Did you hear about the guy on the beach who found a bottle? He rubbed it and, sure enough, out popped a genie.

"I will grant you three wishes," said the Genie. "But there's a catch."

"What catch?" he asked.

The genie replied, "Every time you make a wish, every politician in the world will receive double what you asked for."

"Well, I can live with that! No problem!" replied the elated man.

"What is your first wish?" asked the Genie.

"Well, I've always wanted a Ferrari," he said.

POOF! A Ferrari appeared in front of the man.

"Now, every politician in the world has two Ferraris," said the genie. "Next wish?"

"I'd love a million dollars," replied the man.

POOF! One million dollars appeared at his feet.

"Now, every politician in the world has two million dollars," said the genie.

"Well, that's okay, as long as I've got my million," replied the man.

"What is your final wish?" asked the genie.

The man thought long and hard, and finally said, "Well, you know, I've always wanted to donate a kidney."

The new Google Video page is uncluttered, in keeping with the company's other entry screens.

Jan 28th 2005
From The Economist Global Agenda

Two of America’s biggest consumer-goods firms have agreed to team up. Can anything stand in the way of their success? And what lies in store for the competition?

SUCCESSFUL marriages depend on many factors. Procter & Gamble and Gillette are a solvent, prosperous and compatible couple. On the face of it, P&G’s offer of $57 billion for the other American consumer-goods firm, an 18% premium on its stockmarket value, seems a generous—but not extravagant—dowry. Warren Buffett, that most renowned of American investors, who could be considered the father of the bride through his 9% stake in Gillette, cooed delightedly that the proposed merger, announced on Friday January 28th, is “a dream deal” that will create “the greatest consumer-products company in the world”.

A big factor behind the mammoth deal rests on the good fit between the two firms’ product lines. P&G, best known for making such things as Pampers disposable nappies, Tide washing powder and Crest toothpaste has gone further into grooming products since the arrival of Alan Lafley, a former beauty-business executive, as chief executive in 2000. He redirected the company after the troubles caused by his predecessor, who had attempted to turn P&G into an innovating growth machine more akin to a drug company. Mr Lafley masterminded the purchase of Wella and Clairol, two makers of hairdressing products, and oversaw a revival of P&G’s fortunes. In the year to the end of June 2004 the firm made a profit of $6.5 billion—some $3 billion more than in the 12 months to June 2000—on sales of $51 billion. The addition of Gillette’s razors and other, mainly male products gives a greater breadth to P&G’s product line.


Proctor & Gamble has information on its aquisition of the Gillette Company.

Gillette has also prospered since the arrival of a new chief executive, Jim Kilts, in 2001. Sliding sales in the years preceding his appointment have turned into growth forecast at 11% for 2004. Profits have burgeoned too: the firm is expected to make $2.3 billion in 2004 on sales of $10.3 billion, almost double what it made in the year before Mr Kilts took over. Gillette’s global sales are expanding and it claims a current global market share of no less than 72.5% for its shaving gear.

The wedding of these two successful firms also has a marketing rationale. P&G spends some $5.5 billion a year on advertising and boasts a particular expertise in marketing to women, while Gillette’s forte is in selling to men. Combining the two firms’ marketing spend—Gillette’s is $1 billion—will also give them more power to negotiate advantageous deals with media companies. Whereas cultural differences have wrecked many past mergers, especially cross-border ones, such problems are less likely in this case, given the relative proximity of the two firms’ headquarters—P&G’s in Cincinatti and Gillette’s in Boston.

P&G’s quest for size is also a response to the growing power of retailers. P&G’s biggest customer is Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer. Such is its dominance in America, where it accounts for about 8% of total retail sales, and its increasing presence in the rest of the world, that it wields huge power over its suppliers. Wal-Mart is notoriously tough in bargaining down the price it pays suppliers. As consolidation among retailers around the world gathers pace, this pressure is sure to grow. P&G may reckon that bulking up will help redress the balance. P&G may also be betting that only the vastest companies will take full advantage of the opportunities offered by globalization and the rise of big new consumer markets (eg, China). In concrete terms, P&G reckons that the merged group can cut costs by some $16 billion a year. It has already said that its combined headcount will be cut by 6,000, some 4% of the total.

But are there dark clouds on the horizon for the happy couple. Seeking growth through acquisitions, rather than organically, always carries risks. There is a danger that the larger a firm gets the more unwieldy and harder to manage it becomes. There are also suggestions that Gillette could be at the crest of its wave. P&G may believe that it can squeeze more value out of Gillette’s brands. On the other hand, the costs of product innovation are high for razors and there are suggestions that consumers may be reluctant to pay ever-increasing sums for razors with ever more blades. Gillette has admitted in the past that it fears competition from low-cost rivals, particularly at its Duracell electric-battery division.

P&G’s rivals must consider their response. Analysts have long suggested that the sector is ripe for consolidation. P&G will usurp Unilever as the world’s leading consumer-goods manufacturer by both market capitalisation and revenue with the acquisition of Gillette. And it will offer yet more intense competition if it cuts prices for products where it competes directly with Unilever. The struggling Anglo-Dutch firm is already under pressure to ditch a 75-year-old dual corporate structure and become one company, with one boss and one HQ, to improve its lacklustre performance. It may now need to find its own partner, and quickly, if it is to have any hope of keeping pace with its eternal arch-rival.

Matthew Green starts his 2005 Ford Escape with a duplicate key he had made at Lowe's. Nothing unusual about that, except that the automobile industry has spent millions of dollars to keep him from being able to do it.
Green, a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University, is part of a team that plans to announce Saturday that it has cracked the security behind "immobilizer" systems from Texas Instruments. The systems reduce car theft, because vehicles will not start unless the system recognizes a tiny chip in the authorized key. They are used in millions of Fords, Toyotas and Nissans.
All that would be required to steal a car, the researchers said, is a moment next to the car owner to extract data from the key, less than an hour of computing, and a few minutes to break in, feed the key code to the car and hot-wire it.
An executive with the Texas Instruments division that makes the systems did not dispute that the Hopkins team had cracked its code, but said there was much more to stealing a car than that. The devices, said the executive, Tony Sabetti, "have been fraud-free and are likely to remain fraud-free."

The implications of the Hopkins finding go beyond stealing cars.
Variations on the technology used in the chips, known as RFID for radio frequency identification, are widely used. Similar systems deduct highway tolls from drivers' accounts and restrict access to workplaces.
Wal-Mart Stores is using the technology to track inventory, the Food and Drug Administration is considering it to foil drug counterfeiting, and the medical school at the University of California, Los Angeles, plans to implant chips in cadavers to curtail unauthorized sale of body parts.
The Johns Hopkins researchers say that if other radio frequency ID systems are vulnerable, the new field could offer far less security than its proponents promise.
The computer scientists are not doing R&D for the Mafia. Aviel D. Rubin, a professor of computer science who led the team, said his three graduate students did what security experts often do: showed the lack of robust security in important devices that people use every day.
"What we find time and time again is the security is overlooked and not done right," said Rubin, who has exposed flaws in electronic voting systems and wireless computer networks.
David Wagner, an assistant professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, who reviewed a draft of a paper by the Hopkins team, called it "great research," adding, "I see it as an early warning" for all radio frequency ID systems.
The "immobilizer" technology used in the keys has been an enormous success. Texas Instruments alone has its chips in an estimated 150 million keys. Replacing the key on newer cars can cost hundreds of dollars, but the technology is credited with greatly reducing auto theft. Early versions of in-key chips were relatively easy to clone, but the Texas Instruments chips are considered to be among the best. Still, the amount of computing the chip can do is restricted by the fact that it has no power of its own; it builds a slight charge from an electromagnetic field from the car's transmitter.
Cracking the system took the graduate students three months, Rubin said. "There was a lot of trial and error work with, every once in a while, a little 'Aha!'"
The Hopkins researchers got unexpected help from Texas Instruments itself. They were able to buy a tag reader directly

from the company, which sells kits for $280 on its Web site. They also found a general diagram on the Internet, from a technical presentation by the company's German division. The researchers wrote in the paper describing their work that the diagram provided "a useful foothold" into the system. (The Hopkins paper, which is online at www.rfidanalysis.org, does not provide information that might allow its work to be duplicated.

The long and short of keys
The researchers discovered a critically important fact: the encryption algorithm used by the chip to scramble the challenge uses a relatively short code, known as a key. The longer the code key, which is measured in bits, the harder it is to crack any encryption system.
"If you were to tell a cryptographer that this system uses 40-bit keys, you'd immediately conclude that the system is weak and that you'd be able to break it," said Ari Juels, a scientist with the research arm of RSA Security, which financed the team and collaborated with it.
The team wrote software that mimics the system, which works through a pattern of challenge and response. The researchers took each chip they were trying to clone and fed it challenges, and then tried to duplicate the response by testing all 1,099,511,627,776 possible encryption keys. Once they had the right key, they could answer future challenges correctly.
Sabetti of Texas Instruments argues that grabbing the code from a key would be very difficult, because the chips have a very short broadcast range. The greatest distance that his company's engineers have managed in the laboratory is 12 inches, and then only with large antennas that require a power source.
Rubin acknowledged that his team had been able to read the keys just a few inches from a reader, but said many situations could put an attacker and a target in close proximity, including crowded elevators.
The researchers used several thousand dollars of off-the-shelf computer equipment to crack the code, and had to fill a back seat of Green's SUV with computers and other equipment to successfully imitate a key. But the cost of equipment could be brought down to several hundred dollars, Rubin said, and Adam Stubblefield, one of the Hopkins graduate students, said, "We think the entire attack could be done with a device the size of an iPod."
The Texas Instruments chips are also used in millions of the Speedpass tags that drivers use to buy gasoline at ExxonMobil stations without pulling out a credit card, and the researchers have shown that they can buy gas with a cracked code. A spokeswoman for ExxonMobil, Prem Nair, said the company used additional antifraud measures, including restrictions that only allow two gas purchases per day.
"We strongly believe that the Speedpass devices and the checks that we have in place are much more secure than those using credit cards with magnetic stripes," she said.

The team discussed its research with Texas Instruments before making the paper public. Matthew Buckley, a spokesman for RSA Security, said his company, which offers security consulting services and is developing radio frequency ID tags that resist unauthorized eavesdropping, had offered to work with Texas Instruments free of charge to address the security issues.
Wagner said that what graduate students could do, organized crime could also do. "The white hats don't have a monopoly on cryptographic expertise," he said.
Rubin said that if criminals did eventually duplicate his students' work, people could block eavesdroppers by keeping the key or Speedpass token in a tinfoil sheath when not in use. But Sabetti, the Texas Instruments executive, said such precautions were unnecessary. "It's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist," he said.
Dan Bedore, a spokesman for Ford, said the company had confidence in the technology. "No security device is foolproof," he said, but "it's a very, very effective deterrent" to drive-away theft. "Flatbed trucks are a bigger threat," he said, "and a lot lower tech."

Microsoft has lately revised the Longhorn schedule. What hasn't changed is that Longhorn will be released to manufacturing in May 2006, according to senior Microsoft executives.

Here's the new schedule.

Longhorn Beta 1 code complete
March 16, 2005

Longhorn Beta 1 internal release and domain rollout
April 2005

Longhorn Beta 2 (and product) code complete
July 1, 2005

Longhorn Beta 2 internal release
Q3 2005

Longhorn Beta 2 public release
September 2005 (PDC 2005)

Longhorn Release Candidate 0 (RC0) internal release
Q4 2005

Longhorn Release Candidate 1 (RC1) internal release
March 2006

Longhorn release to manufacturing (RTM)
May 2006

Notice the inclusion of a RC0 build, which is unusual. The last time Microsoft shipped an RC0 build of a Windows product, I believe, was with Windows Millennium Edition (Me). RC0 releases are typically designed to give Microsoft's hardware and software partners enough time to develop drivers and compatible software in time for the final release of a product.

Microsoft briefly considered having only one beta release, but the company is now "firm" on two beta"

An interoffice softball game was held every year between the Marketing Department and support staff of one company.

The day for the game came, and hard as the Marketers tried, the support staff whipped the Marketing Department soundly.

In their best tradition, the Marketing Department decided to find the best 'spin' they could on the dismal result. They showed how they earn their keep by posting this memo on the bulletin board after the game:

"The Marketing Department is pleased to announce that for the recently-completed Softball Season, we came in 2nd place, having lost but one game all year.

The Support Department, however, had a rather dismal season, as they won only one game all year."

A man was out driving, when he came across a flock of sheep. He got out of his car, and walked over to the shepherd tending the sheep. He asked,
"Are you a betting man?"
"Why do you ask?", said the shepherd.
"I'll bet you $20, to one of your sheep, that I can guess the size of your flock.", he said.
"You're on", said the shepherd, "How many sheep have I got?"
"367", came the answer.
"That's amazing," exclaimed the shepherd, "You're absolutely right! go and pick yourself a sheep."
Having claimed his prize, the man was walking away, when the shepherd called out to him.
"How about another bet- double or nothing.", he challenged.
"What's the bet?", said the man.
"I'll bet you that I can tell your occupation, and who you work for."
"That's a bet." said the man. "What do I do?"
"You're a marketing consultant, and you work for the government.", said the shepherd.
"That's amazing," said the man. "How did you figure that out?"
The shepherd smiled. "Put down my dog, and I'll tell you."

I dont know why i care so much,
i dont know why it hurts,
Its only when i look at it,
i feel this empty pain,
Almost like its a part of me,
it holds a part of me inside,
It holds my heart, my soul, my happiness and everything i stand for,
Everything you meant to me,
everything i felt,
i said to you, in sequence of giving you this gift,
And now i feel betrayed, along, and i dont know where i stand,
All i know is things have changed and they'll never be the same

I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name


I want to feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear
Without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name


Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do


The city's aflood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name


Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, and I see love
See our love turn to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

The Alchemist picked up a book that someone in the caravan had brought. Leafing through the pages, he found a story about Narcissus.

The alchemist knew the legend of Narcissus, a youth who daily knelt beside a lake to contemplate his own beauty. He was so fascinated by himself that, one morning, he fell into the lake and drowned. At the spot where he fell, a flower was born, which was called the narcissus. But this was not how the author of the book ended the story. He said that when Narcissus died, the Goddesses of the Forest appeared and found the lake, which had been fresh water, transformed into a lake of salty tears.

"Why do you weep?" the Goddesses asked.

"I weep for Narcissus," the lake replied.

"Ah, it is no surprise that you weep for Narcissus," they said, "for though we always pursued him in the forest, you alone could contemplate his beauty close at hand."

"But..... was Narcissus beautiful?" the lake asked.

"Who better than you to know that?" the Goddesses said in wonder, "After all, it was by your banks that he knelt each day to contemplate himself!!"

The lake was silent for some time. Finally it said: "I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful. I weep because, each time he knelt beside my banks, I could see, in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty reflected."

"What a lovely story," the alchemist thought.

By Ardeshir Cowasjee

What kind of people are we? Just where have our leaders led us, just what have they inspired us to be?

The oceans are angry. Hundreds of thousands have died and thousands have been buried in mass graves. Millions have been rendered homeless, orphaned, widowed, childless and stricken by grief. The world is weeping, praying, collecting funds, doing what it can to alleviate the massive human suffering, new year and other celebrations were cancelled - and how did the government of Sindh react?

It organized a sea festival. The province's chief minister, Arbab Rahim, joyously inaugurated the merry-making, with the brass bands of the Pakistan Navy blazing away, with flags jubilantly flying. A 'sea' festival, of all things! We should be left speechless.

Amazingly, and most fortunately, nature has been kind to Pakistan. We were well within the range of the Tsunami which caused havoc as far away from its epicentre as Somalia. Had we been struck, how many millions in Karachi, in which over 50 per cent of the estimated population of some 15 million live in 'katchchi abadis', would have died and how many more millions who inhabit the sub-standard buildings indiscriminately 'regularized' by the government of Sindh and its Building Control department would have been left bereft of their homes and possessions?

Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, one would have imagined, is knowledgeable enough to realize that money changing hands does not make a faultily-built building faultless, or a flimsy building stronger. The final dates for 'paying' for this 'regularization' of Karachi's illegal and disgraceful buildings is forever being extended by ordinances.

Shaukat boasts that employment has increased, that no skilled labour is available for employment. Is he really taken in with what the exploitative profiteering builders tell him and with the bumph they advertize with his photograph taking pride of place?

There is no good news on the home front. One bit of bad news is that Professor Dr Attaur Rahman, chief of the Higher Education Commission, has admitted regretfully that his country does not possess one university which ranks amongst the first 500 in the world. Befittingly with our sunken standards, we had the sacking engineered by the Vice-Chancellor of the prestigious Quaid-i-Azam University, retired army captain U. G. Isani, of scholar Q. Isa Daudpota of Comstech (simply, his contract was not renewed).A recent paper published by Salman Baset, a doctoral student at Columbia University, should be read by all who have the slightest interest in furthering the educational standards in this unfortunate country. It relates how Captain Isani obtained a PhD in education from the National Institute of Modern Languages (NIML) in Islamabad. Daudpota, luckily for him, has moved on to a better job out of the education sector. The loss is the country's.

There is yet more depressing news. The Swiss-based World Economic Forum (WEF) has recently issued its Global Competitiveness Report for 2004-2005 evaluating and ranking 104 countries. It has been compiled by Michael Porter of Harvard University, Klaus Schwab of the WEF, Xavier Sala-i-Martin of Columbia University and Augusto Lapez-Claros of the WEF.

The report is broken up into various sections. Under the heading 'Technological readiness', India is listed at 26 with Korea and Luxembourg above it and Panama and Malaysia beneath. Pakistan comes in at 84 sandwiched between Gambia and Nigeria on top and Ukraine and Mali below.

'Firm-level technology absorption' has India at 18, with Norway and New Zealand above and Austria and the Slovak Republic below. Pakistan is listed at 44, under the Czech Republic and Bahrain and over Namibia and Jordan.

'Prevalence of foreign technology licensing' lists India at 8, with New Zealand and Japan above and the United Arab Emirates and Germany below. At 67, Pakistan lies between Tanzania and Nigeria and Costa Rica and Venezuela.

Under 'FDI and technology transfer' India lies at 20 below Kenya and the United Kingdom and above Luxembourg and South Africa. We are at 96, between Ecuador and Mali and Ukraine and Macedonia.

'Quality of scientific research readiness' has India at 17, below France and Norway, and above New Zealand and the Russian Federation. We lie at 94, below Bangladesh and Vietnam and above Peru and Ecuador.

Under 'Company spending on research and development', India is listed at 26, with South Africa and Ireland above and China and Indonesia below. We enter at 101, between Bolivia and Paraguay and Angola and Chad. The last listed under this heading is Ethiopia at 104.

India tops the list at No.1 under 'Availability of scientists and engineers' with Finland at 2 and Israel at 3, while Pakistan lies in the second half at 61 with Slovenia and Bangladesh above and Ghana and Croatia below.

Depressing also was a report in the press last week from Khalid Hasan in Washington on the subject of the annual 'index of economic freedom' exercise conducted by the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal. Pakistan is included among 10 of the 155 countries surveyed whose performance 'worsened' during 2004. It is now bracketed with Ethiopia, Uganda, Haiti, Bangladesh, Morocco, Qatar, Cuba and Tunisia. Pakistan is listed at 133, and India at 118.

Are we destined forever to be just hovering above the bottom of the list?

The weather this morning is absolutely beautiful. Its overcast - grey clouds all over, the wind's blowing in every direction and the sun is nowhere to be seen. Now if I just had an ice lolly, things would be perfect :)

Its raining! Tomorrow all the streets will have turned to slush, there will be traffic jams galore and anyone who wears white or grey pants will want to be able to fly instead of walk.

On a Monday, I am waiting
Tuesday, I am fading
And by Wednesday, I can't sleep
Then the phone rings, I hear you
And the darkness is a clear view
Cuz you've come to rescue me

Fall... With you, I fall so fast
I can hardly catch my breath, I hope it lasts


Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

I am moody, messy
I get restless, and it's senseless
How you never seem to care

When I'm angry, you listen
Make me happy it's a mission
And you won't stop til I'm there

Fall... Sometimes I fall so fast
When I hit that bottom
Crash, you're all I have


Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you known me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

How do you know everything I'm about to say?
Am I that obvious?
And if it's written on my face...
I hope it never goes away... yeah

On a Monday, I am waiting
And by Tuesday, I am fading into your arms...
So I can breathe


Ohhhhh
It seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhhhh
It's as if you've know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
Ohhhhh
I love how you can tell
Ohhhhh
I love how you can tell
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me
All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me...

I keep my opium
In a box of suns and moons,
Among stars of floating fire
And black ice.
My hand descends,
A sharp branch fanning
The swirling sleep of revolution,
And sounds a clarion,
Open like a horn
To a sea of tone,
Where melody seeds waves
To summon the world's storm,
A storm of feathered winds
To carry me home.
Along glass rails of fired sunsets
Where harvest looms in golden hunger
of devouring lions,
I remember the phrase
That lights beginning night
With slate of winter roads,
Whose secret ashen arteries inflame
The blessed flower of annihilation
With smiles of crow war paint.
I step back and withdraw my hand
From the candied keys to a micro-cosmos,
Feeling the little teeth fall away
Like dislodged grave stones.
This music of wondrous death
Calls like a woman who had everything
In the blood of autumn,
But could not bring herself to sing
Astride the iron horse of winter.

I Think About You

I oughta be workin'
But I can't concentrate
I oughta be sleepin'
'Steada stayin' up late
When I oughta be doing all the things I should do
I think about you

I oughta be writin'
But I can't find the song
Just sittin' here driftin'
Driftin' along
There's only one thing that I wanna do
And that's think about you

I think about you - I can't get no rest
I think about you - there ain't no one else
It's all I can do - I can't help myself
Ya - I think about you

I could go cruisin'
But I've had enough
I could go drinkin'
But I can't stand the stuff
It just don't do me like it used to do
I'd rather think about you
