CWG: India retains second spot

India scooped up a bagful of three gold and as many silver and bronze medals to firmly remain in second spot behind leaders Australia in the Commonwealth Games on Thursday.

The three gold medals were garnered by the 25m and 10m men pistoliers with Gurpreet Singh being the common factor in both these pairs while Geeta grabbed the first gold in women’s wrestling.

Gurpreet joined hands with Vijay Kumar to rake in the gold medal in the 25m Rapid Fire Pistol (pairs) event before combining well with Omkar Singh to clinch the 10m air pistol (pairs) title to become a double gold winner.

The shooting gold medals provided by the men’s pistol wielders took the country’s overall gold tally from the Dr Karni Singh range to 14, showing how much the marksmen and women have contributed in keeping India’s flag flying high.

Grappler Geeta trounced her rival Emily Bensted of Australia in the 55 kg category final. She entered the gold medal round by defeating Lovina Odohi Edward of Nigeria, but her teammate — 63kg grappler Suman Kundu — lost in the semi-finals.

Men’s double trap shooting ace Ronjon Sondhi got a silver medal along with the men’s archery compound team and women’s 48kg freestyle grappler Nirmala Devi.

The three bronze medals came in archery (women’s team compound event), 77kg weightlifter Sudhir Kumar and Ashish Kumar, in men’s gymnastics (floor exercise).

The day’s haul of eight medals boosted India’s overall tally to 14-11-8 and on course to their pre-Games target of achieving the runner-up spot behind overwhelming favourites Australia.

Australia were way ahead of the rest with 27-16-14 while England lagged behind in third place (8-15-10).

India struck gold early on the fourth day when marksmen Vijay Kumar and Gurpreet Singh clinched the 25m Rapid Fire Pistol (pairs) event before the men’s and women’s archery teams added to the medal tally with a silver and a bronze.

Kumar and Gurpreet together fired 1162 to bag the top prize in the pistol event ahead of Malaysia’s Amir Hasan Hasli Izwan and Adzha Hafiz (1142) and Australian bronze medal winning duo of Bruce Quick and David Chapman (1125).

The Indian men’s compound team lost to England by two points (229-231) in the gold medal-deciding match while the women defeated Malaysia by four points (223-219) in the corresponding event’s bronze play-off tie. These were the first two medals for the country from the archery range.

The other two bronze medals were claimed by men’s 77kg weightlifter Sudhir Kumar and gymnast Ashish Kumar, an unexpected one, in the floor exercise.

Indian challenge continued to remain strong in table tennis, tennis and badminton.

The women’s team made it to the final of the table tennis championship by defeating England in the semi finals.

Men’s tennis top seed Somdev Devvarman inched closer to a medal in the singles with a 6-3 6-4 win over sixth seed Rubin Statham of New Zealand.

Ace Indian shuttlers Chetan Anand and Saina Nehwal notched up contrasting wins as India thrashed Canada 3-0 to set up a semifinal clash with England in the mixed badminton team event.

Mixed doubles pair of Jwala Gutta and V Diju just took 19 minutes to make short work of NG Toby and Gao Grace 21-8 21-12 in the first match of the day to give India a 1-0 lead.

Saina then sealed the issue in India’s favour with a 21-16 21-13 victory over her one-time doubles partner Anna Rice in the women’s singles.

Swimming pool woes

But glitches continued to dog the Games with the organisers confronted with the problem of several swimmers, mostly from the England contingent, complaining of pool-related sickness.

Commonwealth Games Federation chief Michael Fennell and Organising Committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi promised an inquiry and a solution by Thursday.

“We are ensuring that the water quality is tested. We don’t have specific reports about illnes. We must find this out immediately. We have to deal with it. It needs some urgency,” Mr. Fennell said, while responding to a query whether they would postpone the day’s finals.

Asked whether water at the Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Acquatics Complex was contaminated, Mr. Fennell said: “Let’s not speculate. These are being investigated, though we are yet to get specific reports from swimming.”

According to reports, almost two thirds of the British swimming squad have been hit hard by a “Delhi belly”, with leading English swimmer Francesca Halsall falling ill during an event that she was tipped to win.

The Aussies are not spared either with a dozen swimmers including several international stars have fallen ill after stomach bug with the water at the Acquatics Complex being blamed.

Microsoft to power Yahoo search

Yahoo has completed the migration of its web and mobile search functions to Microsoft's Bing search engine as the two companies hope that their combined market power may prove a more significant threat to the dominance of Google.

The integration comes more than a year after Yahoo and Microsoft announced their 10-year search deal under which Microsoft will power Yahoo's search site, while Yahoo manages sales for both companies' premium search advertisers.

"This is a great milestone for Bing and Yahoo and our customers, and we are happy to report the transition has gone smoothly and we feel great about the progress our search alliance has been making over the summer," wrote Satya Nadella, senior vice president of Microsoft's online services division, in a blog post.

According to recently published data, Yahoo and Microsoft have a combined 28 per cent share of the US search market, while Google has a roughly 66 per cent share.

Yahoo expects the deal to save it the high cost of developing its own cutting edge search capability, while combining the two companies' customers is expected to entice advertisers to pay more for paid search ads.

New Apple iPod Touch might be coming out on September 7

Industry sources are stating that Apple is scheduled to hold a media event on September 7.

The timing is pretty much spot on for the launch of the next generation Apple iPod Touch.

This new edition is expected to borrow a lot of new features from the iPhone 4 like the new Retina display and the FaceTime functionality.

Apple of course does not talk about any of their future product launches.

We might also see the launch of the much rumored USD 99 Apple iTV that could be based on a version of the Apple iOS.

Things are going to get interesting again!

3-Idiots in Tamil

Another going to be much hyped film of the year, the remake of Hindi ‘3 Idiots’, is taking shape as Shankar who is directing this bilingual is ready after completing his ‘Endhiran’. With a lot of imaginations already flowing from all corners it became clearer yesterday when Gemini Film Circuit finally confirmed that Shankar will be in charge of the south Indian remakes.

Immediately after signing the project director Shankar went to Vijay and confirmed him for the Aamir Khan's role. Then Madhavan was confirmed for the same role he played in Hindi version. But there is still news saying Madhavan is not interested to do the role again. Whether he will be able to say no to a Shankar film is a question. For the third main lead Silambarasan aka STR is confirmed. Initially Jeeva was pushed to do this role but Shaknar has opted for STR.

In Telugu, as per news available till now, Mahesh Babu will replace Vijay and Madhavan and STR are being retained for the Telugu also. And for music Shankar may have to leave A R Rahman out as he will be busy on his 'Jai Ho' World Tour all this year. Sources say Shankar has settled for Yuvan Shankar Raja this time.

Another high profile film in the making.

Laptop at very very low cost

By 2011, the newbies who wish to try their hands on computers would get funding of 50 percent on the purchase of each product. The Government of India has planned to reduce the price of the computer by Rs.4800. This initiative is undertaken as an element of National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology. It is an effort to offer the high definition interactive education.

The Centre purports that these laptops would be offered at such a low price because they are a source of spreading literacy via technological methods. This mode of education would help create the awareness among the masses. The laptops are really going to see a huge drop in price.

Under the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), connectivity is projected to be offered to 504 universities and 25,000 colleges throughout India.

It has the following features:
It has single unit system which has a touch screen.
It has a keyboard which is in-built.
It consists of 2 GB RAM memory.
It comprises of wifi connectivity and USB port.
It is operated by a 2 watt system so that it can even perform in areas where power supply is low.
The laptop uses Linux system.

This project was a result of discussions on this project with a group of experts at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras and IIT Bombay by the human resource development ministry. The human resource development ministry would send out these laptops. This product is expected to bring bright prospect for learners.

Initially, when the low priced laptop were being planned to introduce, the officials ruled out that its price would be around Rs.500. But, now it would be almost three times the price that was estimated earlier.

The Rs.1500 Laptop has additional features such as:
Video web conferencing facility,
Multimedia content viewer for example pdf, jpeg, zip, etc,
Computing capabilities such as Open Office, SciLab and
Internet browsing with flash plug-in, JavaScript.

Though, it is priced low, there may be some drawbacks such as the gadget may not be larger than normal laptop. The other drawback that the laptop has is that it does not have a hard disc. But, even this can be resolved as the add-on memory can be utilized in the laptop. Though, the computer lacks high capacity of memory but a user can take additional memories.
