Mobile and www

Everyone wants to think mobile as another accessory of www... but
Mobile web's requirement (vast majority) and www are entirely
different. Since mobile operators know where i am (lat - lan) the service and Monetization will be entirely different from www....

Simply put

Mobile - Me
www - Some stupid server

Mobile is about when i am on the move.
www is about when i am at the desk.

Mobile is about now-near-dear.
www is about anytime-anywhere-whothehellcares

Mobile data base should be volatile.
www is century's backed-up.

Mobile is mostly about voice.
www is mostly about visual.

Voice is slow.
Visual is fastest.

Mobile - wireless
www - wired (partially wireless).

Mobile- I should be informed.
www - I seek information.

Mobile- I know who the hell r u.
www - I don't care who the hell r u.

Mobile - kept mostly closer to my heart (shirt pocket).
www - Kept in some stupid island

Mobile - You connect to me.
www - Me connect to your server

Anything more?

Statue smashing...

Thiruvalluvar statue at Bangalore and Sarvajna statue at chennai...
is it a good thing or bad thing to do?

One argument can be put in this way... now if any rift happens
between kanadikas and tamilians in bangalore or near...the
first target for kanadikas would be to smash the statue. That
will fuel the anger of tamilians and they will probably want to
retaliate fiercely.

The next thing that will happen is ... people in chennai will
smash the Sarvajna (Sarvangu as they call him in tamil) and that
will further infuriate the kanadikas.

Will this spiral the hatred between the two regional people
living in both states?

OR on the psychological front....another argument can be put.


People will show their anger on smashing the statue than smashing
people...is that good. I would say that is good...then we should
install as many such statues as possible everywhere and peoples
attention will go in protecting the statue and smashing the
statue than attacking each other

My thinking is that this fuel the people attack than bringing
harmony ...let us look at this way...what happens if tamil guys
in bangalore smashes Kempekowda OR Kevempu statue in retaliation
to smashing the thiruvalluvar statue.

According to me this is a bad move by both states to re-installing
the old-forgotten statues at both the places. We will know in
coming years that this will prove ....not too far i beleive...this is
september and we have the cauvery issue coming up.

So....What a stupid act both the state governments did.

My Stupid statement...

My stupid statement....

I have been repeatedly saying this statement for last 2-3
years to many... i donno why i believe in this...and I am
not sure of what i am saying as well.


Science is struck for last the 70-years and Engineering
took over and Engineering is getting struck for the last
10-20 years that is why we are not seeing any progress or
major breakthrough execpt exploitation industry like (mass
production, information extraction, information distribution,
spreading the same technology to underdeveloped country etc.,
etc., etc.,).


and at the end i want to finish like "Where is my De-broglie".


My hope is we will find a good scientific breakthrough soon
and then everything follows on a developmental phase rather
than the exploitation phase.

Today I am happy....

Today I am happy.

I was musing about what i did ... whether that was right or
wrong... it ultimately boiled down to ..."I am right".


Today i received the draft agreement from the client. They
have agreed to pay what i asked... i knew i am not asking
too much...9-lacs for beautiful software (every creators view
of their product is beautiful) is not more.

Anyhow let me have this momentary happiness ... I will wait
until the cash comes to my company bank account then i will
announce to other stake holders.

I wanted to make this blog short... so that i am not overwhelmed by the
"I am right".

Twitter and economy....

Here is the comment i made on someone's blog about attention economy....

Attention is money and Free is an economy there is no question or argument about that.

What Google did? brought all the free info available at one click and doing it
the smarter way (by spending their money).

Seller attention...
That is what google is doing...bringing the attention-seeking sellers to the buyers.
That is what adverticement industry is doing ... bringing the attention
seeking sellers to the buyers through media (print,video and audio).

When it comes to social networking 'attention' it is
buyer attention ... IMHO it should work other way
around. Where the seller will go after the buyer.


If 1000's of 100 member group is talking about Nike...then Nike should
abandon Jordan's (with all due respect to his sports) endorsement and
look deeply into those groups.

If a single 1000 member tribe is talking about taking vacation to Hawaii
...the hotel should hold updating their website and concentrate on the
tribe.


If google is about finding the right seller.... (facegle and twitgle) is about
finding the right buyer.

Push-on-pulls is an easy monetization (Google).
Push alone (facegle and twitgle) will be tough though... customer may get offended on Push
even if it is genuine.

Attention is money and Free is an economy.

What is our obsession with numbers?

What is our obsession with numbers?

Today morning i received a SMS saying ... today around noon
we will witness this...

At 12 O'clock 34th minute and 56th second.... it becomes 123456 and today's date -07-08-09...123456789.

I was immediately reminded of American's would have witnessed it
a month back (because they number month first).

I switch over to Newspaper...here is an interesting news Amioh-a small
village in Haryana goes out off sex, alcohol and non-veg.

Why?

5-misterious death every 17-th day starting May-13th ...

Here is another one...
Master-blaster Sachin says He'll aim for 15,000 runs.

Here is another one ...

Remembering Heroshima after 64-years.

I wrote a mail to my friends...i am reminded of my this week
20-years back when i entered in IIT-Kanpur. The title was
20-years and still fresh...

Why 20-years still fresh?...ofcourse it is 0.5 year for
someone and 22.5 for someone and 25 for somebody else....
actually IITK is celebrating golden jubilee from today.


What is our obsession with numbers?

Kasi
P.S. People who don't have anything to do... play with numbers -Penrose.

He is right. I usually get up at 8:00-8:30 (too early for my
schedule compared to IITK days).

Today this SMS woke me up at 7:00 and did not
know what to do... then when i looked at the paper everything
looked like numbers...sensex going up 300 points, 31-men
crew trapped 70-year old man wants to cycle-stunt in Dasara
in Mysore, etc., Five -17 day death.... should I connect all these numbers
and bring something up?....I am expecting same thing happening on 999 (09-09-09).
