Happy New Year 2011!
For me 2010 was a successful year, personaly and professionally. I had a great year with my family with loads good memories to take. Professionally I started something different in the middle of the year went on well as planned. December was a great success and hope to continue this through 2011.
One of the real joys is the opportunity to say thank you for being a part of our lives and to wish you the very best for the New Year. May this New Year bring newly found prosperity, love, happiness and delight in your life.
May the dawning of presently New Year, fill your core amidst new hopes, open up new horizons and shoot for you promises of more capable tomorrows.
Happy New Year 2011!

Where do you go?
A while ago I was trying to write something on this blog and all of a sudden the computer went off as I have not recharged the battery. So I thought this time I would write on another subject.
This may be a common question we ask. The answer, interestingly how you mean it or if you meant anything. Here is about the work and answer may be rarely "the office" which is supposedly created for productivity. Here, we hear why (in effect, we go into the office to be interrupted! Or to be monitered by a distrustful management who have bought into an ideology of 'dstraction') ... and why the answer should reconfigure the way we work and the way that organisations resource their workforce. Most common answer these days may be 'a cafe'' as me. ... it turns out I'm not alone as most of you may be thinking something similar.
Few days back I went for a coffee with my bros and it wasn't planned for a idea generating session. But as we started talking on a subject, ideas started flowing and all of a sudden we got more than what we thought about it earlier.

Arsenal on fire!
It appeared that 14 years in North London had started to send him round the bend.
Having suffered a third loss at home this season, Wenger maintained this team did not need to sign a single player in January. Not a new goalkeeper, central defender, holding midfielder or striker. Not a single one. Those who saw the matches against West Brom, Newcastle, Spurs and the Champions League trips to Braga and Shakhtar found his comments bizarre.
So last night, Wenger will have watched over this destruction of one of his chief tormentors with unbelievable satisfaction.
Arsenal proved they are not merely a pretty team with a soft centre but a clever, maturing team. Cesc Fabregas, whose season has been interrupted with hamstring injuries, finally delivered a proper, world-class performance. Theo Walcott delivered one of his finest games in an Arsenal shirt while Jack Wilshere and Alex Song refused to be bullied at the base of the home team's midfield.
This is the title race no one really wants to win and while they're not exactly invincible, Arsenal proved they are serious contenders.
Arsenal have never been in better shape. Last night they proved they have the armoury to win the title. On the pitch, their big players - Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas - looked back in the groove and they had a powerful bench, including Chamakh, Diaby, Arshavin and Rosicky, with Vermaelen to return.

Your social media and blogs are Hyperpublic!
You might want to think that your online activity on Facebook is somewhat private as most of us may want to think. If you buy into the kind of privacy policy that says that by participating on social networking sites you have given up on privacy, then maybe you would say that your online activity is public.
Both of these characterizations are wrong. Your online activity is hyperpublic, it’s entirely novel, and right now you are the only one who can manage it effectively. But that will involve rethinking privacy and the nature of online spaces.
A recent article I read outlines a few of the ways that our privacy is being eroded online. The gist of the article is that even when you try to post anonymously, or try to remain silent about certain aspects of your life, say on Facebook or Twitter, you might be “outed” anyway. That’s because those freaks that use the tiny tidbits of information in your tweets, or on your friends’ blogs or Facebook pages, to predict things about you using their techniques. And they’re pretty good at it.
According to this they are pretty good at it predicting you and your lifestyle with 78% accuracy.
The idea that a person’s online activity is public carries a certain credibility. You post something on Facebook or tweet about something and many people see it. At first it might seem like shouting something out in a room filled with friends, or like joking about the politics in the country in a cafe', shouting about the state of the world.
At the same time you might think that your actions, despite being accessible to many people, are essentially private. You have selected your friends, and so have chosen to give that information only to particular individuals. Random computer scientists pointing their algorithms at your profile are violating your privacy, you might say.
It need not be this way, and ought not to be. Unless we start to understand exactly how public spaces differ from hyperpublic ones, we can expect to see more and more of the hyperpublic, and less of the public in our lives.
We would be wise to start thinking about how best to behave ourselves in a hyperpublic space, since it seems clear that though we may have misunderstood privacy, we have not yet given up on it.

Maldives Welcomes 750,000th visitor
Today Maldives welcomed 750,000th visitor to the country. This is the first time ever so much visitors have visited the country. This shows the country's tourism is growing after a year of negative growth with the effect of global economic crisis. Well I'm not sure about this as European markets are not fully recovered and huge chunk of the arrival represents growth of Chinese tourists to the country.
Intellectual Property Questions and Answers
Intellectual property (IP) refers to the legal rights that protect creative works and ideas. It includes patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. For many people, navigating the world of IP can be confusing and overwhelming. In this blog post, we will explore some of the most common intellectual property questions and provide answers to help you better understand this complex area of law.
What is a patent, and how does it work?
A patent is a legal document that gives an inventor the exclusive right to make, use, and sell their invention for a certain period of time. This allows the inventor to profit from their creation and prevents others from using or selling the same invention without permission. In order to obtain a patent, the invention must be new, useful, and non-obvious. The patent application process can be lengthy and complicated, but the protection provided by a patent can be extremely valuable.
What is a trademark, and why is it important?
A trademark is a symbol, word, or phrase that identifies and distinguishes a particular product or service from those of others. A trademark can be a name, logo, or slogan. Registering a trademark gives the owner exclusive rights to use that mark in connection with their goods or services. This helps to prevent others from using a similar mark and confusing consumers. A strong trademark can be a valuable asset for a business, as it can help to build brand recognition and loyalty.
What is copyright, and what does it protect?
Copyright is a legal right that protects original works of authorship, such as books, music, art, and software. Copyright gives the owner the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, and display their work, as well as to create derivative works. Copyright protection is automatic and begins as soon as a work is created. However, registering a copyright can provide additional protection and benefits, such as the ability to sue for infringement and the presumption of ownership.
What is a trade secret, and how is it protected?
A trade secret is confidential information that provides a business with a competitive advantage, such as a secret formula or customer list. Trade secrets are protected by law as long as they are kept confidential. This means that a business must take steps to ensure that the information is kept secret, such as by using non-disclosure agreements and limiting access to the information. If a trade secret is disclosed or misappropriated, the business can take legal action to protect their rights.
How can I protect my intellectual property?
The best way to protect your intellectual property is to obtain legal protection through patents, trademarks, copyrights, or trade secrets. This requires careful planning and strategy, as well as an understanding of the legal requirements and procedures. It is also important to monitor your intellectual property for infringement and take action to enforce your rights if necessary.
Conclusion
Intellectual property is a complex area of law, but it is essential for protecting creative works and ideas. Whether you are an inventor, business owner, or creative professional, understanding the basics of IP can help you to protect your rights and maximize the value of your intellectual property. By knowing the answers to these common intellectual property questions, you can take the first step towards securing your rights and protecting your assets.
