Not too long ago, our learned interim Attorney General, Mr. Sayed-Khaiyum put Microsoft on notice for use of the word "Fiji" in one of their product names. Microsoft immediately complied and announced that it will stop the use.

Somehow the Exadel Inc. executives completely missed the news and proceeded to name one of their new products, you guessed it,  Exadel Fiji. I hate to think what our learned AG will do about this if anything. Apparently Mr. Sayed-Khaiyum used the words "unreservedly objects" in a letter to Microsoft. That means he may not spare anyone.

In any case, Exadel Fiji as product will not have such a profile as anything from Microsoft. It's not a product which will be directly used by any average user as it's aimed at the developers to use in their software. Maybe the AG won't even hear of it.

And it's all thanks to some very bad coaching!

Just finished watching the quarter finals of the Scotland Sevens and watching the Fijians lose to Samoa yet again is heart wrenching. I wonder the kind of mental preparation the team gets before playing the finals stages. The team just never seems to be prepared enough to handle the tougher opponents or the "do or die" situtations. For Nasoni Roko to kick when he knows the support was right behind him is stupefying. For Vunibaka to get held up; what was he thinking!

I often blame bad referring for our losses, but it's time to put the blame sqaurely on the coaching staff. They just don't know what they're doing. We've gone through an entire season without a single IRB Sevens Tournament win. For the current world champions it's an absolute disgrace. There cannot be any more excuses. We need to retain the players and sack the underperforming coaching staff.
