An american pen for James Bond
Jeffery Deaver, 60, a millionaire thriller writer, has been selected by Ian Fleming Publications Ltd to breath fresh life into the super-spy. Deaver, who has been hailed as "the master of ticking-bomb suspense", has written 26 novels and sold more than 20 million books worldwide. Born near Chicago, Deaver is best known for his Kathryn Dance and Lincoln Rhyme books, notably The Bone Collector, which was turned into a film starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie.
He has written short story collections and stand-alone novels including Garden Of Beasts and The Bodies Left Behind. Before turning his hand to writing books full-time, Deaver was a journalist, like Fleming, and also a lawyer. He follows in the footsteps of Sebastian Faulks, who was picked to write a Bond novel marking the centenary of Fleming's birth.

BP is trying everything from buying search result & doing an apology ad
BP, which is under fire over its role in one of the worst ecological disasters in US history, has purchased the news results in an attempt to stem the tide of criticism on internet sites such as Twitter and Facebook.
A search for the term "oil spill" may direct you to a link to BP's website with the tagline: “Learn more about how BP is helping."
An "Apology ad' is also in the air,Google Caffeine
Google Caffeine is the new search engine from its block. It promised to push the boundaries when it comes to size, indexing speed, accuracy, comprehensiveness, among other dimensions.
The Google explains:
“Our old index had several layers, some of which were refreshed at a faster rate than others; the main layer would update every couple of weeks. To refresh a layer of the old index, we would analyze the entire web, which meant there was a significant delay between when we found a page and made it available to you.
With Caffeine, we analyze the web in small portions and update our search index on a continuous basis, globally. As we find new pages, or new information on existing pages, we can add these straight to the index. That means you can find fresher information than ever before—no matter when or where it was published.”
Facts about Google Caffeine:
It processes hundreds of thousands of pages in parallel — if this were a pile of paper, it would grow three miles taller every second.
It takes up almost 100 million gigabytes of storage in one database and adds new information at a rate of hundreds of thousands of gigabytes per day — users would need 625,000 of the largest iPods to store that much information, and if those iPods were stacked end-to-end they would go for over 40 miles.
Gooooooooooogle is ahead with a Goooooooooooal
Google has caught the World Cup fever. Usually, Google celebrates a sporting or any other kind of event by replacing its logo with a doodle. However, the search giant is doing something different this time.
Whenever you search for “World Cup,” the long “Goooooooogle” logo at the bottom of the results page is replaced with another that reads “Goooooooooooal!"
