Defeated England 'quarrels with Ajmal's action'

In keeping with the tradition of faulting foreign players after English defeat, the British media twisted a quote from the Pakistani spinners interview in which he referred to his earlier clearance by the ICC. Saeed Ajmal, rhe 34-year-old off-spinner who took 24 wickets in the 3-0 Test series whitewash of England, was quoted by the British and other western media as that the International Cricket Council (ICC) has allowed him extra leniency, up to 23.5 degrees to bend his arm. "I don t know about my bowling action, but somebody was telling me your action is bad. ICC has allowed me 23.5 because my arm is not good because of an accident, that is why a problem," BBC television showed Ajmal as saying on Monday after being declared man-of-the-series. "Otherwise no problem, straightaway cleared by ICC." Pakistan won the third and final Test here by 71 runs. His bowling action, reported by match officials during a one-day series against Australia in 2009 before it was cleared after remedial work by experts, once again came under suspicions following his career-best 7-55 in the first Test, also played in Dubai. Former England paceman Bob Willis raised suspicions over his  doosra  (second one) -- a ball which turns the other way than a normal off-break -- while England coach Andy Flower said he has his own opinion and left the matter to the ICC. But after Ajmal s claim on relaxation, Flower on Tuesday showed surprise. "If that s the degree, then there s a problem, said Flower when asked about Ajmal s claim of special dispensation. "That s ridiculous." "That is an ICC issue, though. They are there to police the game, and make sure that it is played within the rules, so they ve got to scrutinise his action. "We ve all got our own views, but our job is to combat whoever is put against us, and part of it is also to play the game in the right spirit." Pakistan cricket team management said Ajmal was cleared by the ICC within the permissible limits and they will issue a further clarification shortly. An ICC spokesman said that the game s governing body was looking into Ajmal s comments and that no player has been given permission to allow bending arms beyond 15 degrees. A Pakistan Cricket Board spokesman meanwhile said that Ajmal is not a native English speaker, and his comments could have taken in the wrong context.   

Microsoft Against Google Privacy

Google has decided some weeks ago to unify the privacy statements of its services. Big G has therefore amended the privacy policies and somebody thought he was forcing users to the changes. All those who have a Google account have been bombarded these days by a message about changes made to the privacy policy , a choice, that the Mountain View giant, suggested also by international norms. Many IT companies compete with Google, did not appreciate this way of imposing new rules and some, such as Microsoft , took the opportunity to promote products, at least in advertising, seem to respect the users and their needs, more than it did Google. The Redmond goes down hard on Big G, accusing him of having frightened and users have changed “suddenly” the rules of the game without taking into account the choices that you could and wanted to do. That is Microsoft’s invitation to abandon the faith googleiana sure to land on the shores of Microsoft . The prosecution has touched raw nerves that Google has responded via a post of Policy Manager Betsy Masiello: The information provided by Microsoft Internet users would be only myths.

Social Networks Give More Addictive Than Smoking And Alcohol

All those who claim that Facebook is a drug are not far from reality: a study from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business published in Psychological Science , social networks and emails give a much stronger dependence than alcohol or tobacco , but they can also win on sleep and sex. The research led by Wilhelm Hofmann included 205 people who were asked to wear an electronic device that recorded the daily desires.Analyzing the nearly 8 000 reports resulting researchers were able to make a ‘ranking’ of everyday desires, he sees the very first place to connect to social media to check for news, which delivers the desire to sleep and to have sex, while Alcohol and cigarettes are much easier to avoid.” During the day the desire constant is somehow kept at bay, but this increases abstinence – Hofmann says – with the result that at the end of the day, the need becomes very difficult to control and irrestistibile at night, when you connect instead of sleep.

UK judge orders Abu Qatada released on bail

After six years in custody, Abu Qatada could be freed within days under stringent conditions, a judge at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission in London said. Abu Qatada has been fighting to be released after the European Court of Human Rights ruled last month he should not be deported to face terror charges in Jordan due to fears that evidence obtained by torture would be used against him. The British government wants to keep him in a high security prison while continuing a legal fight to have him deported. Abu Qatada whose real name is Omar Mahmoud Mohammed Othman is a Muslim preacher from Jordan who has been described in both Spanish and British courts as a leading al-Qaida figure in Europe. A Palestinian-Jordanian citizen, Abu Qatada arrived in Britain in 1993 and was detained in 2002 under anti-terrorism laws that at the time allowed suspected terrorists to be held in jail without charge. Alhough Abu Qatada was released in 2005 when the unpopular law was overturned, he was kept under surveillance and arrested again within months and held pending his deportation to face terrorism charges in Jordan. He was convicted in absentia in Jordan of terrorist offenses related to two alleged bomb plots in 1999 and 2000, and would face a retrial there if deported from Britain. Abu Qatada has never faced criminal charges in Britain, but authorities in the U.K. have accused him of advising militants and raising money for terrorist attacks.
