From iPhone

Today we had the first session of Information Systems class and during the lecture we had a small discussion about Apple-Innovation-iPhone being launched today.Last month there was a speculation that Apple would not be able to launch iPhone because Comcave(canadian company) has been using the name ‘iPhone’ for the last couple of years or so… Finally the wait is over and the iPhone is out …

iPhone = Widescreen ipod with touch controls +New Mobile Phone + Internet Mobile Communicator(WiFi & Bluetooth 2.0) = $599.00 and also name change

Apple Computer Inc., No Wonder iPhone is slick,chic but a very strong response to the Microsoft’s Zune.iPhone features are far more and more better than Zune..

“I’ve had the privilege of joining the board and there’s a lot of relationships… if we merge the companies we can call it Applegoo — but I’m not a marketing guy. You can actually merge without merging. Each company should do the absolutely best thing they can do every time, and he’s shown it today.” Eric Schmidt,Google during iPhone Launch

“Thank you Steve. I’m not a board member of Apple, but I’d love to have one of these too. We’re really proud of Yahoo to be partnering with Apple. One of the things we’re going to be doing is launching some of our new services , Yahoo Go and One Search on this phone. Mail is a killer app on the phone, Yahoo is trying to redesign the web and email experience on mobile devices. The best spam protection, address books, and calendar when you’re on yahoo — It’s like BlackBerry without an Exchange Server.”Jerry Yang,Yahoo

Now I cant wait to get hands on it…but…

Nardelli arrived at Home Depot after losing out in 2000 in a three-way race to succeed GE’s legendary Jack Welch. Despite that setback, Nardelli was anointed one of Corporate America’s most talented executives, and Home Depot seemed to have scored a big victory by snaring him. Almost immediately, he embarked on an aggressive plan to centralize control of the nation’s second-largest retailer after Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT ). He invested more than $1billion in new technology, such as self-checkout aisles and inventory management systems that generated reams of data. He declared that he wanted to measure virtually everything that happened at the company and hold executives strictly accountable for meeting their numbers. All this was new at a relatively laid-back organization known for the independence of its store managers and the folksy, entrepreneurial style of retired co-founders Bernard Marcus and Arthur M. Blank. One of Nardelli’s favorite sayings is: "Facts are friendly." He seemed less concerned about people being friendly. Some saw this as a strength. "This guy is maniacal about goals, objectivity, accomplishments within the boundaries of the values of the company," Kenneth G. Langone, the third co-founder of Home Depot, a member of its board of directors, and a strong Nardelli ally, said in a 2004 interview.

Corporate America hasn’t seen the last of Bob Nardelli, however. According to people familiar with the situation, while store workers were celebrating, the former CEO was already fielding calls from private equity firms interested in his formidable operational talents. The bright side for Nardelli in the world of privately owned corporations, of course, is that he won’t have to deal with any annual meetings or shareholder questions.

Kumbh Mela

The largest human gathering ever has been photographed from space by a high resolution imaging satellite.

Over 70 million people are expected to attend a Hindu spiritual event in northern India called the Maha Kumbh Mela. The pilgrims gather at a sacred location on the Ganges River, 15 kilometres from Allahabad, for more than a month of bathing rituals. The activities are intended to wash away their sins and hasten the Hindu people’s progress toward nirvana.

The one-metre resolution image was collected by Space Imaging’s IKONOS satellite, travelling at over 6 kilometres per second, 677 kilometres above the Earth. It shows red-robed bathers at the confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna and mythical Saraswati rivers.

Wishing all the readers  a very happy and prosperous NEW YEAR.

Have Fun and Enjoy the life..!!!
