A war that goes beyond polite remarks

To make life even more difficult for Microsoft & its other A war that goes beyond polite remarkscompetitors, Google has now decided to acquire the Internet security firm Positing for $625 million. “With this transaction, we’re reinforcing our commitment to delivering compelling hosted applications to businesses of all sizes. Now, our apps are not just simple & appealing to users – they can also streamline the complex information security mandates within these organisations,” said Eric Schmidt, Chairman & CEO of Google.

Well, the fact is that battling with the top industry icons like Microsoft is what this Internet giant relishes the most. Now, with a more complete portfolio, Eric Schmidt is in the best position to announce a formal war against Steve Ballmer, a war that goes beyond polite remarks. Sure, we can’t say who will get buried in the bout. But are we allowed to take some bets?!

India figures high on Hilfigers’ list

The demand for branded garments is on a continuous rise. India figures high on Hilfigers’ listThis has recently instigated the Arvind Murjani Brands (which sells Tommy Hilfiger products in India) to augment the number of its exclusive stores by 11 within the next six months. Presently dealing with 9 exclusive outlets in 7 cities, they plan to take the number to 11 spanning across 9 cities by the end of December as revealed by Shailesh Chaturvedi, CEO, Tommy Hilfiger Apparel India. Hesitant to divulge investment plans in India, Chaturvedi hinted that it usually takes Rs.10-20 million to put up an exclusive store. The company has temporarily iced plans to reach the Tier-II & III cities since it would not make much business sense at present.

The war between humans and baboons began when the Dutch arrived on the Cape Peninsula in 1652

Amongst the troops in my area, where male baboons are targeted by humans, there appears to be a severe skew in the adult male/female ratio, a factor responsible for a negative ripple effect throughout all baboon society here as well as their relationship to their human neighbours.

The war between humans and baboons began when the Dutch arrived on the Cape Peninsula in 1652. Prior to this, the indigenous Khoisan people existed peacefully with their wild neighbours. They understood baboon language, learnt about medicinal plants from them and never killed them for food. In order to halt the destruction of our primate populations here, we need to revert back to harmonious co-existence with wildlife. Having lived in three different homes that were raided by baboons, I’ve come to understand that co-existence is possible, that tolerance and understanding is integral to constructive change. And the view that we are blessed to still live alongside our wild neighbours is important to understanding our human relationship to the rest of Nature from which we are separated.
