Do you remember the Aesop’s Fable about the Fox and the Grapes?

A FAMISHED FOX saw some clusters of ripe black grapes hanging from a trellised vine. She resorted to all her tricks to get at them, but wearied herself in vain, for she could not reach them. At last she turned away, hiding her disappointment and saying: “The Grapes are sour, and not ripe as I thought.” (1)

The above is a fable about persistence. Might the outcome have been different if the Fox has been more persistent? One would never know. See how easy it was for the Fox to despise what seemed unattainable.

Pfizer has decided to withdraw its novel inhaled insulin, Exubera..not because of safety problems…not beacuse of negative response from patients but because ‘too few patients are taking EXUBERA’ (1)

How could this be? Diabetic patients have been crying for a less painful way of administering insulin for years..Here is a product that requires no injection but prescibers are not using it.

Google controls search, it controls video through YouTube and it now controls news! We run a Technology and Science News feed on our website and gosh!.. All four news items were about Google….Blinkx challenges Google in video ad arena…Google rules internet search world: com Score study…Google buys Finish startup Jaiku….Gooogle launches video ad program using YouTube (see below)

Is there no end to Google’s talents? Most people are talking about Google…we should all now start speaking googledygook: I will define this as a language (usually unintelligible) spoken by someone trying to cram a lot of the word ‘google’ into a statement - maybe to show some affection for the technology behemoth or to loath it or even just to brag to colleagues or whoever cares to listen about how smart you are (or think)! Google polarizes opinions: You either love or hate it…Like the famous Marmite adverts.

Check out this example of googledygook:

‘We are now developing a Google-like video ad solution to challenge YouTube. Our solution will defeat Google’s dominance in search which will generate a lot of ad revenue for our shareholders, who have sworn an oath never to allow a Google buy in!’

Well I managed to squeeze in 3 Googles into the above statement…I wonder if you could do better…I am no expert in googledygook..

So the government will ban smoking in enclosed public places and workplaces in England from the 1st of July 2007 (1) …big deal! Why alienate decent law abiding citizens for the nebulous goals of reducing smoking in adults from 28% in 1996 to less than 24% by 2010; or reducing smoking in pregnant women from 23% in 1996 to 15% or less by 2010; or reducing smoking in children from 13% in 1996 to 9% or less by 2010.
