Simon Beaufoy wins Oscar for best Slumdog Millionaire

February 23rd, 2009

Simon Beaufoy won Oscar for best adapted screenplay in the Danny Boyle directed movie Slumdog Millionaire.

It is about a young Indian slum kid’s life story from rags to winning in a “who wants to be a millionaire” gameshow.

India’s well known music director A R Rahman gets his first chance of winning the Oscar here after years of being ignored by the international community. It takes a UK or US made film for such a good music director to get recognised – the very fate behind the success of Slumdog while Indian made mother have been ignored. Rahman has several excellent music scores besides this in Malayalam, Hindi and Tamil movies.
Hope he wins more international awards.

Google breaks the internet ! – all sites may harm your computer

January 31st, 2009
All sites will harm your computer

All sites will harm your computer

For a few minutes today (less than an hour), Google search showed all sites as having malware.

Now it seems to be fixed – but it’s more likely that google just turned off the filter. Sites which are malware and were previously listed are now not marked.

Maybe something went wrong at StopBadWare.org

Maybe they were hacked ?

Hope Google fixes this soon.
