England ‘To Call Off India cricket Tour’

England are preparing to return home from India following yesterday’s terrorist attacks in Mumbai, say reports.

The Press Trust of India (PTI) reported that Kevin Pietersen’s men had decided to fly home immediately, but this was later refuted as news filtered out that England will remain in Bhubaneswar overnight and hold discussions with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over the next 24 hours before deciding whether to abandon the tour completely.

The final two one-day internationals in the seven-match series have been postponed. England trail 5-0 after yesterday’s defeat.

Hugh Morris, the ECB’s managing director of England cricket, said: “On behalf of the Board and the England team, we would like to express our condolences to the families and friends of those people who were killed or injured in last night’s attacks.

Chandrayaan-I lands on moon

Chandrayaan-I lands on moon on Friday night ..india to be  the fourth nation to do this historic milestone after a Moon Impact Probe with the national tri-colour painted successfully landed on the lunar surface .

Joining the US, the Soviet Union and the European Union, the 35-kg Moon Impact Probe hit the moon exactly at 8.31 PM, about 25 minutes after the probe instrument descended from the satellite in what ISRO described as a “perfect operation“.

Miniature Indian flags painted on four sides of the MIP signalled the country’s symbolic entry into moon to coincide with the birth anniversary of the country’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, observed as Children’s Day.

“It will signify the entry of India on Moon,” an ISRO official said.

During its 20-minute descent to the moon’s surface, MIP took pictures and transmitted them back to the ground. The first pictures are expected to be made public on Saturday.

ISRO officials said Chandrayaan-1 detached the Moon Impact Probe as planned.

US was the first country whose flag adorned the moon and the success of the MIP landing on the earth’s natural satellite is the first hardlanding on the moon in 32 years.

The spacecraft on Friday reached its final orbital home, about 100 kms over the moon surface after ISRO scientists successfully carried out the last critical orbit lowering operation.

Indian IT industry is safe

According to survey condected by Nasscom told that Indian IT industry is safe

India’s IT industry does not need to worry about the current economic downturn as “we have a strong knowledge base” and the established market players here would not be affected. ”We need not worry about the slowdown in the US economy. It is all a temporary phase and very soon, the US dollar will reach a stable position,” said Ganesh Natarajan, chairman of the National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom).

Addressing a chief executives’ meeting here, he said despite the global meltdown, the Indian software business is growing at the rate of 21-24 per cent every year.

He, however, urged the IT industry leaders to look beyond the US market. “Plenty of opportunities are available in Latin America, Japan, China, Europe and also in some African nations,” Natarajan said.

“By 2020, India can alone fulfill the need of technical talent of the whole world. By that time the whole world would need 43 million technocrats while India will have 47 million surplus technocrats,” he said.

According to Natarajan, the estate and retail business would feel the heat of the economic downturn. “But our IT sector is safe and would continue to grow,”

He added that huge investments have to be made to train the available talent.

The use of an Atom CPU with a mere 1GB of RAM to play Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. A Linux system is expected to come later, so it’s not all bad news though.

The Mini 12 costs £429

If considered as a small, low-powered and above all portable notebook, then, the Mini 12 could be a lot more attractive.
