This is a test document. I can be bold, italic or both. To underline I need to be none.

Let us see what this hijk means. Oh, yeah. That adds color. But is that all? what is the next button? That highlights, I guess. But not nice.

The myth of the new India
Pankaj Mishra’s Op-Ed in New York Times The Myth of the New India though has some very valid issues of concern in modern India, is largely couched in a language that is nothing but fearmongering.

BBC Radio program on Ancient city of Musiri
This week Aubrey Manning goes in search of the ancient town of Muziris on the South Western coast of India. Muziris is mentioned in local Tamil texts dating from the 4th Century as an important trading town with the Romans. It was famous during Roman times because it was a stopping point for merchant traders travelling from the Mediterranean to the East to exchange goods.
Piracy will get you ten years while child pornography only seven
The Inquirer reports the details of the current draft of new DMCA awaiting legislation.(Piracy worse than child pornography).
“For example assaulting a police officer will get you five years, downloading child porn will get you seven years, assaulting without a weapon will get you ten years and aggravated assault six years.
So in other words if you copy a Disney CD and sell it you will be in the same league as a paedophile who is distributing pictures of sexual attacks on children.
If you copy Craig David’s CD you get ten years, but if you punch him in the face and pummel him into a seven day coma you will only get six. You are more likely to get the respect of the prison population with your six year sentence as well.”
Greed knows no limt.
BBC’s new experiments with content and distribution
Guardian reports that BBC website is in for a major revamp, shortly. BBC unveils radical revamp of website.
Great! In the copyright dominated world, BBC stands out and the present administration is experimenting various strategies for sharing contents - in as many ways as possible. I am fully aware that most of these BBC’s efforts will be restricted to UK only. (As it is run by direct license fee from its viewers in UK). But, I still hope BBC suceeds in its experiments for it may propel other media megaliths to free content - at least to some extent.
BBC will rebrand and introduce a new iPlayer for downloading the content, Guardian says. I hope they also release versions of iPlayers for other platform like Mac and Linux.

Paint-on laser could rescue computer chip industry
But this isn’t a laser in the stereotypical sense — no corded, clunky boxes projecting different coloured lights. In fact, Professor Ted Sargent, of the Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, carries a small vial of the paint used to make this laser in his briefcase — it looks like diluted ink.
