Apple Vs Samsung

A very interesting read: source http://www.atlnightspots.com/samsung-pays-apple-1-billion-sending-30-trucks-full-5-cent-coins/

This morning more than 30 trucks filled with 5-cent coins arrived at Apple’s headquarters in California. Initially, the security company that protects the facility said the trucks were in the wrong place, but minutes later, Tim Cook (Apple CEO) received a call from Samsung CEO explaining that they will pay $1 billion dollars for the fine recently ruled against the South Korean company in this way.
The funny part is that the signed document does not specify a single payment method, so Samsung is entitled to send the creators of the iPhone their billion dollars in the way they deem best.
This dirty but genius geek troll play is a new headache to Apple executives as they will need to put in long hours counting all that money, to check if it is all there and to try to deposit it crossing fingers to hope a bank will accept all the coins.
Lee Kun-hee, Chairman of Samsung Electronics, told the media that his company is not going to be intimidated by a group of “geeks with style” and that if they want to play dirty, they also know how to do it.
You can use your coins to buy refreshments at the little machine for life or melt the coins to make computers, that’s not my problem, I already paid them and fulfilled the law. A total of 20 billion coins, delivery hope to finish this week. There is only one way to sum this story up CLASSIC!

Advice to a senior

October which is coming to an end has set in the last quarter of 2012. It seems just yesterday that I greeted all for new year with a warning that this might be last year end party we might enjoy as world comes to an end as per theories going around. So we might have last two months till 21-12-2112 to enjoy. Are the Tsunamis, Biggest thunderstorm hitting US coasts precursor to that one wonders? I don’t think so; it will be slow if at all world ends and not a apocalypse. We have damaged environment irreversibly and maybe our future generations will suffer. Not wanted to be devil’s advocate but sometimes you just wonder


Meanwhile much damage has been done by my senior at Kharagpur Arvind Kejriwal to create thunderstorm. Law minister of land had to threaten him publically, such is his impact. Though i appreciate him for be the first man to take on first family publically, but somehow i feel that he is playing into congress hands by dividing opposition.

Anti Dengue appeal in Model Colony

Shri Mahesh Pathak,

Dear sir,
One youth Prem Thapa ( Sudhir Regency,next to Jain Boarding,near Om Super Market, Model Coly, Pune 411016) was diagnosed Dengu Fever on 10th Oct. Which I reported on 11th Oct to Ghole Rd AC/WO, reminded on 13 th Oct again on 15th Oct. Two employees came & did fogging near the room of Prem Thapa.

The open plot adjacent has become dumping ground & mosquito breeding spot.Requested to DC, who promised to do the needful.
Since then made 3 phone calls and 5 messages to him for action re Open Plot.

Sir, messages were also sent to you on 18th,19th,22nd,25th October informing No action being taken even after reminder to SI,AC,DC. Sorry no response received even from your office.
