What is small

What is definition of a small company? A company that can blow 120 millions trying to advertise that they are just a small company. How small is that? Is that 120 millions counted using sand particles or air molecules? No shitting me. Trying asking the company I'm working to spend 100 grands on advertising. The proposal probably get flunk out of the room.

From The Register :
Microsoft is spending $120m to persuade the world it is not a big
American company. The new advertising will be more tightly tied to
local markets and will enhance the work Microsoft is doing in education
and security.

I'm pretty sure the moolah can be put to better used, other than trying to dream pretend to be small. Why? Being small can tell the world that you have to sell your software expensive to become big?

Blood relation

Is it a legal issue or moral issue when 2 person of no blood relation but bond by the law fall in love with each other. A man and a woman get married, and their children, each having one from a previous relationship fall for each other. So in this case, how should it be handle. Technically, I don't think the law actually such relationship but it is just very weird for all the 4 parties. The step-father and the father-in-law is the same person. The step-mother and the mother-in-law is the same person. If the parents have a child, should the new child calls the children brother and sister or brother-in-law and sister-in-law?

Going banana

I cannot remember when is the time that I have eaten my first banana. But somehow, I have known to peel open the banana by its end, and only out of boredom and sheer fun that I peel it by the stem side. But I just totallly dumbfounded to find that people can find it as an amazing discovery to peel by the end. Or maybe they don't western country dun eat as much banana as asian country. Maybe Maybe. Or maybe I should leave a comment saying that I discover that method more than 20 years ago.

This is just so kool

Creativity is such wonderful thing. The sky is always the limit (figurative speaking though) when you can think of as much way to do something. This is just so cool. Anyone going Europe??

Got this via Gizmodo which got it via OhGizmo!

Drawer or no?

I am just so curious. When a babe that you are intimate with gives you a drawer in her warbrobe in her bedroom, is that something that is to be so prompt the jealousy of a dateless buddy? The persons in questions are ficticious. Stop guessing. But still, I am so very curious. Any insight on this?

Thought of the moment

A person who might or thinks that he/she has a good fashion sense does not makes the person comes anywhere near to be a designer. That just reminds me, a food or film critics doesn't mean they can cook up a good dish or film an awarding winning or moolah earning film.

Nevermind, I'm still very grouchy from my insomnia.

The fake nightmare before the real nightmare


Finally Sillypore is taking the ultimate nightmare test. But read through all these news and you will find that Sillyporeans are not ready at all. I think there are just way too many boos boos but of course it is never easy to plan one big exercise that involve the public.

Out of 90 "casualties", only 28 arrived at the hospital and still the hospital was graded A. Kauz. What kind of A was that? During my time (wait, I'm not so ancient horrrrr but I'm stressing the time frame and generation gap or is there one?), A* meant scoring more than 90%, or even an A1 is was more 75%. You mean they have change it now? See, this is what happened when I stop reading the newspaper. I'm not informed of such change. Not only that, the hospital was even ready before attack took place. Man, in a real world situation, if the hospital can be ready before an attack, I think the hospital management staffs should be employed on high pay and put under our Counter Attack team. Then ask them to prepare to KILL THE FARKING ENEMY before they even THINK about killing causing casualties upon us.

You had people WAITING for instructions on WHAT to do when a bomb went off inside a train. When the door opened, no one moved. Volunteer had to tell the people around him, the reporter reported and I quote "Okay, exercise begins. Let's get out of the train now." Yeah right, that is so true of Sillyporeans. Waiting for instruction. Under most situation, normally civilians are likely to rush out of en enclosure once an opportunity arise. Door open liao and u still see there. You look at me, I look at you. Good leh. See can see babes anot.

They made an announcement 15 minutes before they started the exercise, and many commuters left the train in order not to partake in the nightmare exercise. Oh yah, all surprise elements gone. I remember there is a test, done back in the 70s or was it 80s, and I cannot remember what test it is called. Something along the line where if the monitored subjects knew that they were monitored, the result produced will be too good to be true in a real world scenario. I think the same concept applies here.  Probably because of this, no one was really thinking on how they are suppose to be reacting. They will just appear for instructions are on what to do next. Who to blame again? No finger pointing please.

Oh, did I mention that the test took place at 6.30am on a sunday where most part of the nation were snoring away in their dreamland? Be practical. If I'm a terrorist and I'm going to seriously cause damage, no way am I going to do it at that hour. My best bet will be at 8am - 9am during the peak hours to maximum my carnage. But of course, if they are going to conduct the nightmare exercise at that hour, somebody is going to be reading a lot of complain letters. But on the other hand, they will provide a much more real world scenarios and the result collected back will be much much reliable. And that no one, not even the train station staffs nor the hospital be informed to. And no pre-announcement to the public. And the "terrorists" and whoever partake in the nightmare exercise be a lot more discreet, and not letting general public spot them easily.

Oh, I know, its so much easier to say them here in my little space than to carry them out. If they seriously do as I kindly suggested, they will be facing a few more extra outcry and complaints. But if the result comes back positive, that will means we can really depend on the necessary staffs to properly handle the real nightmare. And the public will be assured. At least I would be. And if it negative, then they can really think up better procedures. Now, frankly, I still won't trust them. I still have my doubts since the test data are not accurate enough. Oh, by the way, at that hour when they started the nightmare, I was just about to enter never never land.

Unproven does not equate to untruth


This is just damn funny. Are they running out of ideas for fanciful suing on the legal court? Then again, this might just make good a marketing strategy for the upcoming movie Da Vinci's Code, based on the book of the same title by Dan Brown. Probably half the world around me read it already, so I dun have to go into any details on that, or in fact I actually blog about it some time back.

There are just so many things in this world that unproven but it does not means its untruth. The time when Gods walk the earth and live among man (oh yeah, I'm trying waiting for this to be proven), Rama empire and its intergalactic travel guide, lifeform outside of our solar system.

Randy of kbcafe compares that with the Big Bang theory. I think its just as good as proven that God exist. Damn.
