Google wins the case

Internet search giant Google has won a cybersquatting case at the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) against an Indian who had tried to block the domain name 'googblog.com'. According to the information available with the WIPO, Geneva-based WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center has ordered the transfer of domain name to the US-based search giant after Herit Shah of Gujarat offered to surrender the disputed name to Google. Google had challenged the registering of domain name 'googblog.com' by Shah at WIPO stating that it was confusingly similar to its trademark on which the company has rights. Cybersquatting is an illegal activity of buying and officially recording an address on the internet that is the name of an existing company or a well-known person, with the intention of selling it to the owner in order to make money. As per the information available with the WIPO, Google filed the complaint against Shah on March 26 this year. However, the disputed name has been registered by Shah since September 25, 2008. WIPO is a specialised agency of the United Nations for developing a balanced and accessible international system in the field of intellectual property rights.

M.Phil holders have to clear NET/SLET

M.Phil holders will now have to clear National Eligibility Test (NET) or State Level Eligibility Test (SLET) for take up lectureship.

Narmmadaa Ahuja,Govinda's daughter in bollywood

Narmmadaa Ahuja, daughter of actor-politician Govinda, is about to make her film debut. and she could well become No.1 in bollywood. for this, daddy has reportedly got the director and producer who gave him hits like Coolie No. 1 and Hero No. 1 — David Dhawan and Vashu Bhagnani, though Sanjay Leela Bhansali had been his first choice. The male lead in this film is expected to be Shahid Kapur.Ever since, there has been speculation that Govinda’s beautiful daughter Narmmadaa Ahuja would enter Bollywood. Putting rumours to rest, it’s now clear that the girl will soon follow her dad’s footsteps into the world of cinema.

Narmmadaa is said to be a bubbly and spunky girl, full of enthusiasm and go-getter spirit.She unintentionally created quite a stir when she escorted Salman Khan during the IIFA Awards a year ago.Narmmadaa (or Narmada before she changed the spelling as per numerology) had sent the gossip mills into an overdrive when she appeared as Salman Khan’s arm candy at IIFA last year. Some reports called her reason for a Sallu-Kat tiff. But now she is making news for the right reasons

Though she carries off Indian as well as western looks and styles almost effortlessly, she might best fit in a glamour girl image. What’s more! The girl has already been signed by a famous producer, whose name will be revealed only next week.

Meanwhile, numerologist Niraj Mancchanda (who has added the extra ‘m’ and ‘a’ in Narmmadaa’s name) says, “Watch out for her. She will get a lot of offers after August.” Let’s see if his crystal ball of numbers creates more magic.

Narmmadaa shares her birthday with Katrina Kaif on July 16. She is 1988 born. “Her 22nd year would be an average phase for her. She will be getting offers but she won’t be in the right frame of mind to decide anything. She should immediately wear a yellow sapphire for better focus and finding the right direction,” suggest Sangghvi.

Then wait and just watch what this babe has to offer to bollywood

The Presidential Options

We pride ourselves at being a Parliamentary democracy, but now more than ever before there are so many hinges on the role of the President. With results likely to be down to the wire, who will the President call to form a government?
President Pratibha Patil has been in touch with legal experts but individual parties are also consulting legal and constitutional experts.
President Patil is all set for her first political test of neutrality. With a hung Parliament widely expected, she has three options:

Invite the single largest party
Invite the single largest pre-poll alliance
Invite the largest post-poll formation with letters of support

She has been studying what her predecessors did in similar situations.
In 1989, president Venkatraman invited the single largest party, the Congress, which declined. VP Singh then formed the National Front government with support from the Left and the BJP.
Again in 1996, when Shankar Dayal Sharma invited the single largest party, the BJP, the government lasted a mere 13 days.
However, the most pertinent precedent was in 1998. President K R Narayanan insisted Vajpayee produce letters of support before appointing him Prime minister.
Which is why the BJP's stand this week is so important. They want President Patil to invite the single largest pre-poll formation first.
"The president must call the single largest poll formation and the single largest party," said BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad in a press conference.
Not wanting to be out maneouvered by the BJP's stand, the Congress is focusing on getting letters of support, rather than wait and see who the President invites first.
"We leave it to the President," said Congress leader Kapil Sibal.
Who President Patil invites first to form the government is critical. Will it be the single largest party? In which case smaller parties could gravitate towards it. Or will she invite the largest alliance?
Constitutional experts like Rajeev Dhawan say it will be President Patil's discretion, but the prime minister must convince her that he will be able to win a vote of confidence.

Congress, BJP Step up Efforts to Woo Allies

With indications of none of the Alliance getting majority to form the next government, both Congress led UPA and BJP led NDA have began hunting for new allies to cobble up the majority mark of 272.
With Congress looking for support from estranged ally Samajwadi Party, BJP is wooing AIADMK chief J Jayalalithaa, who could emerge as a likely kingmaker in the entire exercise.
Congress too is trying to bring Jayalalithaa into the UPA fold. Jayalalithaa is still to make clear with which alliance she will be going.
The Left Parties who want to keep BJP led NDA out of power, have already said they will not create hurdles in government formation by Congress.
However, according to Left leaders, the Third Front will make all possible attempt to form a non Congress and non BJP government at Centre.
Though a final picture will be out only tomorrow, the day Lok Sabha election results are out, the exit poll predicts a hung House with a slight edge to the Congress led UPA alliance.

GM shares hit lowest point since 1930’s

Automotives

The signs of GM going bankrupt was clearly evident yesterday after shareholders sent the company crashing on the New York Stock Exchange. The company’s shares stood at $1.14 at the end of day’s trading, lowest since 1933, just as America was starting to recover from the depth of the Great Depression.
This was clearly a sign shareholders were resigning themselves to making the little they can from the shares before they become almost completely worthless, but of course, some will still hold out in the hope they avoid bankruptcy somehow which could of course revitalise the shares to some extent and could double or triple if GM was to confirm it would avoid bankruptcy (this is not a tip in any way whatsoever), like it did to an extent for Ford in the last couple of months when the air of gloom over them lifted after confirming they would not need bancruptcy protection (but their shares did get hit yesterday after raising more cash by issuing new shares thus obviously diluting the existing shareholders’ capital).
What made it even worse for GM was that some key figures in the company sold their lot. There is nothing worse for confidence when your own directors have no confidence in the company, is there?
The so called big 3 of Detroit have endured great mismanagement over the last few years, long before the current financial crisis just made things a lot worse, and in fact, for companies like Chrysler and possibly GM now, the proverbial final nail in the coffin.

Jaganmohini Vs Arundathi

Nameetha starrer 'Jaganmohini' unit is said to be working overtime with a view that the film should do better than Anoushka's 'Arundhathi'. Producer Murali has apparently instructed his crew to leave no stone unturned to ensure that the film should have graphic sequences equal to, if not better than 'Arunthadhi' which has been doing brisk business in Tamil, Telugu and Sinhalese languages.
The aim to beat Arundhati has resulted in a hike in graphics-budget, which is expected to double up and touch Rs.2 crores. The film, directed by cinematographer N.K. Viswanathan, would be a new one and would only have a solitary sequence from the earlier 'Jaganmohini' released in late seventies that starred Jayamalini

Telugu Hit Arundhati In Hindi

Telugu hit "Arundhati" is all set to be remade into Hindi and the makers wanted to cast Anushka Sharma in the title role. heroine couldn't be finalised for it because of some misconceptions.

Many producers, including Madhu Mantena, who produced "Ghajini", were vying for the Hindi remake rights. But Telugu producer M. Shyam Prasad Reddy is finally making it it in Hindi.Sonu Sood, who played the main antagonist in the Telugu version and is set to encore the same part in Hindi, confirms these developments.Priyadarshan was approached to direct "Arundhati" in Hindi but apparently he wasn't ready to accept the offer at such short notice.

Bahrain CID confirms bomb explosion

Manama: The car explosion that killed a Bahraini passenger and critically injured the driver, also a Bahraini, was caused by a home-made bomb, Brigadier Isa Al Musallam, the head of the Criminal Investigation Directorate (CID), said. "The bomb was placed next to the dead man before it exploded, resulting in one death and serious burns to the face of the second person," he said. The statement comes amid the wild speculations that engulfed the country following the announcement of the Thursday night explosion in Daih, a small village in the outskirts of Manama, the capital.
