Dell to buy Perot Systems Corporation for $3.9 billion

Perot Systems Corporation is well known in the world information technology sectors that is serving in technology area and have branch office in several countries in that world including India. The Plano, Texas based organization has been working in the field since 2004. The worldwide service provider is serving in not only on the technology sectors but also business solutions, healthcare, government, manufacturing, banking and insurance divisions. The famous technology manufactured Dell is going to buy perhaps its technology services section for $3.9 billion.

It is considered as an expensive rate and would pay $30 per share for Perot Systems and the last closing price was just $17.91. To get updates price you can visit http://www.google.com/finance?q=NYSE:PER

However, Dell's tech-services business would still be relatively small; EDS had revenue of $21 billion before HP bought it. And, IBM Corp's services revenue was $59 billion last year.
Also, Dell's services business is more basic than those of its larger competitors, and its revenue comes mainly from the hard-hit PC business. As a result Dell's profits have been slumping, down 23 percent in the second quarter.

From this quote you could understand easily the conditions of Dell’s market at this moment. The Perot Systems working area will be in ‘systems integration’ section. So, we all would have to wait till 2012 dateline. At this moment more that 23,100 employees are working in Perot Systems. Will it be difficult to sustain them in their jobs or have to fire them? The deal during the post recession period will surprise all.

Pak vs WI match preview and live score: ICC Champions Trophy 2009

The first match has been over when Sri Lanka scored 319 runs and threw a big challenge to the host. The second encounter between Pakistan and West Indies will kick off on 23 September 2009 at New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg. In the previous post I wrote some important notes on the both teams of their wining progress and the players’ promotion in the last few years. Here I will explain detail on them.

Pakistan wicket keeper batsman Kamran Akmal is on super form. In the recent practices match against Sri Lanka, Pak crew started very well when 82 runs. During the one-day series in Arab Emirates he played very well cricket against Australia and honored as a man of the series title. Kamran Akmal is going to appear fourth time in the ICC champions trophy.

Naved-ul-Hasan’s 5 wickets against Sri Lanka brought an easy wins. And Umar Gul impressive bowling for the fans but devastated the Sri Lankan side during the twenty20 world championship.

All rounder Shahid Afridi form could bless for the team and Mohammad Asif has back to the team after one year and hoping best performances. Shahid Afridi will play his 10th match in ICC Trophy. He picked up 9 wickets from nine matches and he is the second man after Abdul Razzaq and picked up 10 wickets who has been kept out from the team but returned to the tam during the twenty20 world cup.

Pakistan skipper is on gear because his boys re doing well since one-day series one-day series with Australian till now even in the practice matches. Although he got a little bit injury during the warm-up match, hope he will come back and lead the team instead Shahid Afridi will be the responsible captain for the team against West Indies.

One time champions and two times runner-up West Indies will not be less strong than Pak team. You all known that Pakistan still did not play in final any more. So it can say confidently that West Indies is very ferocious in this stage.

CH Gayle is considred the number one batsman on West Indies tem. He scored 695 runs from his 14 appearances in Champions trophy. RR Sarwan and Bravo has also good statistic too. But in the squad you will not find any names.

Will Rani Mukherjee be a franchise of IPL team?

Rani Mukherjee aims to become a cricket player and would like to play in the league match. This line has been explained form her new released film Dil Bole Hadippa. It is the dream of the small village girl Rani. The opposition rolls played by Shahid Kapoor who has a cricket player of England team and come back to the team where his father works as a coach. He joined to the team as a coach and determines to make the team best. Rani Mukherjee come dramatically in the team and tries to fulfill his dream as a cricketer. The news is that the film has got huge response from the audiences. So it has brought a big come back for Rani after a long time break.


Bollywood actors have taken up cricket big time. Shahrukh Khan owns Kolkata Knight Riders alone with actress Juhi Chawla. Preity Zinta owns Kings XI Punjab along with Ness Wadia and Shilpa Shetty owns Rajasthan Royals along with boyfriend Raj Kundra. It was reported recently that Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan are also keen to bid for a team.

I am not writing review of the Dil Bole Hadippa but most important news is that Rani is going to buy an IPL club future. Although she has denied the rumor, she will be the next bollywood personality after Shilpa Shetty she will be the fourth name has relation to the Indian Premier League.

Pakistan vs West Indies match Analysis: ICC Champions Tropjy

Three good news is for the Pakistan cricket fans at the same time. When Pakistan Cricket authority is trying to make a tour along with India in a neutral venue at the same time two Pakistan players have been nominated for ICC award and the two important victories before the Champions League. West Indies will be the strong opponent during the second match of and the first match of Group A. Rest of the teams are Australia and Indian. Pakistan second match will be against arch rival cricket opposition India.

ICC Champions Trophy 2009
Pakistan vs West Indies on 23 Sep 2009
2nd Match Group A, New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg
Live action starts from: 12:30 GMT (18:00 IST)

First, I am going to congratulate to the Pakistan players who are going the honored with ICC Award 2009 and same to West Indies Players Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo and others. We all know that Pakistan fast bowler Umar Gul’s destructive bowling brought the prestigious title earlier this year. Though Caribbean’s exile in semifinals washed out them but kept the footprint in almost every area.

Pakistan last took on West Indies in United Arab Emirates in 2008/09 season when they took a sweet revenge over the visitors because West Indies beast Pakistan in the opening math of the 2007 crick world cup. At this moment both the team has changed a lot.

Pakistan just achieved 4 wins among the last ten matches. First five matches they played along with Australia and last with Sri Lanka. The last 10 matches’ statistics except Bangladesh matches, they have similar wins like Pakistan. New Zealand, India and England were the oppositions.

Bollywood superstars Aamir Khan’s Eid celebration

The holy Eid-ul-Fitr has been celebrated in the sub continent countries especially Indian and Bangladesh on Monday. All the Muslim people pray their Namaj early in the morning in an assembly. Most of the time, they want to spend this time with their nearest relatives especially parents and children. I am living in the capital city of Bangladesh. Before the first Jamat it had been raining heavily. But the religious Muslims went to Jamat and say their prayers.

I think the fans of the Bollywood superstars Aamir Khan, is like to know that where their favorite actor said his prayer and with whom he has spent his time. He has spent his time with family in Mumbai.


“Well, on the occasion of Eid, I will stay with my family, my mom and the friends who are here to meet me,” Aamir Khan said.

I personally like him so much and he is my favorite actor of Bollywood film industry. None of his film release in the Eid or Dawali. But his Three Idiots film is suppose to be released end of the year.

When ICC Champions Trophy 2009 opening ceremony show live

We already have known that the opening match gets underway with South Africa and Sri Lanka one year later SuperSport Park instead of Pakistan. The opening match is scheduled as a day-night, so the lighting and the colorful events will be enrolled at the end of the match. I want to remind the second season of IPL twenty20 league tournament was held in the same country earlier this year. This is the third events that South Africa is going to organized this kinds of with in two years. By organizing the Twenty20 world championship, the nation praised over the world. They will also the host country of Fifa World cup 2010.


After the cricket World cup, long time have been passed but did not organized any single event like world competition. So, this event comes such time when the limited over match is on dissecting table of many question.

The tournament arrives at a time when questions are being asked about the future of the 50 overs-a-side format. The competition here could be critical to the survival of ODI cricket in its present form.
In ODI cricket, there is time and space for batsmen to build an innings, for bowlers to send down longer spells with reasonably attacking fields. Here, the sides have a greater chance to regroup and recover.

In recent news I found that the master bluster batsman Sachin Tendulkar proposed ICC that if the one-day international match could inaugurate in two innings. ICC committee has accepted that proposal and the experimentally will be held soon.

I am disappointed that after 2007 more the four most money making games are held. Among them two IPL tournaments and two twenty20 matches. So it is natural the attraction and flavor of the limited over match has washed out from the cricket fans memory.
