GE & G(oogl)E - holy matrimony

What do GE and Google have in common - while one is the biggest company in the world with their hands into everything we touch, the other is the dominant internet giant who touches our lives everyday.

Business reasons can create strange matrimonies and bedmates. The two monoliths have  not worked in the past together and  have parallely different work cultures, this new partnership could just about change the way we deal with energy in the future.

Ge's announcement on this new partnership comes in the wake of its stock plunging to its 5 year lows on the back of the financial meltdown with its financing arm GE Money and its Real estate businesses.

Pundits have predicted Google to buy over Amazon and New York times in the new future, can it be possible that David (Google) can take over GE in the future.

Oil, Gaaru and Obama

GAARU BANK OF INDIA

Ever since Mamata raised the red flag at Singur, i guess the punters around the world got a hint that the demand for fuel is to go down on account of a delay in the NANO launch. The entire world including India was gearing up to drive this $2500 car (wonder if that drove up the fuel prices in the first instance).
If TATA decides (GOD forbid) to scrap this project, i guess, the crude oil will further slip well below the $80 mark.......

MCCain to get Osama
In a press release, MC Cain has said that he knows what it takes to get Osama, which his two predecessors couldn't.
After creating quite a flur, with this statement, a press release was issued in which the media said the word Obama was misspelled as Osama......
