Although Rita Joshi Bahuguna got interim bail on Saturday but that also bring the fresh perspective about the language used by our leaders, we often hear now and then these kinds of statements specially from political leaders during election rally but then every other party leader were making such statements and also backtrack from their statements even though there statement were caught on tape by audio visual media. Whether it's case of Varun Gandhi, Mayawati, Lalu Prasad, Narendra Modi or even Sonia Gandhi making such statements which are in no way reflect the Indian culture but as the TINA (There Is No Alternative) factor works for them and we are forced to elect among them only and result is that Assembly and Parliament become battleground and in name of privilege the members can speak whatever they can without fear and sometimes not spare even the lifeless things like mikes, desks and chairs and use them for the purpose that is not what these things are supposed to be used. Anyway we expect our representatives to mature and use the public platform for the welfare for common man and not to stall the debate and healthy discussion in the house. Recent events in the Rajasthan assembly is also one another example where the house remain disturbed due to making of some untoward statement by very senior leaders of the house and thus CM has forced to submit his reply on budget discussion on the table of the house and so the common man loose the insight into the reply. Common man has either have very short memory or it have no alternative to look into these issues when they cast their votes otherwise the representative will think twice before taking any such action.
Politicians must be aware of the fact that words released from mouth will not come back and millions of people were listening them so they must have some sort of control on their tongue that will be helpful to them and also to the country otherwise one would know the fate of one of the recently appointed Governor who dared to speak and open mouth and now pay the price by getting sidetracked from active politics.

In a official release by google it is confirmed that Google Apps like Gmail, Google talk, Google Docs and Google Calendar are now out of beta for enterprise and consumers version. (Google Release)
But what this Beta is all about ?
Actually this is a stage in the development of any software which goes to various stages before official release. Google was often mocked about the fact that even after so many days it keeps the product in beta stage. But for all those nostalgic people out there it keep the google beta app which can show that tag of beta even though its not beta so enable that feature in apps.
Some definitions of Beta Software :
What is beta software?
After an initial round of in-house testing, software publishers often release new programs to be tested by the public. These pre-release versions are called beta software, usually denoted by a "b" in the version number, e.g., Firefox 3.1b2. Since the publisher couldn't possibly test the software under all possible conditions, it is reasonable to expect that wider use of the software may uncover problems that were not discovered during in-house testing. The publisher expects to be notified when users find such problems so that the program can be fixed before its official release.
In general, you should expect to run into bugs whenever using any piece of beta software. These bugs may range in severity from minor features that don't work to problems that cause your computer to crash. You should decide whether the benefit of new features in a beta program outweighs the risk of program instability before choosing to use a piece of beta software.
What is Beta Software?
When computer software is being developed it progresses through developmental stages and is given code names to define which stage the software is in.
A beta version or beta release software usually is the first version of a computer program that implements all features in the initial software requirements specification and is considered an intermediate stage. It can be unstable but useful. Generally considered a preview stage where testers (sometimes, the general public) are encouraged to use the beta software and provide feedback for the developers.
The provided feedback from beta testers allow the developers to fix bugs (errors) in the software and sometimes suggested minor features are implemented into the final version of the software.
