I am using several free e-mail services, mainly for reasons of insufficient quotas. But for more then 7 years, my primary e-mail address hasn't changed.It is a free service hosted by a local telco provider, with only 100 MB quota and relatively poor spam protection. I have maintained it simply because a huge number of my contacts and registrations on different sites on the Internet is bound to this address. It is like maintaining a mobile phone number on an expensive mobile telephony provider simply because it is the number that everyone knows. Yesterday i received a memo by the telco provider, that it will go through a rebranding process. This rebranding process will include the change of the domain name of the free e-mail service.

A major challenge for marketing-oriented companies as they respond to the rapidly changing marketplace is to engage continuously in market-oriented strategic planning. They must learn how to develop and maintain a viable fit among their objectives, resources, skills, and opportunities.Corporate strategic planning involves four planning activities. 1.

Identify the company's strategic business units (SBUs). 3. Allocate resources to the various SBUs based on their market attractiveness and business strength. 4.

Reagan’s speech instilled a sense of nationalistic pride and healthy patriotism that, apart form a temporary surge following the September 2001 attacks, has been faltering since. His words engendered hope and belief in a way that crossed party lines; he made Americans feel, American.This past week saw the silver anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s “Star Wars” speech pass without as much as a whisper. I found this mildly surprising in light of the $120 billion already spent and given that the White House has a current request, for a further $12 billion for 2009. The development of a ballistic missile shield remains a contentious and expensive task even after 25 years.I will refrain from lending to the pro and against arguments for continued research and testing in relation to the SDI pro

Risk management is a relatively new and evolving field. Risk management usually refers to the process of identifying, measuring, controlling, and minimizing uncertainties which may directly or indirectly affect a desired outcome of a system. A great challenge indeed.Any process or procedure we can think of holds many uncertainties. Risk management tries to identify these uncertainties, assign probabilities and possible harm to each and every one and acts to minimize those risks.One of the most counter intuitive questions in risk management basics is: What is the difference between risk and uncertainty? There are actually many differences; some are of the utmost importance to every organization and every manager.When every possible option and outcome is known a decision is said to be taken under certainty. Many academic models assume certainty due to their basic function of explaining and prediction. These are also the standards most models are judged by. The recent retreat from certain

Heart throb for the over 60s gives us his Harrison Ford PoutBefore Ms Fiona " I have family connections" Godlee, Richard Smith ran the British Medical Journal with an incredible amount of sassy style. Clad in his grubby leather jacket, Richard Smith kicked some ass in the medical profession. Since his departure and that of his colleague Kamran Abassi, we have been force-fed feminist issues by Godlee and her team. Doctors have continued to throw the BMJ in the bin and opted for the better Hospital Doctor. Anyway, Richard has appeared again to criticise everyone. He is though very right. He tells the profession to basically get its act together and stop squabbling between themselves. The article can be read here. "Dr Richard Smith called for wholesale reform of the bodies that represent doctors in the wake of the failures in doctor training systems. A report by Sir John Tooke in to Modernising Medical Careers and the Medical Training Application Service (MTAS) found a string of failures

I know that something is quite fishy with that larger than life PAC visit to Port Klang Free Zone yesterday.I have voiced it in one of my posts earlier today. I’m pretty glad that MalaysiaKini even suspected it as much in one of their postings today. I’m also pretty glad that Malaysians are not that easily fooled nowadays. :-)We have so many impacting issues plaguing the nation recently:The Pantai Batu Buruk incidentThe Lingam Tape video sagaThe pathetic decline of Press Freedom in Malaysia as indicated by Reporters Without Borders Dot Org’s Press Freedom Index 2007 andThe astonishing law suit won by an ex ISA detainee against the world’s greatest government!All those significant events are giving bad PR for Barisan Nasional. Most of my foreign friends said that Malaysia is getting pretty ridiculous by the minute. Just imagine; our own country is giving shame to its very citizens! Much of it can be blamed upon Barisan Nasional though.Barisan Nasional is desperately looking for

Folks!I’m sure you noticed that both MalaysiaKini and StarOnline had juicy stories on Port Klang Free Zone yesterday. Well, not exactly juicy since we all ready knew that the multi billion dollar project is having lots of critical problems at the moment.There is nothing new really except for the fact that the Public Accounts Committee is now expecting to hear the final word from the Port Klang Authority and Port Klang Fee Zone on the final cost of the project which reportedly has ballooned to extraordinary proportions.I find it weird. Why all of a sudden we have this Port Klang Free Zone story back into the spotlight?I’m not buying it folks.I got this feeling that the powers that be have just created a clever strategic diversion to divert the Malaysian public’s attention from more pressing issues such as the Lingam Tape saga.No thanks, Barisan Nasional. I would stick with the Lingam Tape saga for the time being. If we can find out what is really going on behind the Lingam Tape sa

The issue of whether SaaS is truly a core disruptive technology and business services phenomenon is no longer in doubt. SaaS is now a basic fact of life in IT and in business. Already, SaaS has moved from simple to sophisticated – and from a departmental adjunct, to becoming a fundamental part of business and IT infrastructure & operations. SOA, Open Source, Collaboration, Mobility, Mash-ups and Web 2.0 are now converging on SaaS platforms, providing rich, configurable applications and business value. While the pace of growth and change has been fast, longer-term success with SaaS will require that both users and vendors rethink how business software deployment strategies and architectures will evolve so as to fully understand the impacts of this new delivery and licensing approach. This is one of the important conclusions of Saugatuck Technology’s research report published earlier this year, “Three Waves of Change: SaaS Beyond the Tipping Point”. Saugatuck Technology, a

The Directors of Gulfsands Petroleum plc establishes an important strategic partnership with Cham Holding, which is well recognized as one of Syria's most important business groups. The strategic partnership is to be established in the form of a venture company owned 65% by Cham Holding and 35% by Gulfsands (the "Strategic Partnership") with each party responsible for only their proportionate share of funding. The intention of the Strategic Partnership will be to pursue the acquisition of several high-value energy projects in Syria and potentially Iraq (the "Projects"). The directors of Gulfsands and Cham Holding have been working together for some time in pursuing the acquisition of interests in the Projects and matters have now reached a stage where it was considered appropriate to formally establish the Strategic Partnership in order to be in a position to participate in any potential Project through the Strategic Partnership. In addition to its minority position in the Strategi
