Bom Sabado!! Did you notice in your orkut profile!!

It seems that the controversies and problems are not letting orkut away as firsts the java script invaded the orkut and again it is hit by the worm called "Bom Sabado" thogh it means Good Saturday in Portuguese but it won't leave your profile good enough.

Here is some brief about it:

Twitter recently had a JavaScript related problem and we now have a similar mess on Orkut.

The service seems to have been hit by a worm named Bom Sabado.

It creates a major mess on profiles as it scraps the text ‘Bom Sabado’ on profile pages.

You visit an infected profile page, you are likely to get affected as well.

Google has not yet made any official statement on this issue but we expect them to be working very hard on it.

Avoid using Orkut for now. And if you have been hit, change your Google Account password asap!

Save our Tigers!!!

Till I have seen many celebrities majorly inloved MS Dhoni and Amitabh Bachchan involved with the campaign and now the count rises to the Titanic starer Leonardo DiCaprio who will now step forward using his fame and gracious presence among the media for the noble cause.
The news is that DiCaprio and India's Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh met at a reception Friday in New York organised by the Coalition of Rainforest Nations, an inter-governmental organisation.The actor met the minister and has expressed his interest to play a crucial role in sensitizing the global community to the cause of the Indian tiger.

Will these campaigns until the common mass gets alerted and take the initiative i.e. the campaign when started it has 1411 tigers and according to the sources it was reported that ~1350 are now remaining.
How can people say that the campaign works.
I have observed on the website http://www.saveourtigers.com/ there are almost 232620 people who have joined the campaign or roared , is that roar making any difference to the tigers decline rate.


Factfile:
1. Aircel began its efforts to save our tigers nearly a year ago when we collaborated with WWF-India, both for their invaluable knowledge about our tigers, as well as to support their on-ground initiatives for tiger conservation in India.

2. Then the majors media partner NDTV partnered the campaign to take the campaign to next level where he people were thought and realized as the next levels of the campaign.

CWG song: Rahman to go with revamped version

Rahman after failing to come with the astonishing release as thought for the anthem for CWG2010, is believed that Rahman might have given the thought to go with the revamping of the previous release(28th August, 2010) as Rahman mentioned on his twitter status and is set to launch its heck- beck finalized version of the anthem and i have heard and read on many blogs that this is much faster version as it was heard in theme song for "Free Hugs India" campaign.
So lets wait and watch for hop and pop peppier version.
The theme song of the Commonwealth Games composed by A R Rahman will be tweaked a bit to make it peppier like the popular Bollywood number 'Chak de'.

The under video is the release of the anthem on 28th August, 2010:



Lyricist Prasoon Joshi said some instrumental music have been added to make the theme song peppier and a video is under preparation. Joshi said the "premature" criticism that came Rahman's way after the song was launched last month is not the reason behind the change.

He indicated that the video will be released in a week.

Fact:
Director Benegal liked the song a lot an had once said that "the song is for the youth and the youths if they listen it again and again they will surely become familiar to the song and will soon start liking it".
My comment: I think the statement was given as to promote the anthem as the person like Shyam Benegal's appreciation/ feedback will be worthier than anyone else...
