Apple iPad mini

Balaji Narasimhan | sherlockbalaji@yahoo.com | http://www.balaji.ind.in/ October 2012: Asking a question like, Will the iPad mini succeed? will get you a response like, duh! After all, Apple is a company with an impressive track record for product launches. Still, it is worthwhile to look at the launch chart. The product, according to a live blog launched at this time: 23 Oct 2012 10:51 am PDT San Jose, California 37n20, 121w54, 8 West, DST 1 Lagna: 17-Vrichaka-45 Heres the chart: +-----------------------+ gu ke +-----+-----------+----- +----- +----- ch +-----+-----------+----- ku busu sask ra lg +-----------------------+ The Lagna lord is strongly placed in Lagna to the very degree, which is a huge plus. While the 10th lord (status) is neecha, he gets neecha bhanga because of conjunction with exalted Sani. There are also a few negatives. The lord of the 11th house of gain is in Lagna, but the 11th has a neecha graha, who disposits 2nd lord Guru.

Gurus aspect on Lagna is most welcome, but the lord of the 2nd in the 6th from the second may mean that gain from this product could be negatively impacted. Guru is vakra and this could cause some reversals for the houses he rules. This could be an important issue. It is well known that Steve Jobs didnt like small tabletsin fact, one can say with a level of confidence that if Jobs was still alive the iPad mini may never have been madeand the company has taken a gamble by departing from the founders vision by launching a me-too product. Still, the product is 35 per cent larger than the Nexus 7 and may be the largest tablet that can be held in one handand this alone could help it get an edge in that segment. Coming back to Jyotish, it is said that a vakra graha, thanks to chesta bala, strengthens the house he occupies. According to Brigu Sutra, the 7th rules impact abroad, and the iPad mini may become a best seller in foreign countries. This is borne out by the fact that Guru has the highest chesta bala and shad bala. The running dasa at launch was Kuja-Guru-Sani, and since all of them are well placed, it could give the product a good start. Budhas pratyantar starts from 30 Oct 2012 and the product, which will be available in early November, could enjoy good gain in this period.
