Recently the web was a buzz with the news of Microsoft’s giant 46.6 million US dollars bid for Yahoo. HAHA, that would mean they would own flickr.. haha, these people invented MS-Paint, what do you think would have happened ? Besides, what would they name it? MS-Flickr ? Bull shit !

So Yahoo actually rejected the offer, an unsolicited open ‘get rich quick’ kind of offer, but in all my honest opinion, they did good.

Microsoft’s attempt was to compete Google Inc. but in doing so, I m pretty sure they would’ve done much damage to the already damaged Yahoo, Yahoo is now considering Google.. WOW !

Any how, what I read now is even ironic, Yahoo’s shareholders are suing yahoo for not being sold haha !

Geek life track is a random WOW !

I was happily shopping for some sneakers in the market with H-N in Saddar, when suddenly out of no where comes a man and tells the shop keeper ‘Do you know anything about the Marshal law?’ before the shop keeper even said a word I asked him ‘What marshal law ? where?’, ‘In Pakistan janab, Pakistan is back in trouble’, thats what he said !

My first impression was that either this guy is an idiot for no reason, or there are some stupid rumors going around, as soon as I reach home, my mom tells me the same thing, now this gets me a little curious, TV ain’t working.damn !

I go online, and since H-N is with me, he looks a little online and searches for some clues (he was much more concerned, he has gigs lined up !), so any how, Yes Pakistan has Marshal law, yet again ! I hope this goes away soon, and we come out of this emergency situation, this basically sucks !

I’ve never really cared much about politics, and I’ve never been on either sides of Bush-Mush bashing ! But such happening did raise my eyebrow ! I m not a supporter of any political group, nor do I enjoy political talks, but this my friends is just too much !

Please let us live normal lives, and it’s a call from one idiot Pakistani to not only the president, but to all the people, who make world a bad place to live ! ‘Live and let live !’ God bless this world, and the people of this world ! Ameen.

Excerpt from Dawn news :

ISLAMABAD, Nov 3: President General Pervez Musharraf, in his capacity as the chief of army staff, on Saturday declared emergency rule in the country, suspended the country’s constitution, and issued a new Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO).

---

This is the second time in General Musharraf’s tenure that an emergency rule has been imposed, and PCO issued. First it was at the time when the military seized power on October 12, 1999. This time it was when President Musharraf had already ruled the country for eight long years, and was faced with a situation where there was a strong possibility that the Supreme Court may rule against his move to get himself elected for the second time as the head of the state.

Excerpt from The News (Message from Pentagon) :

WASHINGTON: The Pentagon said Gen. Pervez Musharraf’s declaration of state of emergency in Pakistan does not affect U.S. military support, a spokesman said.

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates is monitoring the fast-developing situation, Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said.

Oh God, please save Pakistan, from the evils of this world !

Update : I just got to hear a bit of his address, makes much more sense than I thought it would !
