Goldman Craps no Sachs and other such companies ???

I dont understand the rationale behind such huge bonuses. They are stealing money - sort of. I would say when they consider bonus as a way of retention, then i think the problem can be solved easily if govt restricts the maximum bonus to realistic values. So if someone gets 300K bonus in GS, that person cannot go to any other place for want of better bonus as there is a limit. So now people will value the company for what it is and they will be loyal to it. For now its loyalty to money and thats what they see, after doing an MBA , is that what they are taught ? What sort of ethics are they working on ?

Why Google OS ? Why not Ubuntu

I think i am in love with Ubuntu, having used it for a long time, coming back to using it with 9.10 i have really liked it more and more ... I think we dont need a new OS, we need someone to build a standard OS like ubuntu. Google OS is only for netbooks and its not for PCs and if people think its the future .. yes we already have the future, we have linux distributions. All we have to do is start using it, then automatically you will find hardware manufactures building drivers for it.

I am using Dell studio 1555 and ubuntu 9.10
- I have a lexmark X2600 all in one printer and i got the driver from lexmark website and it works great, just took seconds to install, it was much faster than standard windows install.
- My SD card was recognized and i was able to read it, out of box.
- Everything works, except bluetooth, which i will check.
- Brightness control issue has been rectified with new kernel which is in RC stage.
- I have been using it for the past 5 days didnt have to restart even once. Windows 7 had to be restarted more than once a day, thanks to issues with flash player and skype not working.

Google Wave - Crap ?

Here are the different emotional stages i went through

Stage 1 - Begging for invites.
Stage 2 - Now i have an account, what do i do, i need more friends to join.
Stage 3 - Wait for others to join.
Stage 4 - Start waves to discuss on what to do with waves.
Stage 5 - Boring ....
Stage 6 - Forgot i have a Google wave account ...

This is too much. I hate being kept in suspense only to see i cannot do anything with it.. Looks like lot of people in world like wasting time.

Lost Trust ? Indians huh .... AMWAY SCAM ...

I am tired of the pestering indian desi's who are scouting for "AMWAY" "QUIXTAR" talents !!! I have lost trust now, any indian approaching me in a store , it feels as though everyone is running behind with a business and want to recruit you ... so simply whether its your business or anyone elses business , whether you are amway or any other company thats hiding behind it or looking like it .. Some do it alone, some involve their wives into it ... please please STOP THIS , dont let people lose trust on each other .. i am sure now i will be very critical and aggresive if someone tries to befriend me for a business idea ... stop the scam.
