A revolution cometh


There are two types of people here: one who are smart enough to get the real picture from the ground and the second, who rely on somebody's painted image to make a percept. To simplify further, there are people who can think and there are people who need to be fed thoughts. Majority of the people are latter, and if you are a salaried, sinecure and safely ensconced person, a very high probability you are latter.

The depths to which the society is crying for help leaves me aghast. Speechless, spellbound and angry. And helpless. There isn't much I can do sitting other than crib a little more about how bad things are becoming. But it is. Just because I am staring at it like a deer-at-headlights don’t means the facts change. I have never experienced such a hopeless situation as we now find ourselves in. 

And what drives me mad, truly mad as hell, is that this is easily and quickly resolvable. All and only thing required is a WILL to do it. Alas alas, for the spineless conscienceless keepers that we elected are happy to fiddle their thumbs as their populations suffer. Only if more and more people start looking out of their window (not just the browser) and see how the real life is impacted you will see why we are on throes of revolution - much needed and damningly fierce and brutal. Like any battle of elephants, few ants are going to be crushed, in this battle of subsistence and ultra-rich aka The 1%, the clash will be fierce.

Net Neutrality - Fight for free expression

The "Net neutrality" issue, where we fear networks/infrastructure providers will decide (euphemism for censorship) what customers will read/watch/listen/buy on net. Many of the features that we fear in the "Net-neutrality" have already been implemented across various other platforms like telecom. For example, my telecom service provider has blocked the competitors GPRS sites and also does not allow access to many other sites on Internet, from where the free goodies like mobile applications, software, games, wallpapers, tones etc can be downloaded. This leaves me with the only service provider for above products, the service provider himself. This is totally blocking my freedom and my right to choose. This is just a glimpse; with "Net-neutrality" issues at stake are enormous. There should be no way; any entity (maybe, other than individual governments.) should be able to determine what is accessible and what is not. :) Falkor

Definition of Cult Stocks

From a blog: A classification describing stocks that have a sizable investor following, despite the fact that the underlying company has somewhat insignificant fundamentals. Typically, investors are initially attracted to the company's potential and accumulate positions in speculation that its potential will be fulfilled, providing the investors with a substantial payout. While most of these cult stocks promise they will be the next big story after they make a new discovery or get the newest contract from the government, most do not provide investors with anything other than the story. Furthermore, these stocks typically generate very little, if any, revenue at all. For example, many micro-cap biotech stocks are cult stocks. While they promise that they are going to be working on a miracle compound or drug, most of them do not have any source of income as they slowly burn away their initial capital in research and development. However, some cult stocks do occasionally make good on...
