Key Global And Ethical Issues
Mon, 21 Apr 2008 22:22:31 PDT
A while back I tried to write a series of blogposts on some key ethical issues facing our world today. After first drafts, it just sat there, unfinished, testament of my inability to write extended blog pieces. I love the long essay format, but there’s something about writing in that style that, for me at least, doesn’t work on a blog (even when cut into bite-sized pieces). So, I’m taking another pass at the idea of outlining some global ethical problems in a shorter, more notesy format. This i
Enterprise Collaboration and Virtual Teams Report (April 22, 2008)
Mon, 21 Apr 2008 22:26:10 PDT
The People Part of Enterprise Collaboration and Virtual Teams Chuck shares some thinking about recent work at EMC about the use (or otherwise) of a taxonomy on its collaboration platform. The discussions around what they were trying to achieve ("primarily around orienting new users") resulted in different ways of doing things. "But, if this experience has taught me anything, it's that we need to be even more clear about what we're trying to do here. There's a ton of pre-conceived baggage aro

One evening a few months ago, Ghulam Ali Bloch, a retired bureaucrat turned progressive farmer, who has his roots in remote village Jalla Balla in the suburbs of Sargodha, was finishing up a contract negotiation for buying a piece of land for opening an Ostrich Farm when he realised that a crucial piece of information required to close the deal is missing. He needed to know who had the right to haqq-e shufah (pre-emption). He could only obtain the facts from the central registry of the revenue d

Do not cut online marketing funds in face of recession Filed: Pay Per Click, Marketing Science, Marketing John Ellis @ 12:42 am With the value of the dollar decreasing and a decline in consumer confidence, it might seem counter-productive to keep spending. However, that is exactly what needs to be done. History shows that marketers that maintained or even increased spending benefited from the silence of others.

Twitter Clouds - What Would John Constable Think?
Mon, 21 Apr 2008 22:45:00 PDT

Beeker especially liked the two word option as it turned interesting discoveries. I learned about this form the IF Team who said. “The clouds highlight common keywords that people use in the

Aurangzeb turns "benevolent ruler" NCERT textbook style
Mon, 21 Apr 2008 23:04:26 PDT
Just a few days ago, I read something about why Aurangzeb got the Kashi temple demolished. Some sundry queen of a vassal kingdom was harassed there or something. I wonder if the dhimmi so-called intellectuals really accept this as even 1% reason to demolish a temple (maybe they do) !! Or is this a feeble attempt to show the fundamentalist Islamic terrorist called Aurangzeb in a good light? Sadly, it falls flat on its face. Demolishing a temple because some woman was teased there... Rather

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 23:04:50 PDT
