I-Man: IBM Ad

Have you seen IBM’s “Innovation Man” commercial? I think it’s really sarcastic and for those of you who haven’t seen it, I’ll try to capture it’s essence…
Scene: Outside an office building, female business professional walking out comes across a geek-cum-nerd middle-aged guy in a superhero outfit (SupperPhunny) with a large “I” across his chest.
Says she: “So what does the “I” stands for?”
He proclaims:
………………………………………………..”Innovation”
………………………………………………..”Ideation”
………………………………………………..”Imagination” ... dum dum.
She asks: Implementation??
He:
………………………………………………..”Darn! I knew I forgot something!”

SupperPhunny. And the lady drool-maal :)

Well the ad quite catches the essence of doing business in IT. Last I of utmost importance.

Champions League

With the semi-final berths of Champions League almost booked, i came up with a conclusion which contradicts my earlier one. I perceived European league football as a good example of Globalisation. With various players from all the world playing for so many leagues across Europe, i saw an equal weight distribution among various teams. There was a sense of healthy competition between various teams.
Consecutively for second year 3 English teams have qualified in semi-finals. And in the near future i don't see their dominance decreasing, if not increasing!. But the irony is, English national team is scaling plunges. Recently being ousted from Euro Cup by a meager Croatia in its own den they don't have much to show for. Apart, from the fact that they can spend a lot of money on overseas players nothing to show for. Gerrard too made a point that local talent is not starting in major English teams. That's concerning!.
So the point i am making is: I am just pissed of watching all these English teams reaching the Semis...
IMAO: Give some money to different clubs too!!!
Moreover it's going to be repeat of previous year. Barca all the way... hurray!!
