| Facebook ‘Phone’ Might Be The Upcoming Project Of Facebook Posted: 20 Sep 2010 04:16 AM PDT
An internal source from 'Facebook' claims that it is on a new project of introducing Facebook mobile phone. The news is not confirmed though. There is another possibility that the organization might be building the software for the phone for another company said the source.
The source also claims that Joe Hewitt and Matthew Papakipos, the employees of Facebook working at a higher level are working for this project. But most of the other employees of the company have no idea regarding this. Since the complete project is a hush hush no one knows, when the phone will be launched, or how it will look like or what will the phone be priced at, etc., There is hardly anyone, who know about the project in detail, so it is quite difficult to reach to further details regarding it.

The 4th ODI between Pakistan vs England will be played at Lord’s in London on Friday September 20, 2010 Start time 1pm local 12pm GMT, 5 – 30 pm India time. Watch live scores and streaming . England is currently leading the 5 ODI series by 2-1, and will look to win this one and wrap up the series. An embattled Pakistan are likely to stick to the same starting XI, both because this unit was successful in the last match and to present a unified front as the storm surrounding the most recent round of allegations gathers force. England (possible) 1 Andrew Strauss (capt), 2 Steve Davies (wk), 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Ian Bell, 5 Paul Collingwood, 6 Eoin Morgan, 7 Michael Yardy, 8 Tim Bresnan, 9 Graeme Swann, 10 Stuart Broad, 11 James Anderson Pakistan (probable) 1 Kamran Akmal (wk), 2 Mohammad Hafeez, 3 Asad Shafiq, 4 Mohammad Yousuf, 5 Fawad Alam, 6 Umar Akmal, 7 Shahid Afridi, 8 Abdul Razzaq, 9 Umar Gul, 10 Saeed Ajmal, 11 Shoaib Akhtar “They’ve been three very hard-fought cricket matches. There certainly seems to be passion on both sides, they’ve been high intensity affairs.” Despite the most recent round of allegations, England captain Andrew Strauss suggests he’s been given the impression of three keenly-contested games

| Chinese Farmers to Dance in the Streets Over Tax Savings of….140 Yuan Posted: 20 Sep 2010 02:27 AM PDT
The Chinese Agriculture Ministry calculation shows that Chinese farmers will be able to save about 140 yuan ($17.5) this year as a result of tax savings. Do you think the farmers are getting naked and dancing on the tables? China has reduced the annual tax burden of the rural farmers by 100 billion yen ($12.3 billion). But, when you divide that by the 900 million farmers, it doesn’t amount to much for each family. The Chinese government has given subsidies to its farmers but, with so many farmers…how much difference can the government really make? China is growing great guns on the coasts. However, even if 300 million Chinese say they have enough money or the means to make more….there are still 3 times that number suffering in poverty. China still has a long way to go. What do you think? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Actor Randy Quaid and wife, Evi have been arrested for allegedly squatting the house they use to live before. The arrest came as a result of a complaint lodged by the owner of the house, regarding the couple living without his permission in the guesthouse.
The police officials informed that the Quaids claimed that they are the owners of the property and that they had purchased it in 1990s. On the other hand the owner's representative produced the legal documentations to prove that the property is owned by his party since 2007. The Quaids have also damaged the property in a big way. The sources claim that almost $ 5000 damages have been caused to the guesthouse. The couple has been charged with residential burglary and trespass a non-commercial building without permission. They have been set free on a bail of $ 50,000 each. Source: MSC | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Tehri Dam – Incessant Rains Cause The Rise In Water Level At The Tehri Dam Posted: 20 Sep 2010 12:23 AM PDT
Uttarakhand has been wrenched in water since past 24 hours due to heavy continuous rains in the region. 60 casualties have been reported so far. The rains have caused the floods, too.
The incessant rains have also caused the very popular Tehri dam of the region to overflow. The water level of the damn is exceeding its maximum level of 830 meter. The spill-way of the dam has been opened for the very first time because of this because if the water is not released, then it can be a major threat to the nearby villages. Rishikesh and Haridwar are also facing the rising water level after the water release from the Tehri dam. River Ganga's water level has been measured about almost two meters above the danger mark.

| Gambling Comes Around….or does it? Posted: 19 Sep 2010 10:26 PM PDT
Macao will implement a program that gives 15 years of free education to all of its kids – kindergarten through high school. About 80,000 of the 92,254 school students attending 60 private schools will benefit from the new system. Macao's government will also pony up $175 million to help improve school facilties and their services. I reckon all that income Macao is getting from gambling revenues is being put to good use. Of course, in time, the money will need to be redirected to keeping crime down, handling gamble abusers, fighting prostitution and everything else that follows casinos. Is the trade off worth it? |
