The spinners won it for them today, with both Shakib and Mahmudullah proving lethal on a turning pitch. Bangladesh's spin twins Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah spun a tantalising web to leave West Indies staring at defeat on the final day in St Vincent. Congatulation To Bangladesh Cricket team.

Google Is Planning to Built Its Own Operating System (Google Operation System) A year and half from now, you may see a new choice in the computer aisle of your local electronics store: little laptops, or netbooks, with an operating system made by Google instead of Microsoft. Google just announced that it will make a personal computer operating system, to be called Chrome OS, based on the Linux operating system. (It is separate from the company’s Android cellphone operating system, which also can work on netbooks.) The main advantage of Chrome OS is that it is free. Microsoft’s Windows 7 is reported to cost netbook makers at least $45 per computer. Even if Microsoft is forced to cut the price to the $25 level that it has been charging netbook makers for its ancient Windows XP system, a Chrome netbook may well be in stores for $30 to $50 less than an equivalent Windows machine.

Berry Gordy called Michael Jackson the "greatest entertainer that ever lived" as family, friends, colleagues and fans gathered to remember the King of Pop at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday. "The more I think and talk about Michael Jackson, I feel the King of Pop is not big enough for him," Gordy, the founder of Motown Records, said as the crowd rose to its feet. "I think he is simply the greatest entertainer that ever lived." Gordy also recalled how when he auditioned the Jackson 5 in 1968, 10-year-old Michael was talented beyond his years. "He was driven by his hunger to learn, to constantly top himself, to be the best. He was the consummate student. He studied the greats and became greater. He raised the bar and then broke the bar," Gordy said. Jackson's golden casket was placed in front of the stage at his memorial as a choir sang. Several of Jackson's older brothers, each wearing one sequined glove, served as pallbearers, carrying the coffin to the stage as the Andrae Crouch choir sang "Soon and Very Soon." The stage at the Staples Center resembled a church sanctuary with a stain-glassed backdrop. Mariah Carey was joined by Trey Lorenz singing The Jackson 5's 1970 hit "I'll Be there" as a montage of Jackson photographs appeared on arena screens. Queen Latifah, saying she was on stage to represent "millions of fans inspired by Michael," said "Michael was the biggest star on earth." Lionel Richie then performed the song "Jesus is Love." Stevie Wonder took the stage next, sitting at a keyboard. |

The cabinet has approved the International Crimes Tribunal (Amendment) Bill 2009 aiming to try those involved in acts against humanity during the 1971 liberation war.
The approval was given on Monday at the weekly meeting of the cabinet chaired by prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
Earlier, the Law Commission recommended five changes in the International Crimes (Tribunals) Act 1973, barring military officials from becoming judges of the tribunals for war crimes.
Hasina said anti-liberation forces including razakars and members of Al-badr, Al-sams, should be brought under trial, meeting sources said.
PM’s press secretary Abul Kalam, while briefing reporters, said International Crimes Tribunal Act 1973 has been updated after a thorough scrutiny.
‘The amended act has been approved to bring those involved in acts against humanity during the 1971 liberation war to justice,’ he said. Offences under the act include murder, arson and rape.

Five factories and two warehouses were torched and over 100 people were injured in clashes between protesters and police as garment factory workers continued violent demonstrations at Ashulia on the outskirts of Dhaka for the third straight day on Monday.
Angry workers also set seven vehicles on fire during the clashes in which a number of journalists and policemen were also injured.
Several thousand garment factory workers took to the streets at around 8:30am and blocked the Tongi-Ashulia road and Dhaka-Tangail highway protesting at the killing of two fellow workers in police firing on Saturday and Sunday.
Witnesses said a committee led by leaders of the Bangladesh Garments Manufacturers and Exporters Association came to visit the troubled S Suhi Industrial Park in an ambulance at around 9:30am.
The workers took to the streets as rumours spread that the BGMEA team had taken away four bodies of workers who were believed to have been killed in Saturday’s police firing.
