{SamsoNgroup} Not So Common - Nice read


Thanks to Raksha for the post.


An Obituary printed in the London Times - Interesting and sadly rather true. 

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, 
Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: 
- Knowing when to come in out of the rain; 
- Why the early bird gets the worm; 
- Life isn't always fair; 
- and maybe it was my fault. 

Common Sense 
lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. 

Common Sense 
lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. 

Common Sense 
lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. 

Common Sense 
took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. 

Common Sense 
finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. 

Common Sense 
was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason. 

He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; 
I Know My Rights 
I Want It Now 
Someone Else Is To Blame 
I'm A Victim 

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

Microsoft supremo ( Bill Gates ) talks of the rise of the tablet, with Steve Jobs looking on


Click on the link... and listen to the future talk by them!!



It's May 2007, and Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are being interviewed during The Wall Street Journal's D: All Things Digital conference. A question is put to the bosses of the two biggest home computer giants about their ideas for the future of personal computing.

One of the men answers that he sees the future as still being led by the PC. "It will be the PC," he says. "Maybe used a little more tightly coupled with some back-end Internet services and some things like that".

The other man says: "I don't think you'll have one device. I think you'll have a full-screen device that you can carry around and you'll do dramatically more reading off of that... yeah, I mean, I believe in the tablet form factor...You'll have some way of having a hardware keyboard and some settings for that. And then you'll have the device that fits in your pocket, which the whole notion of how much function should you combine in there, you know, there's navigation computers, there's media, there's phone."

Now you would bet on the first man being Gates and the second Jobs. Right? No, wrong. It seems that Bill had the vision.

If only Apple wasn't so darned good at product launches then maybe Billy boy would be donning a black turtle neck and introducing the next-gen Microsoft phone to a cheering audience next month.

If you've got time, it's worth watching the full set of these videos on YouTube. Hindsight is a funny thing.
