LetsDiscuss: today, 62 years ago - after Hiroshima


The allied invasion of Japan was not due for another three months. Yet, after Hiroshima, the Japanese people were given less than two days, to force their rulers to surrender, or they faced certain death by incineration. These were innocent civilians, being told of a certain and horrifying death, if their leaders did not comply with the American wishes.

Tech: Inside Google headquarters


At work - would you want at all times to be no more than 150 feet from a source of food. Would you like to challenge your colleagues to a chess duel or listen to live band every friday. How about a 15 pound massage after a tiring day at work. Sounds swell then Google is the place for you......

Miscellaneous: diet misconception

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a lamb eat? Leaves and corn. And what are these? Vegetables.So a kabab is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken.

LetsDiscuss: ' Bullet For Bullet' aka Terrorise The Terrorists!

Recent two failed accounts of London Bombings and last year's plan to bomb the TransAtlantic Flights by the terrorists prompt me to think that UK Police is bit 'soft' on the terrorists, reason the pseudo secular Human Rights! Thus far only one instance I know in which the Terrorists were wiped out, yeah that's right it was our own Super Cop KPS Gill's 'Bullet For Bullet' program. I guess, the its high time for the UK Police to embrace the same strategy, in which, 'instant justice' is 'delievered', as did the Mumbai Police in the late 80s and early 90s.

Business: "I trusted you, and now you're stealing from us!" Steve Jobs To Bill Gates

When Steve Jobs recruited Microsoft to be the first third party applications software developer for the Macintosh, he was already concerned that they might try to copy our ideas into a PC-based user interface. As a condition of getting an early start at Macintosh development, Steve made Microsoft promise not to ship any software that used a mouse until at least one year after the first shipment of the Macintosh.
