Canon Canada Service Center in Calgary SUCKS



This is the persistent repair of one of my fan's on flickr.

I am requesting Canon Senior management to look into the quality of the service issue urgently.

Such standard of service certainly going to cost Canon more in the long run.

TaoTeh The Way of the Heart - Chinese traditional character set - because Heart has not been taken out of the words.


The way of the Heart though under copyright is free to use in it's unchanged form
TAO TEH CHING
les mots classiques de TAO et TEH
LA MANIÈRE DU COEUR

Tao n'est pas Tao, Tao peu commun.

TAO (LA MANIÈRE DU COEUR) peut être parlé, mais pas le Tao éternel (manière).

Nom non nommé, nom peu commun. Des noms peuvent être appelés, mais pas le nom éternel.
(vous ne pouvez pas contenir l'infini.)

Comme origine de la ciel-et-terre, elle est invisible

En tant que "mère" de toutes les choses, elle est descriptible.

Nous désirons comprendre le mystère,
particulièrement l'invisible infini.

Nous désirons comprendre les choses que
nous observons, en particulier ce qui est
qu'on peut répéter.

Ces tous les deux existent, de la même source
le Tao.

C'est mystérieux pour la même raison.

En outre la source est spirituelle et
mystérieuse.

C'est la porte à un grand nombre de mystères

(la source de commencement de l'univers
a créé les lois de l'univers.)

TAO TEH CHING
The Classic Words of TAO & TEH
THE WAY OF THE HEART
Translated by John L. A. Trottier

Tao is not Tao, unusual Tao.

TAO (THE WAY OF THE HEART) can be talked about,
but not the Eternal Tao (Way).
(“The Map is not the Territory’)

Name not name, unusual name.

Names can be named,
but not the Eternal Name.

(You cannot contain the infinite.)
[“The Model is not the Reality”]

As the origin of heaven-and-earth,

it is invisible:

As “the Mother” of all things,

it is observable.

We desire to understand the mystery, especially the infinite invisible.

We desire to understand the things we observe, especially what is repeatable.

These both exist, from the same source the Tao.

This is mysterious for the same reason.

Furthermore the source is spiritual and mysterious.

This is the gate to great numbers of mysteries

(The source of the beginning of the Universe created the laws of the Universe.)

The team work. The echelon formation.

The important of mutual supporting in the company or corporation.

About Win or Loose!!


Violet Peace, originally uploaded by CharlieBrown8989.


This is the answer I given to one of my fan's regarding win of Loose!!

your work quality is not depend on flickr Explore; it is depend on you yourself set

Your own goal.

keep learning ;

keep improving;

keep refinding;

keep innovating;

Keep creating;

Keep self-motivating;

Keep-Positive Thinking..etc.

Then You truly exploring your own future & defining the New Frontier.

Explore can be a very disturbing algorithm & made one crazy & hate flickr explore Algorithm.

As Lao Zi Said:

One should not have the heart & mind on "Win or Loose" ; one should have selfless & blend with Nature.

That is Dao & Theorem (Fa) In Nature!!

Fire Fighting


Fire Fighting, originally uploaded by CharlieBrown8989.



Executive In a corporation shall not be a fire fighter.

As an executive or leader in any corporation. One must be able to anticipate event before it is happening & then act timely before the wild fire taken place.

Unfortunately, most of the corporation today still have their executive's as the commander of the fire fighting task.

Looking at the events in HP; Yahoo are the recent examples in today corporate world events.

Today, I am informed by markus, that www.mabicious.com steal my works.

http://www.mobicious.com/wallpapers/89536-charliebrown-the-glow-within#

Apparently, it have been found that many flickr member are affected by such activities.

there is a forum covering this topic on http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/43447/

As on now, flickr staff said they are "looking At it!!"

is these unbelievable??

Yahoo Chief, Jerry Yang should look into the issue of the Germen Censorship & those issues let these urgently.

Otherwise, More dismay result would have happen!!

Yahoo! CEO Terry Semel considers resigning??

This article I found on Yahoo! Terry Semel Consider Resigning


Well, it is expected he would be doing so under the pressure & stress from the Shareholders & the Board of director.

As in the Sun Zi Art of War.

A hero Need to know when to go forward & when to withdraw!!

Terry Semel reaching this stage is exactly what I wrote earlier in my blogs, If he don't act fast enough, it would be too late for both Yahoo! & himself.

Yahoo shareholders protest CEO's $107 million pay

I was browsing the report on flickr Censorship on Germany AgainstCensorship.....

Then I found this article.

I am appending for you all to read.

In my paper on "Creating Excellence New Philips Corporate Culture!!" I have a chapter touch on the Senior executive compensation for tech company.

Which over almost 17th years ago I made such a bold statement against the Money as a motivation terms for the Senior executives of a Corporation. Which is still valid today.

For most corporate culture adviser today they are with many years of experience in changing the corporate culture,. However, to get one that understanding about the balance of Money & the intangible mindware to be on the leadership position like late Winston Churchill & Mao ZeDong is very impossible to find today.

If the leadership on the top of the corporation is motivated by Money, then the whole corporate culture would be based on money. Then such corporation would never have soul & culture after all.

Yahoo - flickr = Censorship



[I'm CEO of Zooomr]

Well it is with great disappointment that I found myself yet again a victim of censorship on Flickr. Early today while engaging in a debate about Flickr's recent censorship in Germany I had over a dozen of my comments permanently deleted out of a debate by Flickr staff.

You can see the references to my involvement in the debate here and here among other places.

It's ironic that of all places that Flickr would choose to censor me would be in a thread protesting their censorship. And without any warning even or explanation.

This is not the first time I've been censored by Flickr.

The points that I was making in my debate about censorship on Flickr had a lot to do with what I see as problems at Yahoo. The fact that their CEO is the highest paid CEO in the United States, the fact that Yahoo 2 days ago rejected an important shareholder proposal denouncing censorship. And yes this most recent issue of censorship where people in Germany can only access Flickr in "safe mode."

Now some might say that it's not right for me as a competitor to Yahoo to be critical of their practices. But let me point you to the screen shot above. It comes from Flickr employee Dunstan Orchard's public zipline on Zooomr. Dunstan and other Flickr employees have been on Zooomr disparaging our site for the past week. So to me it seems a tad hypocritical that when I legitimately object to censorship on Flickr that I would have my words censored, while Flickr staff seems to feel that it's perfectly appropriate to disparage Zooomr over at Zooomr.

It's not right. And what Flickr doesn't understand is that by censoring your critic you only make him stronger. I'm sure it's probably only a matter of time before I get kicked off of Flickr entirely. All my photographs destroyed and deleted as well. Over 40,000 comments from many good friends.

This is the difference though between me and flickr. When Dunstan and other Flickr employees disparaged Zooomr I let their words stand. Rather than censor them, I took the high road and did not. Meanwhile flickr continues to build a name for itself: Flickr = censorship. Silencing me will not change this and it's a sad state of affairs to see happen to the flickr that I once loved so much and that even now professes to "love me" on the little icon above my page.

Censorship is borne out of fear and weakness. This is something always to remember.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

My Comments is as follow:

I have been a supporter of flickr like TH all along. Although I have a Zooomr account, but I am not too active.

To me, These events are a history repeated by itself of flickr-Yahoo.

Yahoo - flickr = Yahoo!

TH is a user of flickr. However, flickr have the Supreme God & goddess. Whom decide who should be censored; block or deleted...etc.

I have experience that since Sept 29, 2005 till today.

To me flickr is a great photo management community, but over time the Power - politics seem to be happening in both internal & external which are the "customers".

If the management on the top is assuming the imperialism management or authoritarian style then e-gangsterism or e-hooliganism would born naturally.

TH is good heart by sounding out for flickr to improve. It means well & good. However, that is not really appreciated as my earlier experiences.

Perhaps it is the same as what I have been served & f-team God think that it is a threat to their existence.

Especially, TH have commented at his own flickr. Which they have the power to do what they want. Anytime a violating the TOS can just created. & then they can exercise their power.

flickr junior staffs messing at Zooomr site are totally un-professional in the web2.0 era.

In my opinion, Yahoo CEO Terry Semel should need to come forward to the front to assume the leadership to iron out those censorship issue including Germany, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea & also those blockage, suspensions, deletions, harassments; oppressions; bully to the Yahoo customers..etc. before it is too late.

Yahoo - flickr Censorship & leadsership

The recent events on Censorship, That to me is not new.

Read
www.flickr.com/people/charliebrown8989 for the details of my encounter.


Now off late with the censorship on China, now Germany :

Read:

http://ebusiness-ecommerce.blogspot.com/

http://power-politics.blogspot.com/ it is a lesson for major search engines & the community to learn.


Yahoo Stake holders & senior management really have to review the management & leadership issues within 1st.

In my paper to Philips on Creating Excellence New Philips Corporate Culture. I have highlighted the important of the "Put Customers' 1st" at the outset.


For the internal issue the No 1 need is to re-examine the management & leadership; Act & change Timely!!

Terry Semel really have to take these initiatives before it is too late for himself!!
