				<img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbestofmails.com%2Finnovative%2Fmathematical-proof%2F&amp;style=normal&amp;b=2" height="61" width="50" /><br />
			</a>
		</div>
<p>Equation 1</p>
<p>Human = eat + sleep + work + enjoy<br />Donkey = eat + sleep<br />Therefore:<br />Human = Donkey + Work + enjoy<br />Therefore:<br />Human-enjoy = Donkey + Work<br />In other words,<br />Human that don&#8217;t know enjoy = Donkey that work.</p>
<p><span id="more-2877"></span></p>
<p>++++++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ ++ ++</p>
<p>Equation 2</p>
<p>Men = eat + sleep + earn money<br />Donkey = eat + sleep<br />Therefore:<br />Men = Donkry + earn money<br />Therefore:<br />Men-earn money = Donkey<br />In other words<br />Men who d&#8217;nt earn mony = Donkey</p>
<p>++++++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +</p>
<p>Equation 3</p>
<p>Women= eat + sleep + spend<br />Donkey = eat + sleep<br />Therefore:<br />Women = Donkey + spend<br />Women &#8211; spend = Donkey<br />In other words,<br />Women who don&#8217;t spend = Donkey</p>
<p>++++++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +</p>
<p>To Conclude:</p>
<p>From Equation 2 and Equation 3<br />Men who don&#8217;t earn money = Women who don&#8217;t spend<br />So Men earn money not to let women become donkey!<br />And women spend not to let men become donkey!<br />So, We have:<br />Men + Women = Donkey + earn money + Donkey + Spend money<br />Therefore from postulates 1 and 2, we can conclude<br />Men + Women = 2 Donkeys that live happily together!</p>

<p>A different way to display time on the green time line.. This is a really interesting clock! It comes from a Dutch web site. Here is what you will see when you look at this clock.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t do anything. It&#8217;s automatically adjusted to your time zone. Just look at it and study it. It gives you the EXACT TIME of the DAY in seconds, minutes, hours, the day, month and year.</p>
<p><span id="more-2791"></span></p>
<p>Just read the green line.</p>
<p>1st Line is Seconds</p>
<p>2nd Line is Minutes</p>
<p>3rd line is Hours.</p>
<p>4th Line is Days</p>
<p>5th Line is Months</p>
<p>6th Line is Years</p>
<p>This is the COOLEST clock I have seen yet!!</p>

<p>Interesting perspective:</p>
<p>&#8220;Have Breakfast… or…Be Breakfast!&#8221;  - By Y. L. R. MOORTHI<br />Who sells the largest number of cameras in India?<br />Your guess is likely to be Sony, Canon or Nikon. Answer is none of the<br />above. The winner is Nokia whose main line of business in India is not<br />cameras but cell phones.<br />Reason being cameras bundled with cellphones are outselling stand<br />alone cameras. Now, what prevents the cellphone from replacing the<br />camera outright? Nothing at all. One can only hope the Sonys and<br />Canons are taking note.</p>
<p><span id="more-2740"></span></p>
<p>Try this. Who is the biggest in music business in India? You think it<br />is HMV Sa-Re-Ga-Ma? Sorry. The answer is Airtel. By selling caller<br />tunes (that play for 30 seconds) Airtel makes more than what music<br />companies make by selling music albums (that run for hours).<br />Incidentally Airtel is not in music business. It is the mobile service<br />provider with the largest subscriber base in India. That sort of<br />competitor is difficult to detect, even more difficult to beat (by the<br />time you have identified him he has already gone past you). But if you<br />imagine that Nokia and Bharti (Airtel&#8217;s parent) are breathing easy you<br />can&#8217;t be farther from truth.<br />Nokia confessed that they all but missed the smartphone bus. They<br />admit that Apple&#8217;s Iphone and Google&#8217;s Android can make life difficult<br />in future. But you never thought Google was a mobile company, did you?<br />If these illustrations mean anything, there is a bigger game<br />unfolding. It is not so much about mobile or music or camera or<br />emails?<br />The &#8220;Mahabharat&#8221; (the great Indian epic battle) is about &#8220;what is<br />tomorrow&#8217;s personal digital device&#8221;? Will it be a souped up mobile or<br />a palmtop with a telephone? All these are little wars that add up to<br />that big battle. Hiding behind all these wars is a gem of a question –<br />&#8220;who is my competitor?&#8221;<br />Once in a while, to intrigue my students I toss a question at them. It<br />says &#8220;What Apple did to Sony, Sony did to Kodak, explain?&#8221; The smart<br />ones get the answer almost immediately. Sony defined its market as<br />audio (music from the walkman). They never expected an IT company like<br />Apple to encroach into their audio domain. Come to think of it, is it<br />really surprising? Apple as a computer maker has both audio and video<br />capabilities. So what made Sony think he won&#8217;t compete on pure audio?<br />&#8220;Elementary Watson&#8221;. So also Kodak defined its business as film<br />cameras, Sony defines its businesses as &#8220;digital.&#8221;<br />In digital camera the two markets perfectly meshed. Kodak was torn<br />between going digital and sacrificing money on camera film or staying<br />with films and getting left behind in digital technology. Left<br />undecided it lost in both. It had to. It did not ask the question &#8220;who<br />is my competitor for tomorrow?&#8221; The same was true for IBM whose<br />mainframe revenue prevented it from seeing the PC. The same was true<br />of Bill Gates who declared &#8220;internet is a fad!&#8221; and then turned around<br />to bundle the browser with windows to bury Netscape. The point is not<br />who is today&#8217;s competitor. Today&#8217;s competitor is obvious. Tomorrow&#8217;s<br />is not.<br />In 2008, who was the toughest competitor to British Airways in India?<br />Singapore airlines? Better still, Indian airlines? Maybe, but there<br />are better answers. There are competitors that can hurt all these<br />airlines and others not mentioned. The answer is videoconferencing and<br />telepresence services of HP and Cisco. Travel dropped due to<br />recession. Senior IT executives in India and abroad were compelled by<br />their head quarters to use videoconferencing to shrink travel budget.<br />So much so, that the mad scramble for American visas from Indian<br />techies was nowhere in sight in 2008. (India has a quota of something<br />like 65,000 visas to the U.S. They were going a-begging. Blame it on<br />recession!). So far so good. But to think that the airlines will be<br />back in business post recession is something I would not bet on. In<br />short term yes. In long term a resounding no. Remember, if there is<br />one place where Newton&#8217;s law of gravity is applicable besides physics<br />it is in electronic hardware. Between 1977 and 1991 the prices of the<br />now dead VCR (parent of Blue-Ray disc player) crashed to one-third of<br />its original level in India. PC&#8217;s price dropped from hundreds of<br />thousands of rupees to tens of thousands. If this trend repeats then<br />telepresence prices will also crash. Imagine the fate of airlines<br />then. As it is not many are making money. Then it will surely be RIP!<br />India has two passions. Films and cricket. The two markets were<br />distinctly different. So were the icons. The cricket gods were Sachin<br />and Sehwag. The filmi gods were the Khans (Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan<br />and the other Khans who followed suit). That was, when cricket was<br />fundamentally test cricket or at best 50 over cricket. Then came IPL<br />and the two markets collapsed into one. IPL brought cricket down to 20<br />overs. Suddenly an IPL match was reduced to the length of a 3 hour<br />movie. Cricket became film&#8217;s competitor. On the eve of IPL matches<br />movie halls ran empty. Desperate multiplex owners requisitioned the<br />rights for screening IPL matches at movie halls to hang on to the<br />audience. If IPL were to become the mainstay of cricket, as it is<br />likely to be, films have to sequence their releases so as not clash<br />with IPL matches. As far as the audience is concerned both are what in<br />India are called 3 hour &#8220;tamasha&#8221; (entertainment). Cricket season<br />might push films out of the market.<br />Look at the products that vanished from India in the last 20 years.<br />When did you last see a black and white movie? When did you last use a<br />fountain pen? When did you last type on a typewriter? The answer for<br />all the above is &#8220;I don&#8217;t remember!&#8221; For some time there was a mild<br />substitute for the typewriter called electronic typewriter that had<br />limited memory. Then came the computer and mowed them all. Today most<br />technologically challenged guys like me use the computer as an<br />upgraded typewriter. Typewriters per se are nowhere to be seen.<br />One last illustration. 20 years back what were Indians using to wake<br />them up in the morning? The answer is &#8220;alarm clock.&#8221; The alarm clock<br />was a monster made of mechanical springs. It had to be physically<br />keyed every day to keep it running. It made so much noise by way of<br />alarm, that it woke you up and the rest of the colony. Then came<br />quartz clocks which were sleeker. They were much more gentle though<br />still quaintly called &#8220;alarms.&#8221; What do we use today for waking up in<br />the morning? Cellphone! An entire industry of clocks disappeared<br />without warning thanks to cell phones. Big watch companies like Titan<br />were the losers. You never know in which bush your competitor is<br />hiding!<br />On a lighter vein, who are the competitors for authors? Joke spewing<br />machines? (Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple, himself a Pole,<br />tagged a Polish joke telling machine to a telephone much to the mirth<br />of Silicon Valley). Or will the competition be story telling robots?<br />Future is scary! The boss of an IT company once said something<br />interesting about the animal called competition. He said &#8220;Have<br />breakfast …or…. be breakfast&#8221;! That sums it up rather neatly.<br />—Dr. Y. L. R. Moorthi is a professor at the Indian Institute of<br />Management Bangalore. He is an M.Tech from Indian Institute of<br />Technology, Madras and a post graduate in management from IIM,<br />Bangalore.</p>
