surprising to see this move from a corporate controlled govt
anyway, this is the right way to go... rich have only far richer and poor became poorer...
if only we could have this policy in india... it would be great.... 1% additional tax on ambani would save tons of rupees for poor people...

No salary hike, job cuts
As a part of cost cutting measures to tackle global economic downturn, IT major Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on Thursday said job cuts are possible and ruled out salary hikes next year.
After a long wait finally some action from indian services company.... better late than never....
things have gone from bad to worse, but indian compaines have not taken any remedial action...
i would like to more salary cuts, than job cuts... it would help stabilise the economy....
we have grown too fast for our own good... now is the time to stabilise... and build on what we have...
build infrastructure .... and so on.. required for growth when the recession ends
its just the begining, indian companies were arrogant not to take any action when whole world cracking their brains.... now we should similar action from other companies... and then the collapse of indian economy...
these arrogant IT professionals have taken huge loans, with the assumption that real estate prices can only go in one direction... now we will see it going in the opposite direction...
it was just a matter of time, before one of the indian companies announces job cuts... and other follow... we have reached that time... and the time of collapse of real estate market...

end patents http://endsoftpatents.org/
great site, which covers patent related issues for software
and as usual, US govt does not have any sense, and surprisngly indian govt/judiciary seems to be sensible enough to disallow software patents
patents just kill innovation... i am working professional and i know... patents are just a number for companies ...
and junk US govt/courts say 'anything can be patented'

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/US-cannot-go-back-to-old-ways-rb-14440424.html
it looks i have been proven wrong... atleast there are a few people who have sense of what is happening... who can understand pumping more money won't help.... US can no longer feed the world's economy... and what US financial institutions have done to the world economy
Fortunately, the people with the power to influence don't have that sense and US can destroy itself like soviet union did

bank stocks rise on govt investment
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Bank-stocks-up-amid-report-of-apf-14438324.html
few days when rumours of nationalisation stocks fell ... now when govt wants to put money without trying to control those banks stocks rise
These worthless financial idiots just want more money, without losing control....and distribute that money as bonuses to junk executives.... None of them deserve even a penny... they should all be jailed....but no, US would not do it....because it is a slave of private co-orporatons
atleast in india we know politicians are openly corrupt... but in US they are hidden corrupt... there is no US govt... there are only a group of private company representative sitting in white house

Meaning : Self possessions are always undermined and other's possessions seem better.

Central banks dump dollar for euro
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Global_Economy/GA27Dj01.html
But what about INR ? why isn't it growing ?
Every other currency is growing against dollar, but rupee just keeps touching new lows .....
The great bush turned $236.4 billion surplus into a $413 billion deficit..... you are great bush... no one could have done it....really really great
china is saying publicly they do not want to dump dolllar.... then candidly they have plans to dump dollar.... great news
as the article says china/japan has great control over US dollar... had this recession happened 10 years from now(i am not saying it will not continue for another 10 years)...china would have dumped dollar... but right now china is not self-sufficient... and it is using this recession to become one... when it does we would have tales once upon a time there existed a currency called dollar in US

China begins million-volt power line
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Chinese-utility-tries-to-join-apf-14432288.html
To be frank, i am quite surprised to see this article on yahoo finance, which has been a US finance poster site
Yahoo finance has one of the best web tools being used, but terrible news coverage.
Every junk little thing happening in US is covered, but the most important things happening in china/russia are ignored.
Atleast now US media should have realised there is a power shift from US to Asia
Asia is the future and atleast now they should focus on asia, before its too late... its already too late anyway... US is rotting
"This is a milestone in the history of the power industry," State Grid vice president, Lu Jian
and we are going to see many such milestones being acheived by Asia from now on... asia is going to lead the world...and US media will keep propaganding china as a pirate(stealing US innovation when there is hardly anything done there) and will suffer
As a signature
CNN is not a news channel, its a US propoganda machine

money as debt
www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVkFb26u9g8
Came across this video again today
Analogy to software industry
Start with a terrible design (terrible credit based economy with control lying in the hands of private banks)
Encounter a crash (Periodic recessions)
Don't attempt to fix the bug, but provide workarounds (bailouts, but never fix the financial system)
If no workarounds reboot (try to restart the economy by nationalising/gaining control of banks and then again give it back to prepare for another recession)
And people say software engineers industry working needs revamp (to move to validation style followed by hardware engineers)

nationalise banks
UK is ready to nationalise banks
Germany is ready to nationalise banks
but US is not ..
US wants to spend billions of dollars of tax payers money and give to the financial executives who caused this crisis
Thanks US... for not taking the right direction and screwing yourself

US finds new Afghan supply route
What is there find ?? Several countries were ready to provide supply route for non-military supplies
The key who will accept bribe from US(and risk the wrath of other Arab nations) to allow military supplies
May be they should dig a secret tunnel through earth from US to afghanistan
Even if any country is ready to accept the bribe, i hope it isn't in dollars

UBS blocks US client details move
And a few days back US media was saying UBS was ready to disclose client details.
As always terrible news coverage by US media, and as always other media sponsored by US companies follow the suit (and other media which are only intrested in US)

Iran in 'backroom offers' to West
quote from the article
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7901101.stm
"Iran offered to stop attacking British troops in Iraq to try to get the West to drop objections to Tehran's uranium enrichment project, a UK official says."
So that is why suddenly we see a lower amount of smearing of Iran by US.
What did british offer ??? May be we have some more disclosures to come
But why did the smear campaign even begin ??? US doesn't complain much against PAK or even India. Maybe somebody else offered something to start it at the first place

I see this message today when i log into my orkut account
Now this is infringement... You can suggest to use google chrome if your site does not work on firefox... but suggesting to use google chrome right in the centre of the page is terrible by google standards
But still i can't move away from using google services, they are too good

Bank Worries Pummel Wall Street
What do you expect..
Atleast Europe had the courage to acknowledge failure early and rectify it, but US ... never
11-year low, not good enough... the fall is just begining... there is still a hefty price to pay for US for what it has done to the world financial system

Wallstreet sinks
C'mon 'sinks', you really can't call that way if it happens everyday, it would be just a normal fall. Anyway US should get used to this, this is the only direction wallstreet is going to go
Wallstreet crumbles ....nah...not good... but i am only good enough for that
Gold rises ...... use something better.... it is not just rising .... it is risssssssssing..
I feel very calm after this
I should really do this everyday.... then i don't have to do yoga (i don't do it now, but its just one of the things you wish you could do)

After years of thoughts going to garbage, finally somewhere to put them
But I am no big B to blog every day
What should i blog about ?
Bash everything as the URL says ????
Or bakvaz as the title says ???

It seems i am pretty bad still at googling(really should be added to dictionary, it is more common than any other word) and can't find a gadget for this.
Or maybe google gadget searcher is not enough... yah ... that must be the reason
