• Bloggers, Beware: What You Write Can Get You Sued
• Google’s New Logo Look
• B'lore English dailies face newbie heat
  Among the newbies DNA(the other being Deccan Chronicle) has started of very well. I had hoped that it would replace Times as my newspaper of choice. But that hasn’t happened. Am still looking…
• Yahoo! India Buzz
• RunPee
  Picks the best time in a movie to head to the bathroom and let’s you know what happened while you were there.
  This is what the interweb was made for.
• Fake IPL Player: FIP RIP
  This final post(a video one) was supposed to be the big reveal but I think the consequences (and the gains to be made by remaining anonymous) stopped him. I see a book and maybe a proper column next time around.
• TAM Data Says CNN IBN Was Most Watched As Poll Results Unfolded
  I thought NDTV had the better ’stats’ ticker at the bottom though their maps were horrible. They probably also annoyed their viewers by the constant chatter even though it was light-hearted. They had the advantage of having more recognisable faces while IBN and Times Now had to hold fort with just Rajdeep and Arnab.
• Photos – Russia observes Victory Day

  Don’t really know what to make of this…it will be hard to shake off all that conditioning…

  Its definitely not in the same space as Google. Not sure where to place it though and whether it will be useful.
• Lens Blog
  A photoblog thing from the NY Times.
• Someone’s Gunning For Anil Ambani
  There is a sinister, little-known precursor to the chopper sabotage incident.
  Also – Ambani chopper case: Borge's death not a suicide
  This reads like one of those masala fiction novels.
• Presenting World's First Diet Air Coolers: Diet Tv Commercial
  Like the ad for some reason. Wonder who wrote the copy.
• Iyer Matter
  Found myself linking to more than one post here so thought I’ll link to whole blog instead.
• Q&A: Obama on Dick Cheney, War and Star Trek
• WordPress Version 2.8

  This morning in the NDTV studio, Mukul Kesavan and I thought of a new acronym for Modi’s brand of politics: DAD.
  It stands for Death And Development.
