Hey, did I click on hot-male.com?

Cyber squatters are opening ‘spoof’ travel sites mimicking real ones

It should come as no surprise that the online travel market has become the buzzword among cyber squatters. Cyber squatters have developed phantom travel sites (similar to genuine ones) to reap benefit out of this $2 billion worth segment. Cyber squatters are developing sites that are similar to generic sites (like indiatimestravel.com for travel.indiatimes.com and mytripyatra.com for makemytrip.com and yatra.com) in order to bluff the users. They further charge an exorbitant price and also provide sub-standard packages.

The story of clones, one guesses, has just started. A spoof site, ‘webcameron.info’ was developed within two days of the launch of ‘Webcameron.org.uk’, that featured the speeches and vision statements of United Kingdom’s Conservative leaders. Even Liberal Democrat MP Mark Oaten was a victim of cyber squatting as his rival hacked his site ‘markoaten.co.uk’ and directed users to his own site, thus stealing potential voters.....continue

China torched on Darfur front

Sudan's biggest arms supplier is silent on the atrocities

Global heavyweights singing the anti-China chorus – China torched on Darfur frontvciting the Dragon's Olympian disregard for human rights – have found yet another explosive premise to stump it with. After the Tibetans used the excuse of the Olympics to keep their free-Tibet Torch blazing, their supporters complain that China's stance on the Darfur conflict equally merits global condemnation. China is being accused of "abetting genocide in Darfur" – no less – causing the UN military presence there to suffer the jitters.

The save-Darfur drive – promoted under the banner of Genocide Olympics – has won scores of celebrity endorsements, including those of Hollywood star Mia Farrow and former Olympic swimmers Shannon Shakespeare and Nikki Dryden. They have all mailed an "open letter" to Chinese President Hu Jintao, signed by eight Nobel laureates, 13 Olympic athletes and 46 parliamentarians. This is a charge that China is finding even harder to rebut, than the one it faces in Tibet. For the Dragon does have enormous influence on the Khartoum government, being its principal arms supplier. Amnesty International USA says China sold Sudan weapons, aircraft and spare parts worth $83 million in 2005 for its proxy invasions of Chad. (That is the latest year for which figures are available.) China buys about two-thirds of Sudan's oil exports, and nearly 70% of the latter's oil revenues go to its murderous military force.....Continue

Government effort to tackle communalism lacks credibility

The major bone of contention in the proposed bill is section 55, which will grant the Centre a right to deploy central paramilitary forces and the army to ‘communally Government effort to tackle communalism lacks credibilitydisturbed areas’.

The government needs to realise that the need of the hour is that our laws begin to cater to domestic as well as international demands. The International Criminal Court or ICCt (India is not a member) is empowered to deal directly against the individuals found guilty of the crimes against humanity. If our government fails to devise adequate legislation to punish the guilty indulging in sectarian violence, sooner or later the ICCt will pose a challenge to our sovereignty. That would be a moment of acute and shameful embarrassment for our nation.

Indian gravy?


Compared to the IAF and the Army, Indian Navy is a little more poised. With an array of frigates, destroyers, aircraft carriers and submarines to be inducted in the next one decade, the Indian Navy would truly have a formidable blue water capability in some years to come. With three Talwar class frigates already inducted, three more on order with Russia, the production of Scorpene submarines having already started and INS Ghorshkov slated to join in 2009, and even with the purchase of amphibious ship USS Trenton, the navy truly is now getting the right kind of attention that it deserved for long.

Yet, it has is own set of problems. Its Sea King helicopters and reconnaissance fleet of Tu-142 is fast depleting. What is badly needed are the P-3C Orion type planes. INS Virat is barely surviving and the navy’s submarine capability is next to nothing when compared to that of China’s. And though its ships are being inducted with Brahmos cruise missiles, its submarine ballistic missile launch capability is severely restricted.

For a country surrounded significantly by water and ‘loving’ neighbours, India’s navy cannot remain a mish-mash bonsai. Unfortunately, the powers that may be still seem to be in a daze about these issues that could well one day have the power to destroy India...

‘Sad’ Walton!

‘Size can be a disadvantage’, you thought? You couldn’t be wrong; for how bigger can you get than Wal-Mart, whose revenues of $351.14 billion & scale of operations make it the bull’s eye for environmentalists with millions of tones of waste each year. Wal-Mart’s massive fleet of 7,200 trucks runs on polluting petroleum, and its 2,074 outlets in the US alone consumes a mind-boggling 1.5 million kilowatts of electricity annually! Bill McKibben, noted American Environmentalist, states that, “I think the main fl aw in the Wal-Mart story is that they exist to sell people on the idea of endlessly buying more stuff. I can’t think of a community in the US that has been improved by a Wal-Mart.”

Million...billion …now its trillion!

Creating a record – Reliance Industries’ Chairman Mukesh Ambani has incredibly won an exceptional Reliance Industries’ Chairman Mukesh Ambanidistinction of being the only trillionaire in the country with over Rs1,000 billion worth of wealth amassed through his shareholdings. Not far behind, younger brother Anil is also struggling to catch up in the race (with close to Rs900 billion worth of wealth in the stock market through his holdings in various group companies). The collective market value (capitalisation) of RIL, Reliance Petroleum (RPL), IPCL and Reliance Industrial Infrastructure Ltd. (RIIL) has crossed the Rs2,500 billion mark.
