In May, working group Article 29, made up from data protection commissioners from around the EU, wrote to Google expressing particular concern over the length of time personally identifiable data was being retained on the company's servers. It said the search engine's policy did not appear "to meet the requirements of the European legal data protection framework". In a response to this, Google's global privacy counsel Peter Fleischer responded: "We are committed to data protection principles that meet the expectations of our users in Europe and across the globe." He said that Google believed their current policy complied with data protection law, but admitted a shorter period of data retention than existed at present was possible. Mr Fleischer wrote: "After considering the working ...

I was watching a cartoon serial “pocoyo” with my 2 year old son………he loves it. Suddenly I went into my own world and though of “Pingu”, I don’t clearly remember on what channel or what time it use to come on tele, but I remember how all of sudden pingu use to appear on the tele (in India). I loved those little clips of pingu. Never understood what they are talking, but their acting made everything so clear to understand. They walk and talk choooo chweetly. Now that when I am back into my childhood days I will definitely get the DVD of pingu and watch it. Few days back I saw all the 3 movies of Sherk…...again just ...

Speculation has been rife as to what British Prime Minister Tony Blair is going to do when he steps down from office later this month. Nobody would have predicted that he would try his luck in Bollywood.

Preity was hilarious on Koffee with Karan. I probably never laughed this much on any of the KWK episodes till now. She is truly a gem of a person….lucky Ness Wadia! Her expressions and the way she express herself is wonderful. Lager than life character we can call her. She’s so good with her “aa, tu, ta, dishum” stuff that it makes you laugh and laugh. She was looking gorgeous no doubt, but she has put on weight………close-up of her face was showing chubby chicks, “Pyarr ka kamal” may be. Memorable moments. when I went Ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaa…..that’s how I usually love to laugh. Karan: Great! So? so much work happening no time for love?Preity: (Laughing) Accha! ...

Finally, It is decided that Graham Ford will be India's new coach. The seven-man committee took just an hour to decide who should be India's next coach. The committee that took the decision comprised of secretary Niranjan Shah, joint-secretary MP Pandove, treasurer N Srinivasan apart from former captains Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri and S Venkatraghavan. Ford had an edge over Emburey as he was the favourite among the senior members of the Indian team apart from Gavasker who was in the favour of John Emburey. Ford has already been warned by John Wright (Team India coach from 2000 to 2005) to ready for cultural shock.   History of Graham Ford In 1992, he became coach of South Africa's domestic Natal side and then he took over ...

Blimey! I am Gobsmacked, just kept looking at the picture. Go on you can also take a very close look… its no morphing… its real Ekta Kapoor flaunting her assets. Everything is intact, I mean tilak, boobs and black colour dress, but where’s the bloody bra? Is she trying to be Janet Jackson or just age taking over her? I wonder who will play the role of Justin Timberlake to pop out those sexy “nip tucks”. May be Mukesh Ambani (her confession on KWK). Can somebody please remind her she is in India? Is she really sooooooo desperate? Any suggestions!! Sunita Menon.

Happy Birthday Dear Dimple and Shilpa Shetty. I will not mention their ages, as it is said “you should never ask a lady how old she is” we are always young and 19. I loved most of Dimple’s movie, particularly her Art movies. I think after Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil, Dimple is the one who is good at art movies. Shilpa, I loved all her dance numbers and yeah she was very good in movies Dhadkan, Phir Milenge and Life in a Metro. Can’t remember anything else but yeah she dance very good. I am posting her one sexy looking sexy number with Sanjay Dutt. This is my all time favourite, she is looking very hot in it, infact Sanjay is looking very ...

Well here we go again (racism), but this time Big Brother saved there ass long before it could get in trouble. I guess they don’t want any controversies like they had when our so tough Shilpa Shetty was in Big brother house. So this time when one of the house mate “Emily” used the word “Niger” for Charley, she was straightaway removed from the show. This in result cancels the Friday eviction. In a statement Channel 4 said: 'Contestant Emily Parr was removed from the Big Brother house in the early hours of this morning after using a racially offensive word to a fellow housemate. All of this started when Emily was dancing with Charley and ...
