Gambhir Out and Kohli In!
Sep 11, 2009 Sports
BCCI Corporate Trophy was not a big tournament, but as it was a tournament of Board of Cricket Control in India so almost all the major players of Team India participated in it. Despite of the fact that Team is going to play for a Triangular series in Sri Lanka, the dates are so well managed by the BCCI that they need to request Sri Lankan Cricket Board to shift the program of the triangular series for one day, so that Indian players will be able to play in the BCCI Corporate Trophy.
Those who don’t remember the past incident, let me remind them, that just before the ICC Twenty-20 World Cup, almost all the major players of Team India participated in the Indian Premiere League in South Africa, and the tight schedule there caused injury to the dashing opener Virender Sehwag and he won’t be able to join the team in the World Cup. The effect was clearly seen by every one. Team India got out from the tournament so badly.
Almost the same type of incident happened this time too, it is the in form opener Gautam Gambhir who got the groin injury in BCCI Corporate Trophy and out for 10 days (at least). It will surely bring pressure on the team, while a defeat in the tournament can show them the door. At this time the unavailability of the regular opener will surely bring pressure on the middle order. Now the concern is who is going to open the innings with Sachin?
The middle order of the team India is strong enough, but if the opening pair will fail then it will surely bring immense pressure on the middle order. We do need to remember that Rahul Dravid is going to bat at the number three position after a gap of around two years, and such kind of pressure can derail our Mr. Wall too. Although BCCI sent Virat Kohli to join the team in place of Gautam Gambhir, but still we need to wait and watch the results of the todays match. One more thing Kohli was too met with a shoulder injury recently, but he played in the BCCI Corporate Trophy.

Significance of “You Lie” in US Politics!
“You Lie” the two words which has created panic in the history of US politics, was actually the outburst of the Republican Joe Wilson to the US President Barack Obama. This incident happened when Mr. President was claiming that his plan is not offering free health care to the illegal immigrants.
Although today Joe Wilson apologized for shouting on the President Obama, but his outburst just when President Obama was addressing Congress on Wednesday night is very much significant in the US Politics. Democrats believe that this incident will convert into a turning point in the history of United States politics.
The incident happened in this way: President Obama was delivering Health Care Speech in the Congress, and suddenly Joe Wilson shouted “You Lie” on him, when he explained that his health care plans are not for the illegal immigrants. Just after the incident everyone started watching Joe, while he was busy with his BlackBerry, as if he was searching the proofs in support of what he said.
The incident created panic in democrats, some one from democrats bench shouted “Shame on You” while some one asked him to throw out from the Congress. Although just when President finished his speech, Joe Wilson apologized for the shouting incident. He said that he is aware that his remark was not appropriate and really regrettable, but he was totally in disagree with the statement of the President Obama. He described his act as the lack of civility and extends sincere apologies to the President and Congress.
Although in the Congress there were many other incidents of disruption in the health care speech of Mr. President, many times republican members held up papers to represent what they had in their mind for the bill. Let’s see what would be the after affects of the incident in coming days.

Cricketing Session is back in the Sub Continent!
Sep 8, 2009 Sports
After a gap of two three months cricketing session is back in the sub continent, and this time the speciallity of the show is the fight between the Young Brigade and the Experienced Folks.
Now that we are on the verge of the Triangular One Day Series in Sri Lanka, which also includes New Zealand, and we are aware of the composition of the ODI Team, it is the right time that we should start discussing on the future prospects. I think that with the inclusion of Rahul Dravid in the team, the squad has not only got its required strength but also the credibility factor in it.
At least now we can be sure of that the players won’t fall like a deck of cards and there is someone to hold one end of the crease! The wall is back and so has the stability. But now we have to wait and watch as to how well he performs. I hope he repeats his performance of the IPL2 session!
Although Indian team reached to the finals of many tournament in Sri Lanka during last 11 years, but they won’t be able to win any of them. Due to rain once they became the co-winner. Can Team India be able to win the final of the triangular cup this time? Remember team India is just 2 matches away from the number one ICC ODI rankings and if they can be able to win both the matches of the triangular series, they will reach to the finals too.
So enjoy watching the cricket matches, you can watch them online at http://cricket.inewsindia.com and along with you can get the updates from the Cricket Updates and Cricket News sites.

I am really excited to tell you the news which excited me very much. Windows Phones are hitting the market on the 6th October 2009. Microsoft announced day before Yesterday that they are going to launch the new, stylish and high end Windows Mobile Phone on the 6th of October of this year. It makes me happy that now I can have the option of some dashing mobile phones to choose from.
Microsoft has now officially announced that in the region of North America, the official carriers will consist of the mobile giants like AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Bell Mobility, and TELLUS. On the other hand mobile phone manufactures for the North America region are the giants like HP, HTC, Samsung, Toshiba, and LG.

Along with the duty of manufacturer is distributed among LG, Samsung and HTC.

And on the other hand for the same region the duty of phone manufacturer has been allotted to HTC, LG, Acer, Sony Ericsson, Samsung and Toshiba.
As we know that one of the best region for mobile phones is Europe, so considering them Microsoft has chosen Vodafone Group and Deutsche Telekom AG along with Orange as the mobile operators while the mobile phone manufacturers for the Europe Zone are Sony Ericsson, LG, Samsung, LG, HTC, and Toshiba.
Microsoft really researched a lot before announcing the launch of the Windows phone popularly known as Windows Mobile 6.5. Most importantly they went through out the globe to meet people who are really serious to purchase a smart phone in coming days and then they found that many people are not satisfied from the quality of the mobile phone which they are using at the moment. As per them around 15 million people are there only in US market who are really looking towards purchasing a smart phone by coming year.
The research of Microsoft revealed that around 75% of people were giving Productivity as the top most features on their smart phone. Thus Microsoft has developed a very high end user interface, a very touch friendly and handy. The features of Windows mobile include the improvement in notifications and updates from emails. The mobile will come with the latest version of Internet Explorer web browser, which is actually getting serious threat from the Chrome browser of Google and Mozilla Firefox. So the move will surely give some popularity to the world’s most used web browser IE.
Windows mobile will have the latest technology in the My Phone section which is completely free service and will include the feature like save your data in case of a mobile theft or loss. The mobile will also have the Windows Marketplace, which can be used for the download of different types of features and applications.
Most surprising and rather interestingly Microsoft is launching different types of mobile phones at the same time, depending on the variety of need and taste. Also the different types of Windows mobile phone will take care of different price range, so it can be available for different budgets range. Company will provide lots of options to the buyer, like the hand sets with or without touch screen or keyboards. Also buyer will have the option of choosing high resolution camera, GPS, or accelerometer. I am really very much excited after hearing this news.
