Or “let go”, any other term you would like.
The sentences “reducing OPEX” and “I am afraid we have to let you go” are very different, though mean the same.
Looking forward as I have to decide if I want to move to Japan or not… a major decision!
Danger + Opportunity = Crisis
The Japanese Kanji depicting Crisis is made of two characters: Danger + Opportunity.
I have decided to use google trends and see which word is more popular. Turns out that Crisis is by far more popular than opportunity.
It seems people are more focused around the problems and dangers, not the opportunities … not really surprising.
Youtube Jukebox
Had an idea of implementing Youtube Jukebox using Youtube API. The idea is quite simple, based on a tag or a search word, the application will build a playlist and play it.
Alas, someone already implemented it… back to thinking of new innovative ideas.

Elon More Tours
Elon More is a settlement in the west bank, for more info you may refer to Peace Now website.
While driving yesterday to work, I have noticed a car which has the sign “Elon More Tours” on it, but it looks more like a Brinks secured car.
Do you want to take a trip in this secured car, and look out from these tiny windows?
Japan signs Security pact with India
Couldn’t find many news sites discuss this treaty, but I find it quite intriguing.
It involves not only a Japanese loan to the India government (Why does India need Japanese money?), but also Nuclear cooperation.
Interesting!!!
Google suggest
I found out that Google Suggest was written in Israel.
A very good tool! Kudos.

Orkut Outage
Will attend Google developers forum on Sunday. I followed the instructions they provided and registered to Orkut.
But, the server is not working. A very bad user experience.
