Apple to Offer Refund Over Australian 4G IPad Claims
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) took Apple to the Federal Court in Melbourne on Wednesday for allegedly violating sections of the Australian Consumer Law.
The ACCC claims that Apple's advertisements mislead the public over the device's 4G capabilities, as the latest iPad is not compatible with Australia's sole 4G network, which is run by Telstra.
Telstra operates its 4G service within the 1800MHz band, while the latest iPad can only be used on the 700MHz and 2100MHz LTE bands. The new iPad is compatible with 4G LTE networks in the U.S. and Canada using data speed specifications including HSPA, HSPA+ and DC-HSDPA.

5 Worst diet mistakes smart women make
1 Eating six mini 'meals' everyday
The idea might be to put a little something in the stomach to cut down hunger, but this is where the trap is. Frequent meals that stop you from bingeing are supposed to be smaller, but women often turn these into regular dining portions, that can go upto 400 calories each. A big no-no!
How to fix it : Make a list or diary chart that tracks what you should eat and simply stick to that.

Foods to help you focus
.jpg)
But it is easy to stay focused by incorporating these brain foods in your diet for a more motivated you!
Caffeine
Sip on some caffeine to kick-start your ability to focus; the key is moderation. Too much caffeine and you'll end up jittery and unable to concentrate.
Sugar
Just a spoonful of sugar can give your brain the boost you are looking for, although the effects are short-lived. Snack on something naturally sweet such as fresh fruit, or reach for brain food like whole grain carbohydrates such as pasta to improve your attentiveness without expanding your waistline.
Fish
Serve up fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids twice a week to give your brain the vitamins it needs to develop and function properly. When possible, choose a fish that has a low or no mercury content, such as salmon and herring.

Google Search Will Answer Your Queries Now
London: Internet giant Google's "search" will now not only hunt down typed-in words but also answer questions like an encyclopaedia.
In a drastic makeover for the search engine, the option will no longer show only a list of blue links to varous websites, but will also be dotted with information that would answer people's questions, the Daily Mail reported. The new version of search will use what is called "semantic search" that attempts to understand the meaning of searches, rather than simply hunting for words.

Is Volkswagen losing plot in India?
To give them their due, Volkswagen has acted fast after its entry in 2007. Starting with the Passat and Jetta, it launched its first small car—Polo—in just three years. That was followed by the launch of its entry level sedan based on the same platform—Vento—barely 6 months later.
Others like Toyota and Honda who have been in India for much longer, have in comparison taken ages to get into the small car segment. These launches gave the German company much needed momentum. It grew in high double digits and sometimes even in triple digits throughout 2010, a historically high growth year for the industry, and even in 2011 when the industry witnessed some strains, it did quite well. A lot of this growth could be misleading. For example in April 2011, VW’s sales grew by a staggering 370% on the back of a ridiculous 900% plus growth in March 2011. But in absolute terms it sold a mere 7000 cars, less than a tenth of market leader Maruti Suzuki. In economic terms, such a scenario is described as a result of base effect. Even then these numbers would have been heartening for a new entrant.

Hundred x 100: Sachin's tryst with destiny
Mirpur: One year and five days since he scored his 99th international century, Sachin Tendulkar reached the unprecedented landmark of 100. For over a year a legion of fans had watched in anticipation as Tendulkar strode to the crease in India, England and Australia, and at 17:07 local time, when he nudged towards square leg for a single, there was a collective release of emotions.
Tendulkar, 38, had been stuck on 99 international centuries since March 12, 2011 when he scored a century against South Africa during the World Cup. During the time he took to move from 99 to 100, so much has changed for the Indian cricket team. In the last 12 months they have won the World Cup, slipped form their No. 1 perch in the ICC’s Test rankings, been whitewashed in consecutive overseas Test tours, failed to make the finals of a tri-series, and have seen Rahul Dravid make his exit from the international scene
In those 12 months, Tendulkar’s batting returns had also diminished. In 11 Tests he has scored 778 runs at an average of 37.04, with a best of 94. He came close to scoring that a hundred a couple other times too; at The Oval he made 91 and in Sydney he reached 80. That innings of 94 was the best chance he had of getting to three figures – Tendulkar came out on the fourth morning in Mumbai in robust mood – but an unwarranted dab to third man ended up in the slips.
Tendulkar did not play an ODI since the World Cup final on April 2, 2011 until he was named in India’s squad for the CB Series after the Test debacle in Australia. That period included four ODI contests, against West Indies and England home and away. Injury played its part, with Tendulkar being ruled out of the ODI leg in England. In 12 ODIs since that century in Nagpur Tendulkar had made 307 runs at 25.58, with his best shot at the 100th hundred being his chancy 85 against Pakistan in the World Cup semi-final. He had not crossed 48 since then, until today.
Tendulkar’s 100th century was a fluent innings, which began a brilliant cover drive for four in the second over of India’s innings in Mirpur. His cutting and driving was especially eye-catching, and the way he maneuvered the Bangladesh spinners was masterful. His half-century came up with a lofted boundary over extra, off the 63 balls, and three figures came in the 44th over, off 138 deliveries and with ten fours and one six.
Upon reaching three figures, Tendulkar closed his eyes and looked up to the skies as he has so many times before this. And yes, a big sigh of relief.
