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!

Feku the Fraudster on a Throne

Feku the fraudster sat on a throne Feku the fraudster pulled a fast one A masterstroke! A masterstroke! Feku the fraudster set everything afire Now, put out the fire, put out the fire Feku the fraudster laughed, yelled and cried A masterstroke! A masterstroke! Feku the fraudster laughed, yelled and cried All the fraudster’s cows and toadies Went around, in circles, in circles Couldn’t put out the engulfing fire Feku the fraudster’s tail was now afire And, all over a burning hell fire.

Tributes to Dr Amar Bose, founder Bose Corporation   (11-Feb-1929 -- 12-Jul-2013) Dr Amar Bose, 83, died on July 12,Wayland, Massachusetts. Bose Corp. is the maker of some of the best sound systems in the world. Perhaps, Dr Bose was to acoustic engineering and design, what Steve Jobs was to computing. Very different personality. But he brought in disruptive innovation. The presence of Bose Systems was felt by the sound, not through any visual flamboyance of the product. Some of the systems were totally hidden. Understated elegance with unparalleled sound quality. They were expensive, premium products meant for those who really cared a great deal about sound quality and were willing to pay for it. Bose Corporation is a privately held company, with majority shares given to MIT, by Dr Bose. The dividends support education and research. I finally became a proud owner of a Bose system only recently, when I managed to get a modestly priced product at a Bose store. On that day ther...

Racist Attacks on Africans in India (near Delhi) - Reaction to an 'Expert Opinion'

One of my friends from Kenya referred to an article on the recent racist attacks on Africans in India by one Kul Bhushan who had been a newspaper editor in Kenya for three decades. In the article, the writer more or less advises the Indian authorities on combating prejudice and violence against Africans in India. This is my response to the views expressed in that article, which was shared by my friend. The article, sadly, is a shameful and disgusting way to 'advise' the Indian authorities. The writer is more worried about the negative economic impacts of the racial hate crimes in India than the real roots of these recurring racist crimes. That isn't surprising given the Indian capital's search for investment opportunities in Africa and the need for cordial relations to pursue those goals. The writer indirectly, without appearing to say it, makes statements that are rooted in the prevailing racial prejudices among many Indians against the blacks. Are  there really s...
