Osborne Effect from Invention (Aquisition) to Grave
I just watched the "Retro Radio Gadgets" display in United Kingdom where only old guys like me visited it with enthusiasm. It is currently available on YouTube. Then, I watched another YouTube presentation where another clever guy listed 53 Gadgets that failed after millions of investment where the Idea was great but the execution was bad.
The First portable computer 1 developed by Osborne Computer Corporation was cannibalized by its intended next version.
Osborne Effect is when a viable product that sells well announces it's next innovative product ahead of it's time and the product that sells well plummets and the company go bust and the new innovation never see the daylight.
This is why Apple never announces it next product.
I could not afford many of the gadgets which was a blessing in disguise.
Then, of course I found Linux (Redhat) by accident and never looked back on Windows. Linux has ton of Software including Blender FREE.
It saved me a lot as a family man.
Android Cellphone killed most of the products since it is not the gadget but the software that rules the world.
Rival company buys the product outright and kills it in it's infancy.
Microsoft is known for that ploy.
In my memory ZIP disk was one of many.
I did not use ZIP disk for Audio but for Microsoft Software.
I would list a few of those companies here.
1. Atari Games
I was caught up without game cartridges
2. IBM
Killed it's own product to keep the business model floating and ultimately sold its LOGO to China.
I had a Network of 15 IBM computers running various Linux Distribution during 32 bit era. They were damn cheap and I could buy them in bulk at Alpha Digital in Kandy. Only one had a paid copy of Windows without any software.
3. Texas Instruments
4. Apple in its early days before Steve Job took over its administration.
5. Sony Cameras
I have a Fuji digital camera now.
6. Sinclair Time's edition
7. Microsoft Windows 95
8. Commodore Computers
I was caught up with Commodore 64 without a power pack which busted in no time in Ceylon due to poor Voltage in domestic suppy line. I was without a replacement power unit.
9. Sony Betamax
I stuck with JVC
10. Toshiba
11. Nokia
Without knowing Nokia going bust, I bought 10 of Nokia varying from Android 5 to 13. I have one Nokia with me and rest is in Ceylon or dished out.
By the way, my first cellphone was JAVA based and wad damn cheap.
12. RadioShack
More than 25 Gadgets to it's credit.
1. Portable Radio
2. Digital Clock Radio
3. Realistic Nova Headphones
4. Realistic Sterio Speakers in metal casing.
I bought a pair for £50/= in London Totanham Court Road. It worked nearly 30 years in Ceylon
5. Amplifier
6. Multimeter
7. Equilzer
8. CB Radio Transceiver Free Communication
9. Scanner Radio Police and Emergency workers used
10. Weather Radio
11. Duoform Answering Machine
It had two cassettes.
Cassettes were a craze for me. I wanted to digitalize all my collection of cassettes.
Copyright guys stopped the manufacturing of these units that digitalize the cassettes that had my children childhood voices.
I had a portable answering machine in UK hospital in my pocket in 1980s. It
12. Hand Free Speaker Phone
Bought one from Ceylon SLT just before I left. Not a RadioShack unit.
13. TRS 80 Model 100 first computer in 1983. First Portable computer.
14. Free Batteries
15. TRS 80 Pocket Computer 13 in 1982 but bulky.
I have a Sharp Model but it has very poor memory. Could not store my address list.
16. Science Fair 150 Electronic Kit.
I left UK in 1988. This the only RadioShack unit I own.
I still have one and it works well after 40 years
17. Microcomputer Trainer kit.
Binary coding with machine language.
I tried it with Commodore 64 in 1985 but the power pack busted in no time due to low Voltage in Ceylon.
I nevet saw it but many years later I built by own computer. This is something a working doctor misses in his working life.
I was a physics guy who choose medicine fearing that I miss friends if I did physics in my adult life. That is what happened to professor of physics at Peradeniya University, Osmund Wickrama Jayarathna who did work on lightening.
18. Realistic Radio Receiver
Shortwave signals of the entire world but one need a big antenna
19. Cassette Deck
20. Record Player
21. Tandy Video Terminal
Text only message
Early Embryo of the WWW INTERNET.
22. First Cellular Phone in America
It was heavy and called the Brick.
23. Amatron
The Robotic Arm
Now the surgeons use Robotic Arm in micro surgery.
24. TRS 80 COCO
Colour Computer
I would not stop at 10 but my advice is for you to watch the two YouTube presentations.

Linus Torvalds Facts
Reproduction
Linus Torvalds Facts
Those guys changed the face of technology forever.
You already know about the asteroid 9793 Torvalds, named after him.
But what else?
Let’s see:
- Linus Torvalds was born on December 28, 1969, in Helsinki, Finland, and is now 55 years old.
- He wrote 100% of the first version of Linux, which represents around 1% of the present-day code.
- He almost named his project “FreaX” instead of “Linux”… So now, instead of a combination of the words “free,” “freak,” and “Unix,” we are enjoying a combination of the Trovald’s given name and “Unix.”
- In 1999, MIT proclaimed him one of the top innovators under 35.
- In 2001, Steve Jobs offered Torvalds a job at Apple, but he refused.
- In 2019, his net worth is estimated at around $150 million, with an annual salary of $10 million.
- He has a soft spot for scuba surfing. He is the creator of a platform called Scubaserfice that can create a scuba diving planner for you.
- Linus Torvalds created the version control system Git in 2005.
- Among other things, he has undergone military training and is a Second Lieutenant.
- He is awesome!

Alien Civilizations-Dark Matter and the Dark Energy
Alien (Galactic) Civilizations
Russian Scientist Nikolai Kardasheve in 1964 theorized 3 types of civilizations.
- AI has been egged up a bit. Frankly, we haven’t cracked it. knowledge & language base is one thing but AI it isn’t, still 10 years away, minimum.
- Quantum computing. yes there is emerging hardware, but the software required to run it is mind boggling, 10 years away, minimum.
- Inter
stellar transport. Not even close, 2 orders of scientific discovery
away, 50 years away at least. If we aren’t careful by the time we’ve
cracked it, this planet will be so surrounded by old junk satellites we
won’t be able to leave this old rock!By Nigel Calder and John NewellThe Lifespan of Advanced CivilizationsA very short lifespan for advanced civilizations may be a realistic probability because as our own case shows, technology mushrooms very rapidly and is accompanied by many dangerous effects such as;1. Overpopulation2. Depletion of natural resources3. Pollution and worse of all4. Rapid escalation of nuclear stockpiles which can easily reach the level where they are capable of wiping out the whole population of a planet.By the same token, if we were to find significant number of other advanced civilizations in our galaxy it would mean that some at least had been able to overcome the dangers that are now looming over our own civilizations.If they have reached this advanced stage, it would mean that they have been able discard all of their animistic (BARBARISM) attributes such as materialism, selfishness, territoriality, dominance over others and killing instincts which in a technological civilizations are likely to lead to self destruction.They would have been able to to mature into higher levels of cosmic intelligence characterized by spirituality, altruism, respect of others, adherence to peace and love for each other.Joining such a galactic society would indeed be a colossal step forward in the intellectual and ethical evolution of our civilization.This might also be the reason why we have not yet heard from any such advanced civilizations as may exist.There must be a galactic rule that says that before a new civilization is invited to join the galactic society it must show that it is able to overcome the major crisis that probably befall all new technological civilizations.Since we are still in the midst of this evolutionary problem, there may be advanced civilizations waiting to see how we do before inviting us to join the galactic society of advanced civilizations.
Order of the Universe and the World Systems
This is my analysis of the Universe and the World Systems in a theoretical sense.
It
is enormously large but its fundamentals can be understood, if we
disregard the current themes and dogmatic expressions which are
controlled by the religions that exists today.
I will make reference to Buddhist cosmology below to complete the discussions.
I have discussed them, not in detail, in some of my books, for the New Science to emerge from the ashes.
Even
Einstein was reprimanded by the Church, discussing them except the
Material World according to, a Big Bang, which suits the Church.
Creating material form from nothing without an antecedent.
Something from nothing is bete noire or anathema to me.
I
have avoided discussing them except asking the pertinent question, “Who
created the God”, in my childhood, knowing very well nobody would
answer the question posed.
My in born talent was ability for vivid imagination, and nobody has inspired me in my childhood.
I
could figure out mathematics and physics with ease but I did not know
my fellow students we struggling with simple arithmetic. I thought the
guys were equally capable till lately my friends in retirement, alerted
to that fallacy of my estimates.
I fitted with the lot, not asking
probing questions (I was thrown out of the class several times, asking
questions, the teachers could not answer and which made them "red hot")
in my childhood, just to save me from labeled as insane.
This is what the Church does if, the dogma is challenged, he/she excommunicated in broad day light (covertly, if not overtly).
The preamble is necessary, before I summarize my current concepts which are subjected to challenge with alternatives.
1. The current world order and the past world order is/was in a state of flux.
It has always being.
2. Matter is small (less than 5%) and the Dark Matter and Dark Energy is huge.
3. There is an interchange of dark matter to matter and vice versa. This is where the state of flux works in tandem.
4. The relative stability is an illusion, since the conversion is very very slow, which a modern camera cannot catch.
In that sense I am against, a big change or a big bang.
5. A camera image now taken is an old incident million light years in count.
We cannot capture the present in any sense.
This is where vivid imagination is essential to figure out the past, the present and the future in a scientific sense.
So my choice of biological science instead of physics was a fortunate coincidence.
We did not have satellite images then.
I viewed few satellite images and made my rough sketch of the universe and the concepts, below.
6. We ignored the Dark Matter.
7. We had theories for Matter only.
8. Expansion of the universe was ignored.
9. Dark Matter and the Dark Energy cause the expansion, just as well, lest there is a Big Crunch (opposite of Big Bang)
10. Even in some galaxies now viewed from images there is dark matter inside.
That is my crunch point.
11. Dark matter is eating up the matter albeit slowly (a conversion point) in the midst of matter.
12.
The dark matter is converted (convergent point) to matter in the
periphery of the galaxies, most likely, giving a semblance of stability,
in a state of flux situation.
13. The matter can be swallowed by a Dark Hole in a matter of seconds.
14. What prevents this is the expansion, geared by dark energy.
15. What we know is little, what we do not is enormous.
So I have put the essence of New Science in 15 points albeit one or two misconceptions or inaccuracies which are subjected to alternative views.
In Buddhist cosmology, there is nothing on matter or dark matter.
It is all about Mental Culture that can permeate matter and space by Mental Energy and Concepts.
Aliens and Buddhist Cosmology
The intention here is to discuss the relevance of Buddhist Cosmology to alien visitation to this planet.
According to Buddhist cosmology there is only, one human species only limited to this solar system and nowhere else.
Because of the vastness of the universe, I figured out there could be many humanoids in the universe but I am disappointed by this finding in Buddhist Cosmology.
It means there is only one planet in the entire universe which looks like ours and support humans and lower animal species.
The
corollary is, if we destroy this planet with a nuclear bomb which is
highly likely in the current context, the life form we describe as human
will go into extinction along with the rest of the animal species.
Because of the Van Allen belt we cannot escape even to the moon let alone mars to colonize in such an eventuality.
The alien visitation followed after the nuclear testing 70 years ago.
Their purpose was to warn us of the impending danger.
They were benevolent species.
Then of course, there could have been not so benevolent but explorer type who would have come here.
There intention is to explore and exploit.
If
this is the only planet of this nature it the experimental laboratory
to rejuvenate the lost capabilities and genetic mismatches.
The
possibility of cloning and hybrids are real possibility in the name of
Tall Whites and Men in Black suits (possibly a hybrid).
These guys of the second category operate at night.
They may not have sex differentiation (already lost but the generations kept by cloning).
So let me now describe in general terms, the six civilizations above our zero generation.
1.We humans are Zero Civilization.
Animals are below zero.
2. Number one above us come as First (1st ) Generation Civilization.
Their capabilities are higher than us but their mental capacities are not high as compared to level 6 Civilizations.
They probably have developed devices to travel in space (spaceships etc).
They may be sending human like artificial robots to this planet with highly advanced computer technology probably atomic level.
They
are suspicious of our war mentality and do not trust us and they may
choose war not negotiation when their interests are hindered or
challenged.
They are neither benevolent nor aggressive but detest provocations.
They probably have mind reading telepathic capabilities.
3. The Second Level Generation may have visited us but do not like human and first generation interaction and simply avoid both.
Sort of neutral entity.
4. The Third Level Civilizations are much superior and non interventional type and their course of action is limited on earth.
5.
The Fourth Level Civilizations and above are only benevolent and they
may have planted proxies here or working with humans to improve quality
of life here.
So we have to worry mostly the First Generation Civilization who may get establish here and make it their stop gap laboratory.
So to interact with higher level civilizations, what we need is not technology but mental culture with people who can attain Jhana level absorption to interact with them.
So meditation can be used theoretically to fill the mental communication gap.
A summary of Buddhist cosmology is given below.
Planes of Existences
There are 31 planes of existence.
They are four states of Unhappiness (Duggati)
1. Niraya
2. Tiracchana Yoni (animal Kingdom)
3. Peta yoni
4. Asura Yoni
Four happy states (Sugati)
1. Manusa
2. Six Devalokas
3. 16 Rupalokas
4. 4 Arupalokas
The Thirty-one Planes of Existence
Scattered
throughout the suttas are references to as many as thirty-one distinct
"planes" or "realms" of existence into which beings can be reborn during
their long wandering through samsara.
These range from the
extraordinarily grim and painful hell realms all the way up to the most
exquisitely refined and blissful heaven realms.
Existence in every realm is temporary; in Buddhist cosmology there is no eternal heaven or hell.
Beings are born into a particular realm according to their past kamma.
When
they pass away, they take rebirth once again elsewhere according to the
quality of their kamma: wholesome actions bring about a favorable
rebirth, while unwholesome actions lead to an unfavorable one and so
the wearisome cycle continues.
The realms of existence are
customarily divided into three distinct "worlds" (loka), listed here in
descending order of refinement:
The Immaterial World (arupa-loka).
Consists of four realms that are accessible to those who pass away while meditating in the formless Jhanas.
The Fine-Material World (rupa-loka).
Consists
of sixteen realms whose inhabitants (the devas) experience extremely
refined degrees of mental pleasure. These realms are accessible to those
who have attained at least some level of Jhana and who have thereby
managed to (temporarily) suppress hatred and ill-will. They are said to
possess extremely refined bodies of pure light. The highest of these
realms, the Pure Abodes, are accessible only to those who have attained
to "non-returning," the third stage of Awakening. The Fine-Material
World and the Immaterial World together constitute the "heavens"
(sagga).
The Sensuous World (kama-loka).
Consists of eleven
realms in which experience — both pleasurable and not — is dominated by
the five senses. Seven of these realms are favorable destinations, and
include our own human realm as well as several realms occupied by devas.
The lowest realms are the four "bad" destinations, which include the animal and hell realms.
