THE HINDUSTAN TIMES said that Google has offered to digitise a vast treasure trove of 100,000 manuscripts stored in Mysore University.

The paper said the manuscripts include palm leaf and other MSS on mathematics, rhetoric, astrology and astronomy, jurisprudence and the rest.

Google will provide technical expertise to digitise the collection and may also throw some manpower into the project. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
