The Indian Government has incorporated a provision under the IT Act of 2008, giving itself or any of its officers a special authority to block internet connectivity across the country during times of national emergencies. The shutdown can happen in the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India, defence and security of its states, friendly relations with foreign states or for public order. Failure to comply with this order will result in imprisonment of up to seven years.

Bing with instant search
Google's been serving up "instant" search results for awhile and saving people seconds any time they need to search for something. Time for Bing to do the same.
Fast Company reports that Microsoft is introducing an instant search feature as "part of a bigger make-over for Bing that'll maximize its use of HTML 5's "next gen" browser technology." This feature will be similar to Google's and suggest search queries as you type yours. (Msnbc.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC Universal.)
Basically, with instant search, top search results will pour in as you type your query, and odds are that you'll spot what you're looking for before you're even done typing. In other words, you'll feel like the search engine is trying to read your mind.
