What do you think?
"The New York Post is standing behind a cartoon that some have interpreted as comparing President Barack Obama to a violent chimpanzee gunned down by police. The cartoon in Wednesday's Post by Sean Delonas shows two police officers standing over the body of a bullet-riddled chimp. One of the officers says the other, "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill."
Civil rights activist Al Sharpton called the cartoon "troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of African-Americans as being synonymous with monkeys."
But Sharpton said the Post should clarify the point it was trying to make with the cartoon, which was playing off Monday's rampage by a pet chimpanzee in Stamford, Conn., that left a woman severely mauled. Police ended up killing the chimp.
In a statement, Post Editor-in-Chief Col Allan said: "The cartoon is a clear parody of a current news event, to wit the shooting of a violent chimpanzee in Connecticut. It broadly mocks Washington's efforts to revive the economy. Again, Al Sharpton reveals himself as nothing more than a publicity opportunist."
A story about the cartoon on the liberal-leaning Huffington Post Web site drew hundreds of reader responses, many calling the cartoon racist and insensitive.
Sam Stein, a columnist for the site, wrote that "at its most benign, the cartoon suggests that the stimulus bill was so bad, monkeys may as well have written it. Most provocatively, it compares the president to a rabid chimp. Either way, the incorporation of violence and (on a darker level) race into politics is bound to be controversial."

New Balance uses crowdsourcing
After seeing the success of Charlene Li logo competition I noticed that crowdsourcing was becoming a new trend among businesses. The newly released book Crowdsourcing: Why The Power of The Crowd Is Driving The Future of Business by Jeff Howe is a very good resource for finding out more about this unique approach to getting things done by people who are qualified and passionate about doing something they are familiar with.
New Balance has jumped on the bandwagon and started a shoe design competition for anyone who thinks they can design a sneaker. The winner will design the 576 and 1700 models with only 600 pairs sold to select stores.
Check BOOKiDO for the book or New Balance sneakers.

Indian Farmers Demand More Mobile Phones
During a global economic crisis many industries are suffering with low sells and decreasing growth. Yet the mobile phone industry in India has grown to a record 11 million subscribers this year.
Economists say that India’s economic growth and stock market for this year are slowing down. But cellphone companies like Idea Cellular Ltd. are aggressively meeting the demands of rural Indians who on the average use their phones 8.5 hours a month, increasing 10% from last year. The increase of subscribers is making India the fastest growing mobile phone market in the world and there are little signs of it slowing down.
In rural villages, farmers use cell phones to find the latest market price on products like coconuts, rice, jasmine and buffalo milk just from a dial on the phone rather than catching a bus 50 miles into town. With cell phone towers available in the village, farmers can save time and energy while working in the fields.
The rapid demand for cellphones are from people who typically earn less than $1,000 a year. Many are part of the landless Indian population who are not affected by the declining city real estate prices or falling stocks. Since majority of them have little access to regular landline networks each time a wireless tower comes into the village a farmer buys their first cell phone for convenience as well as an investment.
India has a national penetration rate of less than 30%, proving there is still room for an untapped market in a country of over 1 billion people. In comparison to the U.S. where more than 80% of the population have mobile phones India is continuing to discover its digital communication networks in places where email and text messaging is nearly existing.
Will the farmers have a reverse affect on market prices once they are equipped with more mobile phones to help them become more efficient entrepreneurs?

Since Google and T Mobile officially released the G1 phone thousands of people waited to see what the search engine empire was developing with Android applications. The first phone to have google maps, gmail, Youtube, wikipedia, mobile banking and social network applications at the speed of a touch screen scroll. With a short battery life and no video recording capability the phone has its most useful times when searching the Internet and replying to emails.I took a few photos with the G1 listed above and here is what I captured with the 3 mega pixel camera phone.
