So, I am nothing compared to Mark Cuban.  I don't have billions of dollars (not even millions), a protfolio of successful businesses and investments, a bid on Yahoo's board or a professional sports team.  Last year, I read his post that Internet Is Dead and Boring and I couldn't believe that a guy who made his billions from internet is saying that.  Recently, I learned that he is on Carl Icahn's slate for Yahoo's board, the same Yahoo to whom Mr. Cuban sold his company.  But what is rather interesting is that on Feb 10th, he added  another post to his blog defending his "Internet is Dead and Boring comment".  While defending this comment he made an additional comment "Further arguments can be made that the MSFT YHOO potential merger is further evidence that the technology industry is maturing." 
No disrespect, but I guess the technology industry for Mark Cuban may have matured on the day he sold his startup to Yahoo.  
If the technology industry has matured then  "Why is he even interested in joining the board of a technology company?".   Shouldn't we all be involved in the activities which have some future?

HP will be buying EDS for $13 Billion to start competing directly with IBM.  I think this year there will be several mergers and acquisitions in the Global Services space.  As a matter of fact, it has been long overdue.  I expect some of the Indian companies to be swallowed as well.  But most notably, I am expecting Dell and EMC to merge.   Call me crazy!!

While browsing the web today, I came across an interesting story on King 5.  Apparently, a Seattle man got sued by a merchant in North Carolina for giving him neutral feedback instead of positive.   Now should their be a bill in the Senate to have special Social media laws? Else, I can get sued here for putting things like why Company A's acquisition of Company B doesn't make sense.  After all my statement or  geniuses can influence Company A. ;) 

India Times today reported that the researchers at the University of Glasgow in the UK claim that they can expel complications in touch-screen phones by using actuators like the ones used in cell phones to give a feeling of a keyboard.  Accoridng to the research the technologies such as VibeTonz from silicon valley based Immersion can help users reduce errors while typing or using the phone.

According to The American Journal of Psychiatry, internet addiction appears to be a common disorder that merits inclusion in DSM-V. Conceptually, the diagnosis is a compulsive-impulsive spectrum disorder that involves online and/or offline computer usage and consists of at least three subtypes: excessive gaming, sexual preoccupations, and e-mail/text messaging.  Do I have this disorder?  Do you?  just wondering
