    "Vanisha Mittal, daughter of Indian steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal and Usha Mittal, is marrying London-based financer Amit Bhatia, the son of Renu and Arun ..."

    Did Amit take Vanisha's family name?

    Their explanation is less than satisfactory:


    [www.nytimes.com]


    How does mistyping a web address for a blacklist mess it up for all websites? Unless he typed in *.com...


    The "Knol" (ugh) is new, so that's a likely suspect. Plus people have been questioning lately why things are getting deleted from their cache. Maybe they're making some big changes over there?

    Now this has the makings of a heartwarming, true-to-life Bollywood thriller: A young and earnest INDIAN MEDICAL STUDENT, whose BELOVED FATHER could DIE IN JUST 10 MINUTES if he doesn't get a THINGAMAJIG for his HEART, responds to his FATHER'S HEALTH CRISIS by SURFING THE INTERWEB and, with the help of an INTERWEB ANGEL, miraculously finds A POT OF GOLD in the form of A GLORIOUS SCREENSHOT that THE GOOGLE PEOPLE deem could SHUT DOWN THE COMPANY if it falls into THE WRONG HANDS...

    Call it "MALWARE MILLIONAIRE"

    cue in the girls in orange flowy dresses that dangerously approach the gentlemen until their lips are about ten inches apart then back off into a spinning move back up the grandiose staircase, all to a bumping sitar beat..

    Also, he just needs money to buy enough gas to make it to his first day at his new job. If you don't trust him, he has a box of tools he's willing to trade for the money. You can hold on to the tools until he pays you back.

    Was it the Knol what did it?


    [knol.google.com]


    Never saw this show up on the front google page before.


    If it's a conspiracy, "knol" would be nice and apt.
