We really wish this thing was ready for prime time because we think we may have just found an e-book reader we can get behind. iriver’s prototype E-BOOk, um, e-book reader comes swathed in luxurious leather, features side-by-side dual touch sensitive e-ink screens, and uses AAA batteries for up to 6 months battery life (we didn’t find out how many turns). iriver still isn’t even sure if they’re going to launch this thing at home or abroad (read: here), so we should let ‘em know how good we all think a reader like this could be (refresh and ghosting problems excepted, natch).

Take a look at this hoarding by Pepsi.

This building is on TTK Road, Chennai.

Coca Cola has taken 2nd floor for their sales & marketing office
and recently fixed a board.

Two days later Pepsi put up a board in the same building where they have no retail outlet………..

And this is how you have to market a product!!!

One morning at a doctor's surgery a patient arrives complaining of serious
back-pain. The doctor examines him and asks him” OK, what happened to your
back?”

The patient replies “You know that I work for a local night club? This

morning I got home to my apartment early and heard a noise in my
bedroom.
On entering I knew someone had been with my wife and the balcony door was
open. I rushed out the balcony door and did not find anyone. As I
looked
down from the balcony I saw a man running out and he was dressing
himself.
I grabbed the fridge and threw it at him,That's how I strained my back”

The 2nd patient arrives looking as if he has been in a car wreck. The
doctor said “My previous patient looked bad, but you look terrible.What

the hell happened to you?”

He replied, “You know I hav! e been unemployed for a while now ..Today was

the first day at my new job. I forgot to set my alarm and was running
late. I was running out of the building, getting dressed at the same time,
and you won't believe it but I was hit by a fridge.”

The 3rd patient arrives; he looks even worse than the other two
patients
do. The doctor is shocked. Again asks, “What the hell happened to
youuuuuu…..?”

“Well I was sitting in a fridge & someone threw it from the 3rd floor”
