New Post (66) : Why Wikileaks leaks
Wikileaks is no hero as some are trying to make them out to be.
Post the shock of 9.11 the enormous pressure on the US government to co-ordinate the workings of it’s various agencies responsible for national security led to information being placed indiscriminately on a wider digital net…accessible by “all and sundry” in the security community.
The leak was inevitable.
Wikileaks is---"shamelessly making capital from a traumatized nation’s response to a huge tragedy".
...like stabbing a mourner in the back !
Every freedom, journalistic and other, has to be worked within civilized boundaries.
In by book, Wikileaks has disgraced “journalism”.
I have nothing but unconcealed contempt for this brand of Wikijournalism.
In due course the real motivation between Wikileaks LEAKS will be revealed.
I hope !

app-vertising is the new ad-vertising.
New Post (65) : app-vertising is the new ad-vertising.
Nearly two billion people worldwide are already using browsers.
It is clear that browser-based app-vertising holds the greatest promise.
The "app-vertising" business is capturing the imaginations of brand marketers worldwide.
App-vertising is the use of applications to deliver branding, messages, content, or functionality to reach target audiences.
If you're looking for a tool that offers affordability, ease of use, and significant return on investment (ROI), then app-vertising may well be right for you.
Whether you're new to app-vertising or already reaping its benefits, you need to know a few things.
App-vertising goes beyond mobile
Much of the noise in the marketplace is about mobile apps for the iPhone or Android, so you may be wondering where Web apps can take your business.
Whether it is apps for the iPad, netbooks, television set-top boxes, car electronics, or the Web, …you're probably interacting with the technology more frequently than you think.

India : Investing in think Tanks.
New Post (64) : India : Investing in think Tanks.
Think tanks are autonomous institutions …autonomous from their funding sources, be it, public or private that are tasked to contribute to the making of public policy.
India probably has the second largest number of think tanks in the world after the United States.
((( Not surprising given that both countries are democracies and encourage public debate ))).
As a modern/progressive and democratic society, India must invest in (both) quantity and quality think tanks.
The larger public good requires …the fullest use of experts and expertise (and an encouragement of OPEN debate).
The economy and strategic-security studies should be at the core of these think tanks. So, “”“iGUESS”””.

Privatize courts, Outsource justice
New Post (62) : Privatize courts, Outsource justice.
"Privatization" and "Outsourcing" are the 2 mantras that anyone in Govt and/or business would swear by.
The courts are inundated by cases. Swamped over. Flooded by a surging backlog of cases.
Justice delayed is a crime unto itself.
Fiction may "surprise". But, the facts on the dispensation of justice are simply "shocking" !
So why not---do the obvious. Privatize and outsource.

Cyber age wars
New Post (61) : Cyber age wars
The attack of the Bots…
If a rogue wants to bring down a country's information infrastructure and he doesn't want anyone to know who did it, the weapon of choice is a distributed denial of service attack.
Using rented bot nets, he can launch hundreds of thousands, even millions of info bombs at a target, all while maintaining total deniability.
A full-scale assault lasting days or weeks could bring an entire modern information economy to its knees.
The rogues are feeding off of advances in (science and) technology---that are intended for good use.
One can only hope that no nation or nations will choose to “orchestrate”---The attack of the Bots…
The consequences could be devastating beyond imagination !
In an X-treme Scenario : 21st century minds thrown back in a flash to a middle ages world of savagery would just not know how to cope.

The Capture of Adolf Eichmann
New Post (60) : The Capture of Adolf Eichmann
An interesting record of how with sheer perseverance the Jewish state went about tirelessly, bringing to justice the perpetrators of the holocaust.
See: http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/eichcap.html
Is there a lesson in it for the USA that suffered a 9.11 and for India that suffered a 26.11
The search for the perpetrators and their abettors must never be called off. Justice must be delivered.
No extraneous considerations must be allowed to interfere with this end-Objective...
The Americans and the Indians too can achieve what the Israeli’s have achieved. Justice for it’s people.
