My fav design pattern

Poetry flows when I feel sleepy

I present you my elite poem, writting while trying to fight off sleep. Ofcourse as I progressed I lost the fight and abruptly ended the poem. Is this is side effect of sleepiness? Poetry :O

--
As I sit here, fighting off the demons inside,
 I can see one more of them lurk beside.
Fight as I may, with valour
 My situation gets paler.
How much longer should I resist the temptation,
 Succumb to them, but is it a a solution?
With my sword drawn, I make the final charge,
 Alas its over for me... the sleep has given me a dishonorable discharge.

Software lockin by Intel

Ok this gets me really angry. WTF is going.
Intel and Skype have an agreement that Skype will 'detect' and disable features on AMD processors. What does this mean? So now the Skype license says that a user MUST have Intel processors. Is it not a horrible kind of compulsory sale of Intel processors?

Microsof's chance to beat Apple

Microsoft squished Apple @ computers. Apple bounced back with the iPod. Hmm for Microsoft to bounce back what is the best and surest way to do it? Xbox? Perhaps no. SONY has dug up trenches there.
I do not know the answer - if I knew it, I would have used it already.
I do know a person who can have the answer. The person who started it all - Personal computers - Steve Woznaik.
Maybe Microsoft could try hiring him. Or did they try and hire him, but failed?

Then, one day, while eavesdropping on cell phone calls, Woz begin hearing a new exchange: 888. And then, after more months of scheming and waiting, he had it: 888-8888. This was his new cell-phone number, and his greatest philonumerical triumph.

The number proved unusable. It received more than a hundred wrong numbers a day. Given that the number is virtually impossible to misdial, this traffic was baffling. More strange still, there was never anybody talking on the other end of the line. Just silence. Or, not silence really, but dead air, sometimes with the sound of a television in the background, or somebody talking softly in English or Spanish, or bizarre gurgling noises. Woz listened intently.

Then, one day, with the phone pressed to his ear, Woz heard a woman say, at a distance, "Hey, what are you doing with that?" The receiver was snatched up and slammed down.

Suddenly, it all made sense: the hundreds of calls, the dead air, the gurgling sounds. Babies. They were picking up the receiver and pressing a button at the bottom of the handset. Again and again. It made a noise: "Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep."

The children of America were making their first prank call.

And the person who answered the phone was Woz.

Nice song

Boulevard of Broken Dreams, by Green day is lovely. It conveys what life without a direction, life that has been beaten badly is like.

This is what a top Standard Chartered employee is like

Hit and run
pick up fights with a cop, try and subvert the  law, threaten ... even cops
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1401638.cms
The person here is a top employee of the Standard Chartered bank, has a Mercedes Benz and f***ing talks on a mobile phone when he drives.   If that is the behaviour, how do they expect any sensible behaviour from these ppl towards their customers.

It definitely leaves an impression on the company that hires him.
