I first headed over to Maps.google.com Owned by Google.This showed the correct map. The disputed regions were shown in dotted lines and that's fair enough. Another area which China claimed i.e Arunacjal pradesh(just next to butan) is shown in dotted lines although it's now Indian state. To tell you the truth google powered maps( i dont mean alalytical like sites) were the only site that site that showed correct map . So thumbs Up for Google Maps
You can view the full map over here
Next i went to Yahoo Maps. They had launched several new features.This made the site load too slow. It took me almost 2-3 min to zoom into that level.But finally i got it. Here the story was quiet different. Aksai Chin plateau area was shown separately. POK was shown as Pakistani. They have shown the Aksai Chin plateau as a separate country i.e it's represent by the same line as that of a country. So yahoo maps sucks
Just check Map of india at Yahoo Maps
Next stop was Microsoft's virtual earth aka Msn map.This was bit better than Yahoo. This showed POK as pak region but the plaetue is shown as a disputed region. It's shown with dotted line unlike yahoo.They even showed Arunachal pradesh also in dotted lines although it's an Indian state.
See the complete map at Msn Virtual Earth
I also tryied out AOL'S mapquest. This site turned out to be much like Microsoft . There was only one change the border b/w POK and India was shown in dotted line.
At Wikipedia's map(wikimapia) everything perfectly fine as it was powered by Google. This was much much of a physical map but showed everything correctly.
Check out full map Over Here
My Final destination was Britannica this as expected showed the right map. See the map
Just reminder that Google Analytical only gives us details regarding our site and not about the worlds. It has to show these region as part of one country or other or else it would lead in to problem. If there are visitors from these region what would Google do. Several such disputed regions exist in the world.It has to cant show them separately as it's of no use or importance to a webmaster. It only that we Indians have been unlucky and these regions have been excluded from India.
But sites like Yahoo, Msn and others should show the right map.
EA unveiled on Thursday plans to offer two unique control modes for future Wii sports games made by the publisher. "Family Play" will enable simplified control schemes for casual gamers while "Advanced Play" offers more control for experienced gamers.
"Family Play on the Wii creates an incredibly accessible and user-friendly experience that the whole family will enjoy," says EA Executive Producer Dave McCarthy in a statement. "While many fans love to control every piece of the action, novice players can have just as much fun jumping in to throw a touchdown pass, nail a three pointer or take a shot on goal."
The new play initiative omits the use of the Wii nunchuck focusing on basic moves only while Advanced Play includes nunchuck functionality for a full range of moves like in previous EA Sports games.

Microsoft has succeeded in fracturing the Linux and open-source community with the patent indemnity agreements it has entered into with several prominent vendors, Ubuntu leader and Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth told eWEEK.
The strategy behind that was to drive a wedge into the open-source community and unsettle the marketplace, Shuttleworth said. He also took issue with the Redmond, Wash., software maker for not disclosing the 235 of its patents it claims are being violated by Linux and other open-source software.
"That's extortion and we should call it what it is," he said. "To say, as [Microsoft CEO Steve] Ballmer did, that there is undisclosed balance sheet liability, that's just extortion and we should refuse to get drawn into that game. On the other side, if Microsoft is concerned about its intellectual property, there is no one in the free software community that wants to violate anyone's IP. Disclose the patents and we'll fix the code. Alternatively, move on."
Here's another detail from Microsoft's newly released Form 10K annual report: The company's spending on acquisitions doubled in its latest fiscal year, to $1.34 billion. And that's not counting Microsoft's $6 billion aQuantive deal, which isn't included in the total for the year, which ended June 30. That acquisition is still pending, with an aQuantive shareholder vote set for this week.
Despite spending more, Microsoft made fewer acquisitions -- 13 in 2007, according to the filing, compared with 21 the previous year. That means its average acquisition size in fiscal 2007 increased to $103 million, from $33 million the year before. The 2007 average was skewed significantly by Microsoft's acquisition of TellMe Networks, which reportedly cost the company at least $800 million. The grand total for the year gives further credence to those reports.
Microsoft had been making mostly smaller deals during the prior few years. But for the record, the $1.3 billion spent on acquisitions in fiscal 2007 isn't unprecedented for the company. In fiscal 2003, for example, Microsoft spent more than $2 billion on three companies alone: Rare, Navision and Placeware.

You?ll need to download the Photosynth viewer to see the images (sorry Mac users, for now Photosynth is only available for Windows XP and Vista ? running either IE6 or IE7). If you don?t meet the minimum requirements or if you?d just like to see an overview, there?s a nice video preview available on the Microsoft Labs site.
Blaise Aguera y Arcas, an architect at Microsoft Live Labs, also gave a talk at the TED festival a while back that shows off some of the remarkable capabilities of Photosynth and SeaDragon, which you can see here.
NASA says it hopes this joint project will lead to more collaborative initiatives with Microsoft. And Microsoft is no doubt hoping the same, especially since most recent NASA collaborations have been with rival Google, which gets some of its Google Earth data from NASA.
Also worth noting is that, near the end of the promotional video linked above, Blaise Aguera y Arcas says that Photosynth with soon offer features which allow users to stitch their own photos together.
Given that Photosynth relies on image data from a normal SLR camera, it might soon be possible for even you and I to stitch together some impressive 3-D tours, provided you take enough images.

Just last week, Nokia released a new media transfer beta program for Mac computers. Today, it announced a new PlayReady DRM licensing agreement with Microsoft. Looks like Nokia is playing both sides of the fence ahead of its music-themed launch in London later this month.
The news set for August 29th is rumored to be a new online music store from Nokia in the vein of Apple's iTunes Music Store. The big bash, to be hosted at London's Ministry of Sound, will show off the new service and probably a new music-centric handset from Nokia. Leading up to that announcement, Nokia seems to be getting all its ducks in a row.
The DRM deal that Nokia struck with Microsoft appears to be a key step in its movement to the rumored music store launch. Starting in 2008, a range of S60 and Series 40 phones from Nokia will support Microsoft's PlayReady content management software. PlayReady should make it easier for Nokia users to transfer content, such as games, ringtones and music, between their PCs and phones. It also gives the content owners more choices with respect to how their content is bought, sold and used by customers.
"People are increasingly using their mobile devices for enjoying digital content, such as music, games, videos and photos," said Ilkka Raiskinen, senior vice president of Multimedia Experiences at Nokia in a prepared statement. "By adding support for Microsoft PlayReady technology, we are enabling service providers to offer a wide range of content and create truly compelling experiences across mobile devices, personal computers and online services."
Just to play it safe, though, Nokia has decided to be friendlier to the Mac Heads out in the world. Nokia Multimedia Transfer Beta 1.1 (which did not get a big splashy press release) allows Mac users to more seamlessly transfer content from their Apple computers to their N series multimedia computers as well as E series enterprise class devices. It works with both iTunes and iPhoto to share music, playlists, photos, and games. Nokia quietly made the beta available last week.
