Date: 01/26/2009:
Former Miss Universe 2000 Lara Dutta will grace the cover of January 2009 edition of magazine Grazia. Lara did not have any major release in 2008 even after having a box office hit Partner (2007) in 2007. She did have a special appearance in song Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte in movie Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (RNBDJ) (2008) and voice over in animated movie Jumbo (2008). But Lara seems to have started off 2009 on the right note, first by being on the Grazia cover, which will be followed by SRK's home production Billo Barber (2009) in February, followed by Blue (2009) and then Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai (2009) later in 2009.

01/26/2009:
The buzz everywhere is that Google will sometime this year announce a service called GDrive. The service will allow the users to store their data online and allow access to that data from anywhere, thus reducing the need for a PC with large hard drives. This will turn the users into one more thing that they use via the web, they already access such services as e-mail, photo storage via the web. If the GDrive is really what people make it out to be, they it could turn the PC into a device to access the web. The GDrive concept is being described as "cloud computing", where the web rather than the hard drive is used as the medium to store information. The big question will be are people willing to trust their personnel data to Google. Only time will tell if such a service is announced and then used by the people in a safe manner.
