Robert Noyce's 84th Birthday

Robert Norton Noyce (December 12, 1927 – June 3, 1990), nicknamed "the Mayor of Silicon Valley", co-founded Fairchild Semiconductor in 1957 and Intel in 1968. He is also credited (along with Jack Kilby) with the invention of the integrated circuit or microchip which fueled the personal computer revolution and gave Silicon Valley its name. Noyce was also a mentor and father-figure to an entire generation of entrepreneurs.

Congartulations Sehwag !


Virender Sehwag created history on Thursday by posting the highest individual score in One-day Internationals, and also registering only the second double century in the 50-over cricket format, in the fourth ODI against the West Indies, in Indore, on Thursday.
The dashing Opener proved unstoppable for the hapless Windies bowlers as he stroked his way to a magical innings of 219 from a mere 149 balls, slamming as many as 25 fours and seven sixes.
Riding on Sehwag's knock, India posted a mammoth 418 for five in their 50 overs, their highest ever total in ODIs.
Sachin Tendulkar was the first batsman to get to a double hundred in ODIs, when he scored 200 not out against South Africa in Gwalior in February last year.
