thanks for showing interest

Google de-indexed this blog gradually, no page is indexed from last few months. This happened; and it affected a lot( fate?) of people and small businesses. The interest of people was like this graph, it never died down over a year. I want to THANK the readers!


I have seen this map as a child -- the Mercator projection ( Europe at center, Russia extra large in this version) which most recognise as a world map. Geographically the largest continent is Africa but this map does not gives this impression! Thank you READERS where ever you are! The most views google says is from USA! Atleast one from each continent and this means something to this blogger!  I am unsure though what that means. For this blog, within continents the most notable( reportable) miss is China( PRC).


The minimum for filling colour in this 'map' is 11 ?


The all time view crossed 10k today! 


Special thanks to Greenland as the map has never shown any view from there!

Thanks again!

Google Monopoly Case and Implications of Remedial Measures

Image
Case : Whether Google holds a monopoly in the search(2020) and advertising markets( 2023)? Amit Mehta, Judge, Ruling : Google is a monopoly in the search antitrust case,  September 2023. Two years ago. The ruling  ordered remedies not a split. Remedies are behavioural and specific, not STRUCTURAL. Amit Mehta recommended other remedies, they are :  Google is largely banned from entering into exclusive default search engine agreements with browser developers like Apple and Mozilla.

On April 17, 2025, Judge Brinkema ruled that Google is liable for  "willfully acquiring and maintaining...

Geo-strategic flux and Iran-Israel conflict

Once a war begins and hostilities and the hard military options pan out, the other avenues of pursuing interests, ensuring stability while maintaining an order based on principles remains active. Wars, at least immediately, do not bring peace. Once war ensues, a ceasefire and cessation of hostilities is the best bet and the immediate goal. Conflict and war in middle-east Iran-Israel do not share a border but their broader and immediate Geo-strategic interests and positions cast them as arch enemies and they had exchanged fire twice last year. It has been brewing for years, but the events of Friday the thirteenth were shocking and caught most by surprise, except of course Israel. A fragile and temporary ceasefire has somehow taken hold. The 1967 Arab-Israeli war lasted for 6 days and 1973 for 19 days, this round of conflict between Israel and Iran for 12 days. Emboldened by the success Israel has with Hezbollah and ongoing Gaza blockade,(tacit acceptance by world) Israel initiated a pl...

Alasdair MacIntyre : A Short Tribute

Alasdair MacIntyre engaged with Marxism, Liberalism and Christianity. He has written books on these subjects. As a learner and thinker he was open towards available forms of thought and has an unique capability to influence modern ideas and thought. What a philosopher rejects, abandons or eschews should be read and discussed with what they profess and propound? Students, learners and followers were struck by his diagnosis of modernity, and his presentation of predicaments that spawned the emergence and expansion of modernity. The individual and individuality is central to the modern project. The modern relies and rests on individuals who have social roots. The ‘eking and carving’ out of an individual through volition, self-determination and agency severs and loosens the social roots and ties of modern individuals. There is no getting around or away from these modern predicaments. The deficiencies of individual rationality and prevalence of in-commensurable theories a failure of the e...
