30 reasons to be Vegetarian - PETA

Amazing video by PETA. Video courtesy : www.goveg.com

Posting on blog, because I want to have this video for a very long time.

Are you a vegetarian? answer in the comments below

Apple without Steve Jobs

Think of Mjölnir without Thor. Mjölnir was nothing without Thor, nobody could even move it. Now, put Steve Jobs in place of Thor & Apple in place of Mjölnir, & nothing else changes. That is the level of seriousness we are talking about.

Of course, everyone has to leave someday, so did Steve. Louis-François Cartier & later his grandchildren died, Cartier brand dwindled but was later revived. Something like that might happen with Apple, but Apple operates in the tehnology industry, where what is today a revolution is tomorrow a dead age-old product. Technology world especially gadgets change very very frequently & even though I agree that Apple has a lot of talented employees, I don't think anyone can really replace Steve Jobs & his innovative ideas.

Fact : Since Bill gates has retired, except for the Microsoft Skype Takeover, Microsoft has done nothing that attracted the people, it has been stagnant! & even in the Skype deal, Bill Gates advocated the deal! More on that at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13434352

So, even though Tim Cook might be a great leader & innovator in his right, he has a daunting task to carry on the legacy of Steve Jobs & deliver on the high expectations of investors, stakeholders & fans/consumers of Apple.


Do you think Apple can continue or will it become stagnant?

P.S. : This is my second post on Steve Jobs leaving Apple, the first one is at http://blog.jewelove.in/2011/08/steve-jobs-apple-jewelove.html

Human Interference or Extinction by Natural Selection

What set me thinking & reference for data : BBC Documentary

What I'm thinking is a bit strange & many may find the idea(s) weird too, but its an exploration into "What If?"

I Love Science & Technology, but what if?

The FACTS & ASSUMPTIONS
These are basic facts, if you know them, move to The IDEA!

• Fact : Almost 27,000 species of plants & animals are wiped out of existence eveyr year! Primary reason : Human activities.
• Fact : By mid 1970's 50% of the virgin rainforests were destroyed. Primary reason : Deforestation by Humans
• Fact : CO2 concentrations in air have increased by almost 40% in the last 250 years. They have crossed a limit in the last 250 years that they never crossed in the past 800,000 years! Primary reason : Industrialization of the Earth by Humans!
• Fact : Ozone Layer is depleting at a rate of about 4% every decade, way too fast! Reason : Emission of CFCs & excess Nitrous compounds which cannot be regulated by Nature's existing mechanisms.
• There are a lot of other facts & assumptions that can be set out. By the way, the assumption in the above points is that Human/Human activities are the primary reason of this all.
  

The Idea

Now, what I am thinking right now is

• What If all this is not the wrongdoing of Man (not wanting to be a sexist, let's say) Humans, but that is how evolution works when Mass Extinction is required or desirable by Nature & its mechanisms?
• What If when a species starts dominating the Earth, or Mass Extinction is desirable by Nature (for whatever reason, some discussed below), Nature "makes" the dominant specie lose control & initiate mass extinction?

Possible Reasons for Nature "wanting" this
Pure Science Fiction here, feel free to chip in!

• Dominant specie(s) are breaking the Natural Cycle. For instance, in case of human civilization, advancement of medical sciences, ability to travel across the oceans, overcoming the need for migration etc.
• Nature thinks it might be a good idea to let them dominate, then changed its nature or as we humans call it, changed its mind.
• Nature wants to bring about a drastic change in the Life & Species & needs a medium to do that. Historical examples, extinction of the HUGE & Mighty dinosaurs & reducing their heirs to the size of snakes & lizards.
• Nature determines a change in the planet-wide conditions is required without the influence of external forces likes an asteroid/meteorite strike, solar flares etc. which can lead to other changes undesirable by Nature.
• Nature just got bored of the dominant species & wants a change.
  

This is primarily a creation of my mind & imagination & so in the blog, "Into the Mind!"
