BREAKING NEWS: Kumble & Pointing sit across the table for a peaceful discussion
BREAKING NEWS: Petrol prices to rise
BREAKING NEWS: एक आदमी ने ट्रेन के सामने कोशिश किया खुद्खुशी
These are just a few among the list of News items which Indian Television Media (especially News Channels like Aaj Tak & India TV) portray as BREAKING NEWS. I guess these Media companies should be explained by what is meant by Breaking News.
News items like World Trade Centre bombing, Benazir Bhutto's assasination, any major Natural or Human disasters which globally attracts attention should definitely come under the category of Breaking News. Even Local News which affects the country in a drastic manner can come under this category.
I feel with Television Media getting more attention these days, they have found a cheap way of increasing the TRP ratings. Don't you think so ???
Cricket & Internet: Comedy of all sorts

I am posting an extract from Rediff Message Board (© Rediff.com) on the same discussion. Enjoy it !!!!!

Translate it
I know I might be talking about something which many of you from the Cyber Space already know about - Google's Translation Services. But this post is meant for those few people about this interesting feature from Google.
Many a times you might receive a document which is written in some other language. Rather than carrying a prinout of the same to a professional translator why not use Google's free Translation services. Just visit http://translate.google.com , paste your content under the section "Original Text", select which language translation is required (English to Spanish, Portugese to English, etc.) & click on "Translate". On the right hand side of your screen you will fid the translated text. If you don't know in which language the original content has been written in, you have to use the trial & error method & check if the translated takes makes some sense.
I thought of posting this because sometimes a refresher course in any topic becomes a great help for few people. So enjoy Translating !!!!!

My New Year Resolution - "Get Rid of Wires"
There's something new you would find when you enter my flat from 1st Jan 2008. Guess what, its now a Wi-Fi Zone. After a lot of thinking, I finally invested Rs.1930 on a Wi-Fi Router & believe me it was worth going for the technology.
I just went to my favourite shop at Lamington Road, Cassette World, saw some avaialble Wi-Fi brands available in the market & finally settled for the NetGear WG614v7 Wi-Fi Router. Why NetGear ?..... coz it was cheaper as compared to the others & had also found people on the Net using the same.
Back home I unpacked the Box & connected the cables as per the instructions. Setting up the Wi-FI Router hardly took any time for me. Probably because I am Computer Netwoking & Information Security Professional. I already had a ADSL Broadband connection from MTNL & hence I already had their ADSL Modem. My job was to just integrate my existing Desktop, Laptop, Wi-Fi Router (also a 4 Port Switch) & the ADSL Modem.
Within half an hour I had my Home Network along with the Wi-Fi Network set. Rest entire day was spent on doing R&D on the Wi-Fi Router, a thing which I do with any brand new electronic device entering my premises.
From yesterday I am enjoying this new freedom at home, the freedom to access Internet without the hassles of managing numerous cables......
