Letters: Sachin's best century
Sachin Tendulkar scored his best century on the day he completed 20 years in international cricket. By telling the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) that he was an Indian first and a Maharashtrian later, Tendulkar has made several points. He has, of course, snubbed the MNS, but he has also told top professionals that they need to stand up and be counted. Just recently, Karan Johar apologised for calling Mumbai “Bombay” in a movie — while Johar and others fear the MNS will burn cinema halls showing their movies, Sachin has no such fear since the MNS can never hope to succeed in preventing fans from watching Sachin play. Interestingly, during the Mumbai riots, it was the original Little Master Sunil Gavaskar who used his stature in a similar manner to prevent mobs from killing Muslims.

Google routes World Bank data to fact seekers

Google is adding World Bank figures to Internet results in a bid to make hard facts about countries worldwide easier to find. - Google to acquire AdMob for $750 mn - Discover your Plan B - Choosing the right technique - Internet body petitions CCI on telephony - Google world"s most attractive employer - Google world"s most attractive employer, Microsoft is next A "public data" feature launched about six months ago with continually updated US population and employment figures will now also include World Bank numbers, Google search team product manager Ola Rosling told AFP yesterday. For example, online searches for fertility rates in Europe or the gross domestic product of Somalia now trigger results pages topped with links to World Bank data presented in interactive charts for easy comparisons. "There is a lot of noise in results for those that want to get to the raw data and not interpretations of the data," Rosling said. "This is a first baby step toward solving the enormous problem of making numbers easier to find. "Google added 17 World Development Indicators including child mortality rates; carbon dioxide emissions per capita; life expectancy; military expenditures, and economic data. People, businesses or governments can link online to Google public data charts or embed them in websites. "Our plan is to add a huge amount of sources," Rosling said. "Eventually, we would like to have all of these data sources well organised." "A challenge to the growth of the fact-finding search service is that a lot of public data has yet to be made available on the Internet," according to Google.
