Today viewing of the “State of Black American” Conference in LA on CSPAN reminds me the power of Tavis Smiley. This is a show organized by him annually for last couple years.
The conference is more for the elites of the black community. They are talking heads that have no real action plan. The torrent of [...]
What is so big deal about twitter or text messaging on cell phone? Evan Williams is on a media tour now after he turned down the offer to buy them from Facebbok.
People like this because the teens like it or the real time feature of it makes thing different from the Blogging. They always [...]
I was reading the article by Allan Sloan, a senior editor for the fortune magazine, on “Scolding and helping Wall Street at the same time”.

What is so disappointing about the so-called NOVA science program on “Rat Attack” is there is a lack of scientific method shown at all. Everything is so low tech.

I was lucky to rail road into the option of resetting all the parameters in the Iphone and this helps restore the wireless connection to cell phone tower and the internet server of this ATT carrier.
I thought that the cold weather had damaged the electronic component that enables IPhone to connect to the internet server [...]
The Iphone is damaged by cold weather and can no longer connect to the Web. This is the negligence on the part of V when she was given the phone to manage the moving dot indicating the GPS is working on the phone. She was such an absent minded person. She can’t even remember that [...]
Well I had viewed the ex-Soviet spy Viktor Suvorov at Woodrow Wilson center. The talk was not impressive because of his English is not up to speed.
The only part that is impressive is the explanation of him why he had a chance of heart. This is a long narrative about his career and [...]
I was watching the Davos world conference last night. It is a forum for the rich and powerful only. This is reflects in the panelist on the forum.

Azar Nafisi, Vail Nasr, Hooman Majd are the Iranian writers on CR Show the other night. Nafisi was also appeared on NPR Minnesota public radio station talking about her book.
They were not very impressive while on CR Show. This is because they are not given a chance to express themselves on their favorite [...]
Robert Remini was not a forceful and straight forward historian as I thought. He refuses to get embroiled into any apparently partisan argument of whether one sitting president is a good one or a bed president according to his research and standards.
The TV program in this area of Henrico is very disappointed. The CSPAN [...]
The Möbius strip is a nontrivial bundle over the circle.
Trivial bundle
Let E = B × F and let π : E → B be the projection onto the first factor. Then E is a fiber bundle (of F) over B. Here E is not just locally a product but globally one. Any such fiber bundle [...]
Muhammad Yunus’s book “Creating a World without Poverty” is a very refreshing book.

Last night I come across a connection for the expression no one know how to handle the current finance situation, no one has a clue as what to do, people would keep throwing solution one after another until one of them stuck and the Chinese expression that we are crossing the river blind, touching the [...]
The new Israel parliament is a split and this is not good news for finding a “solution” for the regional conflict.
They are focus on the chance of getting a resolution with Syria. This is a fringe issue and that is something more or less toward finding a way of getting out of Iraq in [...]
The kind of comment that no one knows what should be done to handle the current banking toxic debt from the securitization of mortgages is a cop out. This is a way for avoid attacking the system one living in.
These commentators from the mainstream media would be discrete and also misleading in their use [...]
There is no such thing as the mission of a for profit organization. But the lofty goal of helping the humanity is just a smoke screen of these organizations. The “Mission and Money: understanding The University” by Burton Wiesbrod , et al is a book that only touch on the surface of the issue facing [...]

Well I finally get the OpenSSH to work. The application is known as Mobile Terminal. This is in cooperation with the WinSCP program on the PC side.
The terminal problem is on the Iphone. I first have to log into the terminal as super user with the password alpine. This could be changed later. [...]
The Charles Rose show has Nvidia CEO on as guest last night. Jen Hsun Huang is the name of the CEO. This is a public company.
He has so little verbal skill in articulating his vision of the company and what is the Holy Grail for his company and industry.
He is more an engineer than a [...]
What I have in mind after viewing so many session of interview on Charles Rose show?
The British writer on Russian history and characters Simon Montefiore was on the program last night. He failed to reveal anything interesting at all. This is simply because the host has no good questions to ask besides wanting to know [...]
Reading the article on NYT entitled “Our love affair with the Mall is on the rock” by David Segal makes me think. This is the reason people are talking about 70% of US economy is based on consumption.
This is why I see so many shopping strips in Richmond and its vicinities such as Henrico, [...]
