IPL, data leaks, and a reliable Operating System: A Technical Note!



Now, that IPL spectacle is into a new and blood curdling phase, it is time to talk of many things - of cabbages and kings; of data flows and operating systems!
Mind you, the valuations and profit projections of IPL were from the most reliable of sources. 
Hope you heard it right - the leaked email was, indeed, a great revelation! No team owner stands to earn one Paisa (not a Cent, not a single Penny) of profit for the next several years! Isn't that great!
This proved to be such an exciting info to Minister-X that his email inbox imploded (virtually)! 
It further strengthened his resolve to bat for his team! 
After getting to know that there is no way of earning profits for a very long time to come, the Kochi bid went up by several million dollars! What a brave new world of business we are into now! Forget the sub-prime crisis, global recession and bubbles. You haven't even imagined how big the bubbles could get!


Yes, must get back to the note.


One leaked file is worth two million official disclosures! Got it? Don't be stupid. Learn to be smart, my dear!
If someone gets data across the desk, especially the front desk, you got to take it with tons of salt. But not so, if it is well and truly leaked!
And, if the leak is from one Minister's PC to another Minister's laptop, Blackberry or iPhone, then it must be pure Gold, Platinum and Diamonds - all fused together to form the Golden Fleece!
Now that we are wiser, forget the RTI, a good leak is what matters! And more so, when it is digitally leaked! You bet! We can even digitally authenticate!
Daughter 2 Daddy/Minister-A; Minister-A 2 Minister-X; Minister-X 2 ??@dpbq, and on it goes hoping across PCs, laptops, netbooks, blackberrys, proxy-servers, VPNs, WANs, …. sweating and tweeting all the way home, collecting some sweat equity on its return. How sweet!
Well you know, where it went, all the way over the internet! So don't expect me to squeal!


Now, the big News! That is why this note.


This most critical information was found in emails transmitted through our very own smart e-governance platforms! What an efficient e-governance we have! State of the Art and the very Top of the Shelf Tech! Proven reliable over hundreds of generations!
The worksheets laden with the heaviest of all data! The Union Budget? You must be kidding! 
And, mind you, all this data moved through the special digital links connecting servers running our most reliable operating system. What is that?
MS-WOS? MacroSoft Windmill OS? Yuk! That is just toilet paper!
Our smart networks, servers, PCs, laptops, ministries, departments, companies, what have you  - they all run on MCK-OS - the most stable, robust, scalable, reliable, versatile and ubiquitous Micro Close Kinship Operating System!
We run ultra smart e-governance networks on the MCK-OS.
Easy to install! Easier to run! Unlike any other!

Indian Space Program and Recent Reporting – Hype vs Facts: A Quick Look

Was planning to write a long note on the inflated hue and cry over India’s space program. This is a summary of my views without going into the details. Of late, every successful event of the Indian space programme is celebrated as if it is a ‘historic’ one. An impression is given as if the whole program is merely a few years old and all that it has achieved has been in a short period of a few years. To be more specific, unlike in the case of the missions of countries like the USA, when Indian media reports on the Indian missions readers do not get any idea as to when the mission was planned and what kind of effort has gone into it. Just like the Mars Mission launched towards the end of 2013 , the various satellite launches are the result of many years of planning to ensure that India has a series of satellites of different capabilities and there are replacements as old satellites are retired.  India’s Mars Orbiter Mission that was placed into an orbit around Mars in September 2014

A Pestilence - The Karatified-Left

These days there is a certain brand of unwelcome Leftists who pop up when some of us discuss either the dangers of sanghi fascism or start conversations about building wider unity to defeat these fascists. They appear mainly to question the discussions on unity against the sanghi-fascism and to discredit vehemently the Congress, avoiding the question of countering the sanghi fascists. When we look up their worldviews or the overall demeanour, they appear to be left-leaning. Strangely, they never discuss anything about fighting the sanghi-fascists. When it comes to discussing trends like this, we need some labels or short descriptions for those exhibiting similar traits, expressing converging views, singing consonant tunes, or dancing to the same beats. They fall into the trend of cleverly equating BJP and Congress with all sorts of whatabouteries used by the sanghis , avoiding discussions on countering the sanghi threat, deliberately underplaying the sanghi -fascist threat and

IPL, Modi & Tharoor: moolah, fireworks, less light!

IPL, Modi & Tharoor. A not so savvy head of IPL, very undiplomatic minister, so much murk, more moolah, great thrill! More off the field than on it! More of fireworks, less of light! IPL (or is it sports as business in general?) seems to be evolving into gigantic world-wide gambling enterprise that is possibly spinning out of control. If it is a legitimate business, why not have proper regulatory system to ensure some transparency? IPL news reeks of insider trading, bid fixing, and what not. For a business of this scale, it is high time there is at least independent third party involvement in managing the auctions. Norms are needed for a business whose valuation does not appear to be based entirely on usual business parameters. And, let those in responsible positions be a little more accountable. Not just tweets and blogs, but by filing legitimate disclosures.
