Reengineering America, the failed experiment
1) Giving more money at the taxpayers' expense to companies with secret agendas.
2) Giving more money of the taxpayers to finance bankrupt car companies to manufacture more shitty cars.
3) socializing our medical care; ending up with rationed healthcare just like the Soviet Union. Way to go, Obama!
What's next?
According to social scientist, Dr Michael Hammer, reengineering attempts have a 50% success rate. Radical changes are harder to accept unless they are good ones.

'Life is no straight and easy corridor along
which we travel free and unhampered,
But a maze of passages,
But always , if we have faith,
A door will open for us,
But one that will ultimately prove good for us' - AJ Cronin

Why the Iphone sux?
1) can't play music without itunes
2) can't play flash videos despite WiFi capability
2) can't play flash videos despite WiFi capability
3) the glamour of owning a Iphone is fading away. Now users want to own a ebook reader.
I prefer surfing on the internet with a real computer either a desktop or laptop. Besides you can get a cheap laptop for around $300 and it will have more capabilities. So if you looking for mobile device to play music and videos, settle for a smartphone such as a Pantech P7040.
With expandable memory slot, you can play mp3s, wmas, and mp4s files on your phone. You get a bigger screen than a Sony media player. You can also take pictures and videos.
Using expandable memory cards is much quicker route to have music and videos on your mobile device without utilizing the cellphone's slow network and excessive data charges. In some cases, you can get a free smartphone when you sign up for 2 year contract with some provider.

Art of Deception
'Dressing up is inevitably a substitute for good ideas. It is no coincidence that technically inept business types are known as "suits".' -Paul Graham
'Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it' -Eisenhower
'Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word "safe" that I wasn't previously aware of'
- Douglas Adams
' No one is interested, until you make a mistake...'
'The best minds are not in government. If any were, businesses would hire them away.'
- Ronald Regan
(Editor's note: That will explain why most business consultants are clueless today.)
'Ideas not coupled with action never become bigger than the brain cells they occupied'
- Arnold H Glasgow
Otherwords, ignorance breeds stupidity.
'Consultancy is charging big money for corporate advice'
'Me? In love with a pig? Wait til I tell the guys in marketing.' -Kermit the Frog(1984)
'I wish all the people who have trouble communicating would just shut up.' -Tom Lehrer
'Going to work for a large company is like getting on a train. Are you going 60 mph, or is the train going 60 mph and you're just sitting still?' - J Paul Getty
'Business is a good game- lots of competition and a minimum of rules. You keep score with money.'
- Nolan Bushnell
'As long as people will accept crap, it will be financially profitable to dispense it.'
- Dick Cavett
Putt's Law
'Technology is dominated by 2 types of people; those who understand what they do not manage, and those who manage what they do not understand.'
'People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history.' - Dan Quayle
'Far from idleness being the root of all evil, it is rather the only true good.'
- Soren Kierkegaard
The true nature of this blog is to highlight the BS of businesses as well as other walks of life with witty quotes from wise people. Virtually every large company has a mission statement that describe their values or ethnic of doing business with one another. Most sensible people know this is BS. In reality, most corporate entities cannot take harsh criticism, are accused of leading the double standards, and profit from endless lies and deception.

Fact or Fiction?
The logic of the Stern-Magnusson Equation could be Mankind's salvation to a better future.
It predicts earthquake and tsunamis,found hidden oil reserves and abolished city traffic jams.
Or it is just a pipe dream?
