It has been roughly an year now since the idea of Balmer to take over Yahoo impacted the future of several executives associated with both Yahoo and Microsoft. Even though the deal ended with absolute zero progress, and Redmond saying they are no more interested, there are still rumours around that new Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz will look into the deal again. AlthoughYahoo stock gained 2.6% on that day , Carol didn’t reveal her plans about the future of troubled internet firm and her options in hand seem too few with less time to act .
However, in redmond, a recent interview of Balmer with AP (Associated Press) revealed that with the new CEO , Balmer is back to reconsider the deal only if old CEO Yang keeps quiet. This hints the begining of another dancing round for both Yahoo and MS with Google enjoying the show. The only benefitor from MS – Yahoo deal is neither MS nor Yahoo but its the strong rival both are trying to bend, google. While MS focused on getting Yahoo and Yahoo focused on avoiding MS, both are left behind in the game, keeping the All-time-winner, google which wants to grab even that single digit share of search market from Yahoo and Live.
If big-headed Balmer can keep calm and think over again what has happened , he will soon realize that Yahoo is no more the Yahoo that he intend to buy. It has lost many key executives and most of market share where MS is looking at, Search Engine. If MS wants to buy all of Yahoo instead of its search division, it would become the biggest blunder MS has ever made. Yahoo is weak in all of its areas except Auto sales and Finance. As of Dec 2008, Yahoo has 10% of search market share decreasing steadily with a speed of 20%/year and MSN, live combined has 4.6% of share decreasing at 25%. So, even if Balmer manages to buy Yaho now, his market share may be 15% which is decreasing at 22%/year ending at at 4.6% in 5 years which is the share if MS in the market now. Also, MS used its innnovation in marketing instead of improving search results by offering Cash back etc., which nobody remembered anymore.
The key thing in any business is not just buying the leader, but trying to beat the leader. Diff. innovations and ideas experimented thorugh out the path will someday lead you to be the leader.The best thing for Balmer is to invest more in its search technology than ever and see if it works out instead of going for Yaho, whose share is sure to deteriorate soon if not now. Hire new researches , get people from academia, fund across universities to see if you can improve your search results by atleast 1%. If you invest what ever you want to do in academia instead of Yahoo, your market share is definitely going to increase Balmer! Stop throwing keyboards at ppl and use those keys to see the scary results your search engine gives !!

The worst of Economic crisis
Today I found an article on timesofindia.com titled ‘Orissa seeks 1500 crores to tackle econimic crisis’. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Orissa-seeks-Rs15bn-to-tackle-slowdown/articleshow/4149004.cms . I was at first puzzled – whatt? I quickly read through and foudn that, because of the economic slowdown in global and US economies, Orissa economy is facing massive challenges and to overcome that, they need money. The total revenues of Orissa state itself is 7500 crores, Of which 25% is from agriculture which has nothing to do with ‘ global meltdown’. As if US banks and US motor companies are dependent on Orissa and due to ecoomic presure, they are closing operations in Orissa and its state revenues fell down, orissa govt. is asking money from center. There are no massive lay offs in India especially in Orissa which is facing the ” global meltdown heat” for no reason and there are even no signs that Orissa revenues will decline. Even though world is in recession, not the needs of these political bastards and that should be the only justification for their cluless and baseless aid request.

Father of Indian Corruption
I always know one fact for sure. The way their seniors are, same will be juniors. Few months back, our friends are talking about the current scenario in India and how they are afraid of moving back to the country. As usual, the topic boiled down the only thing that infected India causing severe damage – corruption. I questioned – Who TF is my senior Indian who started this practice? I googled now and then with several combinations like ‘corruptin start in India’ – but no use. Today, I opened wiki to know the export to import ratio of India and found nothing about it. But found the answer to my other search -’ Licence raj ‘ system in India. Under this system, any business has to undergo through 80 agencies to obtain licences from and its in the control of the state to either grant or deny the request. Coruption flourished out of this system. All the ppl in all the 80 depts have to be paid to get a licence. The government started with saying that, they want planned economy. what ever, the ppl in all the levels of govt got rich after this system and finally in 1991, under pressure from IMF threatining they wont give foreign aid to India, these political bastards fearing that they won’t get anything more from the ppl in bribes, relaxed the rules to a good extent and got the aid.
By the way you know who the ’Father of Corruption’ that started this licence raj and ruled the early India with similar policies fostering all such practices as first prime minister of India from 1947- 1964 ? – Chacha .

An awful project
Today, I asked my sister to send her project description to edit something. She sent me the description. Title read ” Voice recognition in Security Systems” . The name sounded strong and I thought she may be working on some cool stuff. Then I went ahed to read the description which says – ” In this project, we are developing a real-time system which converts a spoken password by system administrators to text and uses it to login to the system. It doesn’t use any external memory and is very efficient. It has so many applications in security systems. “
Are you joking ? Who the hell in this earth is going to use that system?
