Team India ride roughshod over hapless Pakistan - Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s men end arch-rivals’ 12-match winning streak
Dhaka: India snapped Pakistan’s 12-match winning streak by inflicting a crushing 140-run defeat in the second match of the one-day tri-series at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium on Tuesday.
An allround performance ensured an Indian victory as their batsmen and bowlers fired in unison to stop Pakistan’s march. It was also India’s biggest win in terms of runs versus Pakistan.
Indians, having elected to bat, piled up a massive 330 for eight, thanks to a stupendous batting by the top-order.
Openers Virender Sehwag (89) and Gautam Gambhir (62) hit sparkling half-centuries and shared an amazing 155-run partnership to lay a strong foundation for the big total.
Pakistan, in reply, were bundled out for 190 in just 35.4 overs, giving India their biggest win against them.
Skipper Shoaib Malik waged a lone battle with his 53-run knock and did not find any able ally at the other end.
Praveen Kumar (4/53) spoiled Pakistan’s run-chase as he rocked their batting line-up by claiming three quick wickets, including two off consecutive balls. Young spinner Piyush Chawla also returned with figures of four for 40.
Pakistan were tottering at 26 for three inside the first five overs after Praveen scalped Salman Butt (9), Younis Khan (0) and Mohammed Yousuf (11), sending shock waves through their top-order.
However, Praveen was creamed for 17 runs in the ninth over of the innings when Kamran Akmal, who looked in sublime touch, and Misbah-ul Haq reeled off four boundaries to take the score to 58 for three.
Akmal (38) then hit Praveen for a big six but the Uttar Pradesh bowler had the last laugh when he sent him back. The wicketkeeper-batsman mistimed a low full toss and ended up being caught at mid-on by Yusuf Pathan, who made his ODI debut.
Misbah (24) too joined Akmal in the dressing room when teen sensation Ishant Sharma beat him with a pacy and rising delivery and induced an edge, taken comfortably by Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
The big burden of climbing the run-mountain then fell on the shoulders of skipper Malik and out of form Shahid Afridi as the asking rate soared up to seven an over.
A much-needed partnership once again eluded the Pakistan side as Afridi (23) succumbed to over-aggression, failing to build on a good start.
It was a matter of formality from here as Pakistan’s hopes ended with Afridi’s wicket.
Earlier, India’s top order fired in unison to help them amass 330 for eight. After Sehwag and Gambhir stitched a 155-run opening stand in just over 21 overs, India seemed set for a 350-plus score but they subsequently lost part of the momentum.
Umar Gul was the pick of the Pakistan attack, claiming three for 61 in his 10 overs.
Wahab Riaz, who was disallowed to complete his quota of 10 overs because he fired two beamers at the Indian batsmen, and Shahid Afridi, claimed two wickets each.
Pakistan cut a sorry figure as a fielding unit with Younis Khan twice dropping Gambhir when the batsman was on four and 29, respectively.

Google IO 2008 - Opensocial, a Standard for the Social Web
From: chanezon, 1 day ago
OpenSocial is an open specification defining a common API that works on many different social websites, including MySpace, Plaxo, Hi5, Ning, orkut, Salesforce.com and LinkedIn, among others. This allows developers to learn one API, then write a social application for any of those sites: Learn once, write anywhere.
In addition, in order to make it easier for developers of social sites to implement the API and make their site an OpenSocial container, the Apache project Shindig provides reference implementations for OpenSocial containers in two languages (Java, PHP). Shindig will define a language specific Service Provider Interface (SPI) that a social site can implement to connect Shindig to People, Persistence and Activities backend services for the social site. Shindig will then expose these services as OpenSocial JavaScript and REST APIs.
In this session we will explain what OpenSocial is, show examples of OpenSocial containers and applications, demonstrate how to create an OpenSocial application, and explain how to leverage Apache Shindig in order to implement an OpenSocial container.

Google Phone (Android) Demo Of Streetview With Compass
via Planet MySQL by Artem Russakovskii on 5/31/08
I think this is going to be really neat: you walk around the streets of San Francisco, for example, with your Android powered phone, en route to your destination 20 blocks away.
You whip out your phone, go to Google Maps, pull up the StreetView (remember this?), which zeroes in on your location using a built-in GPS, and then changes as you move the phone around using the built-in compass.
You then virtually walk the city, looking around, without actually moving an inch (looking for the closest ATM, restaurant, etc, hint-hint?).
Without further ado, let's have a look at this video from Google's I/O Conference for a demonstration?
This video is really the 2nd part in a series but it was the most interesting one. Part 1 follows for the curious:
Visual voicemail and slide zoom touch interface from Apple, compass from Google, … from Sun? What's next? My Sprint contract is up and I am definitely looking forward to Q3 and Q4 of this year!

Starting Your Own Website by Cheryl A. Crossan.
Everyday thousands of new people are looking for online business opportunities. When they first start, one of the most common mistakes they make is signing up for every opportunity that they find until they don't even know what they are promoting. Consequently, they don't make any money, and usually lose money in the process.
You can’t make money without a website. I just can’t say that enough.
Otherwise, you'll probably end up in an MLM that will usually require you to buy something and then will have you running all over the net looking for advertising for THEM. This is not a deal. What you want are partners that do not charge you to join, that you can advertise and send people to your website to see the advertising. If you get quality products, people will link to your partners and you’ll get a commission after buying. You don’t sell the product, you don’t take the orders, you don’t handle invoices. etc. You lead your customers to quality things they want to buy. You can also sign up for any of the thousands of "mini sites" available and put your link on your site to advertise it.
