An inaccurate assessment

There is a claim by many on the far right, and an increasing number of moderates and even on the right that "Barack Obama is in over his head when it comes to running the country". Well doh! There is no school for aspiring Presidents! And even if there's one, leadership is an art of character and not the result of some schooling - otherwise, who could argue against hereditary rule!

Rewarding failure

"Politics is the art of the possible ", so said some ancient maxim. I'm not sure I can figure out whose words those really are, but in today's America, those words ring hollow. American politics have become the art of the impossible, since a leading opposition politician declared at the beginning of a new administration and a new congress, that his highest goal for the nation was the "defeat" of the yet to be inaugurated president.

Nigerian CBN governor - a bold narrative

Sanusi's opinion :http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/10/sanusi-why-nigeria-may-remain-underdeveloped/ Six states (representing the so called regions) and 6 ministries (energy, commerce, foreign affairs, defense, treasury (finance), interior). Each state responsible for education (no more federal universities or unity schools), health and police. Each state with two senators and proportional representation in the house of representatives (1 per 2 million people or so). This might be the start of a new nation with some hope for real development.

Excerpts from a Messaging & Collaboration White Paper

Current Trends – Cloud (Hosted) Messaging Solutions Email is only one of a growing portfolio of services in what is routinely referred to as Unified Communication (UC) infrastructure. From the hardware and infrastructure point of view, this often means the integration of network systems for telephone (landlines), internet (data link), video (conferencing, cable etc.) and cellular communication. From the services point of view, the usual term is Unified Messaging (UM) – which encompasses email, voice mail, video mail, instant messaging, and SMS messaging.

David Brooks is not a sap. He's a crock!

David Brooks claims he's a sap for Obama - Yes his argument sounds real if you pretend he has not been writing for the past three years! or even just the past one. Like all Republican's, he finds a way to savage Obama regardless of what he does - mostly when the outcome of the President's actions seems most rational. Brooks is a crock, and he knows it.

Google+ : Not available to Google Apps !

Google's primary interest seems to be Facebook, as it rolls out Google+. Maybe someday, it will make the application available to enterprise users too. Imagine all those Google Apps Education customers with their  millions of users (students - Apps for Education; Government workers - Apps for Government, and ordinary civilians - Apps for Enterprise!) who may need to keep two Google accounts just to use these features -- someone is not thinking all these through.

facebook loosing some of its arrogance - competition is a bitch!

For years, Facebook marched on like an arrogant little child, trampling on users rights and privacy with impunity and showing zero regards for the concern of users, user groups, system administrators and analysts. For year, it had no real competition and so Mark Zuckerberg made a point to lecture us all - "who needs privacy?"
