Really Government and Commonwealth Games committee has lots to explain to the people...

Formula 1 is gearing towards an exciting competition between Hamilton, Webber, Vettel with some surprise elements who can pitch in any time or in at least any single race disturbing the very momentum... just 4 points gap between Hamilton and Webber, its going to be an all out game of lead building...

Blackberry issue with the governments in India, UAE, Saudi Arabia and its Canadian provider... ideally the federal authority of state should control, regulate and access information in todays highly complex world... with our world getting more and more unsafe place to live in, it seems right as a matter of opinion and public policy that Government should know things as they need to for the better good of our society and humanity as a whole... but we need to pause here and think its a thin line of trust, privacy and control that needs to be simultaneously addressed...

A very good article on an interactive adhoc query system "Dremel" from Google Labs as suggested by one of my colleague... overall its interesting and a good read...
