In March 21, 2006 , Microsoft announced a $500 million business marketing campaign, calling it their “largest ever” :) ….[I guess I have heard a Long Horn long back] It is scheduled to be available for imposition on individual users at the end of January 2007.

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today launched BadVista.org, a campaign with a twofold mission of exposing the harms inflicted on computer users by the new Microsoft Windows Vista and promoting free software alternatives that respect users’ security and privacy rights.

Where the world goes, the choice is always yours!!

For those of you who don’t know, LOPSA is the League of Professional System Administrators.

The League of Professional System Administrators (LOPSA) is an independent New Jersey nonprofit corporation. Our mission is to advance the practice of system administration; to support, recognize, educate, and encourage its practitioners; and to serve the public through education and outreach on system administration issues.

If you are in passion about your System Admin job, possibly I love to recommend you to join us, right away ! Its free to register and need to pay a little bucks more for some advanced privileges.

And LOPSA say “Advance yourself in the profession of system administration, and to advance the profession as a whole!”

Do you laugh when the waiter drops a tray full of dishes? Unix weenies do. They’re the first ones to laugh at hapless users, trying to figure out an error message that doesn’t have anything to do with what they just typed.

People have published some of Unix’s more ludicrous errors messages as jokes.

The following Unix puns were distributed on the Usenet, without an
attributed author. They work with the C shell.

% rm meese-ethics
rm: meese-ethics nonexistent
% ar m God
ar: God does not exist
% "How would you rate Dan Quayle's incompetence?
Unmatched ".
% ^How did the sex changeSHIFT6 operation go?
Modifier failed.

//replace SHIFT6 with ^

% If I had a ( for every $ the Congress spent,
what would I have?
Too many ('s.
% make love
Make: Don't know how to make love. Stop.
% sleep with me
bad character
% got a light?
No match.
% man: why did you get a divorce?
man:: Too many arguments.
% ^What is saccharine?
Bad substitute.
% %blow
%blow: No such job.


These attempts at humor work with the Bourne shell:


$ PATH=pretending! /usr/ucb/which sense
no sense in pretending!
$ drink < bottle ; opener
bottle: cannot open
opener: not found
$ mkdir matter; cat >matter
matter: cannot create

Have ya ever been a situation that ya just whisper, or yell out the word SUCK?

We had a discussion at office, and I commented:-

The same kind of apprehension had much attention merely a decade ago in this so called IT world.
High-time; The Big-BLUE Vs The Dark-Side.

Yes, finally IBM lost the battle filed, but Mr. Gates still worried about the Big-Blue.

“The biggest company in the computer industry by far is IBM. They have the four times the employees that I have, way more revenues than I have. IBM has always been our biggest competitor. The press just doesn’t like to write about IBM,” said Gates.

Let’s dig some more history;

(Sony) PlayStation Vs Xbox 360 (Microsoft’s next-generation gaming unit).
[Sony, please do pay some more attention]

This I love:

Internet-Explore Vs Netscape. [When the IE bundled with Windows OS, Netscape slowed down the race and almost quit]
And now the “Blue e�? tussles with firefox (Hey people; use firefox and know the difference)

In this case, I personally NOT feel much about a race in the “search�? area.

00.Google is a .com/net company; Internet is there arena.
01.Microsoft is a software company (They do and deals with many stuffs)

Why can’t we think of any Y! Effect (who knows; that’s the beauty of Internet)

It’s all about us, the users. Who has gotten innovative ideas and users in mind (google); they gonna survive and obviously marketing (Microsoft) comes next to that.

Tail:

I personally use aggregated google and Yahoo! Search with an extension in my firefox browser.

“Live�? looks gOOd that’s a catchy name too; lets try !

…something wrong with the world today….or

….something wrong with mY eyes !!

US weekly magazine BusinessWeek teamed up with The Boston Consulting Group to produce the second annual ranking of the world’s 100 most innovative companies. More than 1,000 senior managers responded to the global survey, making it the deepest management survey to date on this critical issue.

The BusinessWeek-BCG survey also focuses on the major obstacles to innovation that executives face today. While 72% of the senior executives in the survey named innovation as one of their top three priorities, almost half said they were dissatisfied with the returns on their investments in that area.

A lack of coordination is the second-biggest barrier to innovation, according to the survey’s findings. But collaboration requires much more than paying lip service to breaking down silos. The best innovators reroute reporting lines and create physical spaces for collaboration. They team up people from across the org chart and link rewards to innovation. Innovative companies build innovation cultures. “You have to be willing to get down into the plumbing of the organization and align the nervous system of the company,” says James P. Andrew, who heads the innovation practice at BCG
