Breaking News: Google Buys Yahoo for $04.01/stock
Amazing price negotiation and that too coincidental with the fact that the price and the date are one and same. Interesting day in history indeed! 3 months ago
The slogan - often lengthened in Hindi to “If you don’t have a proper lavatory in your house, don’t even think about marrying my daughter” - has been plastered across villages in the region as part of a drive to boost the number of pukka facilities. In a country where more households have TV sets than lavatories, it is one of the most successful efforts to combat the chronic shortage of proper plumbing.

OS X Oddity # 82749 - Spotlight Indexing Hogging
Translation: If your Mac is slow, you end up in Activity Monitor (I really meant “top” or ps -xyz | grep) and you find a nasty little process called mds hogging up all your precious Core 2 Duo’s pistons… You are in the right place. As it turns out, this little buggar is a metadata process (read: spotlight!) and goes haywire when indexing takes a nasty break when you slammed your macbook shut (or just macsaber’ing)….
In any case, RTFA - http://www.macintouch.com/tiger12.html
It worked very well for me. The commands there stops indexing first (repeat for each volume), then remove old index files and you reverse what you just did. Let it index once again and your mac will be cpu hog free…

“Walking into the P.M.’s minute headquarters, I expect to be stopped and searched, or at least asked for photo identification. Instead I find a single policeman sitting behind a reception desk, feet up on the table, reading a newspaper. He glances up, bored. “I’m here to see the prime minister,” I say for the first time in my life. He’s unimpressed. Anyone here can see the prime minister. Half a dozen people will tell me that one of the reasons Icelanders thought they would be taken seriously as global financiers is that all Icelanders feel important. One reason they all feel important is that they all can go see the prime minister anytime they like.”
