Okay, I heard about Swoopo a month ago. I am a scientist - wanted to check how this works. I got into this by buying two 50 bids.

My Final Conclusion is : Its SCAM / CHEATING. We can NAIL them down. All of us have been only complaining all the time which never yields a solution. If there are some Legal Attorneys out there, they may find some thing to Sue them forever and CLOSE this SHOP.

Here is why they are cheating and here is how it is very easy to write such a Program:

The World is shrinking to BOXED world - a WORLD restricted to PC. When the PC World is shown on a BIG screen it becomes a VIRTUAL world.

Swoopo's Algorithm is based on - some thing like Creating a Virtual Hotel and how to convince the customer/user/us/human that the Virtual Hotel is a REAL Hotel. On Average a human will believe if he can see around couple of other humans.

If the program can create few HUMANBOTS, the HUMAN is trapped psychologically. This is exactly what they are doing in Swoopo.

They have ONLY THREE types of HUMANBOTS - SingleBid robots, BidButler Robots and Fresh Bidder robot.

The advantage of Virtual World is :

1. It can Replicated according to the Programmer's Whims and Fancies.
2. Every thing is an Object in the Virtual World.
3. Every Object Parameter can be altered to our benefit.

So, SingleBid robots, BidButler robots and Fresh Bidder can be controlled, created, altered at will by SWOOPO's Technical Head - the Algorithm Fella.

With these HumanBots SWOOPO creates a live environment for a HUMAN/us. Creates a sense of Competition, Fight and frustration - Basically its Simulating the Real World where the HUMAN gets trapped to his/her emotional aspects and SUCKED/EXTRACT our BUCKs.

If you see the rules are simple:

1. First timer should WIN.
2. Second timer should Loose. (Introduce Humanbots and frustrate the User - which 95% of the time psychologically, instigates the HUMAN to buy and get addicted).
3. and we can go on - after all its just replicating the objects, changing the parameters randomly and the past of the HUMAN BIDDER.

The Simple Way to nail them down is: Ask for the Records where we have LOST our BIDDING and go and check for the LEGALITY/REALITY of ALL the BIDDERs in that BID.

I have made a PPT of all the users in my BIDDING. I bet they are NOT REAL and are HUMANBOTS.

That could be one reason why their Servers are in Germany NOT in US. They can TWEAK every thing and any thing. However some information may not be changed,

IT's NOT GOOD to EXPLOIT (in what ever form). We can create a Fair and Really Entertaining Shopping which Swoopo Claims but, at the least, they are NOT CLEAN. PERIOD.

If needed we can Nail them down - an Attorney can help us get back some compensation for our Frustration and Exploitation.

Thank you,

hmm, What to say about this recent Nature article and many reports on that like :

1. Reconstructing Indian population history
2. About the cover
3. Indian ancestry revealed

1. India’s caste system descended from two tribes ‘not colonialism’ - is it needed ?
2. Genetic diversity of Indian population studied - why bother about genetic diversity of population?
3. One dose does not fit all Indians - There should be a bigger agenda

and many more articles

Here is my take on this:

1. Lack of leadership exploited for Business / Capitalist advantage
2. Congress Govt bought by Capitalist
3. India is being managed by US of A/ Capitalist from behind the curtain
4. 1.5 billion population - huge business opportunity
5. Demographic Advantage - intellectual exploitation
6. Deliberate unnecessary media attention
7. creating reasons, facts, statistics, spokespersons, new definitions

bottom line: Its a conspiracy -

1. Swine flu
2. Gay / Lesbian Classification
3. Pakistan terrorism, Kashmir Issue
4. Chinese border threats

all are cheap Pressure tactics

First,
a) Why do we need genetic basis of ancestry now ? Personalized medicine is a new term coined and is being branded. Why ? To make business. Are there no other ways or better ways of achieving medical/health care solutions. We have many better ways than the sympomatic allopathy. Most of the health care methodologies are going back to traditional Indian Medical methodologies. This step is more desperation.

b) Further, Why India ? Why so much media hype? why not Chinese? why not Americans? Why not Red Indians (Native) ? Why not African Population ?

c) Exploitation of our Biological Ignorance: Genetics and Biology for that matter of fact is just a means to understand Life like any other science Physics, Chemistry. Its an evolving process. Definitely NOT the last piece to solve the puzzle of understanding Human/Living Beings. 50% of Environment and 50% of Genetics - play major role. The Environment influences through MIND which has not yet been understood fully. Why this project? The conclusions from this project are unnecessarily hyped. There is nothing great about the conclusions.

d) When Managers, Branding, Networking takes the main stage and Scientists are replaced by Managers, or Scientist want to become Sales managers, just because they are asked to sell their project for monetary gains to the Capitalist world, this is what happens - How pathetic that and where is the world going ? Take a deep breathe and look around.

e) The other way supporting this is: Entropy increases what ever happens. Disorderliness, chaos are a natural phenomenon. The root cause of Disorderliness is Lack of Knowledge. An intellectually strong country with its demographic advantage should be pushed into Ignorance and Knowledge be diluted so that the population is exploited for the business. This seems to be the bigger agenda. I dont see any reason for this project other than this hidden agenda. Whether it is Swine Flu hype, or Gay/lesbian Concepts pushed into India or Giving away Oscars to Indian Media/Movies or this article - I am not able to buy these. Its all stage managed. See the similar pattern again: Unless Indian scientists collaborate with Western scientists, we cannot get such an attention or publications in Nature. Same is the case with Oscars. Unless Indian movies are directed by Western directors, we cannot get Oscars. Come on!!

f) Technologies saturate faster than expected. This is exactly what is happening. Definitely the selling point is NOT the article. It is this ARTICLE creating an entry into every corner of India to BUY the technologies used. NATURE brand will create the necessary selling point for the groups behind. Thats it. But think, do we need these? What is our Goal? Its exploitation.

g) Coming to the concept of CASTE system. India never worked on or enforced any thing on its soil. It has evolved and will be evolving. Evolutionary changes are the most resistant to change or best buffers. Caste was an evolutionary process. Based on the work culture and capabilities to take up a particular challenge at that instance of Society, Indians developed their expertise. Thats it. Now except for political advantage, no body looks for CASTE based events. So Indian society is evolving. Its no big deal. At least not that big a deal that you will enjoy spending millions of dollars to identify the genetic basis of Indian Population. I dont buy if this was the reason. No scientist will invest money, time and intellect to support this reason.

h) Endogamy - whats the big fuss about it. When 3 quarters are surrounded by WATER, one Quarter by Mountains, its obviously Endogamy. It also indicates the contentment the individuals living in India were having all the while since 4000 years say, whatever years.

i) What is ASI/ANI - is there a need for new definitions to be created to prove your point? I dont think so.

j) The sample size is so small that this is NOT worth to be published in a journal like NATURE.

Bottom line: In today's world, Dont get Carried away by publications, spokespersons, value, branding. The challenge now is to come out of illusion by businesses and get to bottom of truth.

if that helps. This is my perception of Today's India.
Thank you
