Mahnder Singh Dhoni Accept Islam by the hands of former Pakistani Cricketer Saeed Anwar & famous Religious Anchor Junaid Jamshaid
Indian Cricket Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, could not have thought in his wildest dreams that his second marriage to “Aaisha Bi Singh Rawat” alias Sakshi Singh Rawat would come to haunt him one day.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni had converted to Islam to marry Sakshi Singh Rawat as Hindus are not allowed second marriage. Their marriage was solemnised on 04 July 2010 in Lucknow near Babri Masjid in accordance with Islamic rites. He had married Sakshi while his first wife Deepika P was still alive. Had he paid her enough, the matter probably would not have come to light.

American student finds GPS tracker stuck to car, FBI shows up to reclaim its 'federal property'
Mechanics spot strange things stuck under cars all the time, but when 20-year-old Yasir Afifi's ride was put up on lifts his shop found something that hadn't been kicked up from the road: a cylindrical tube connected to a device with an antenna. An extremely paranoid person would think they'd found a bomb, but the truth isn't much better. It was an FBI tracking device. Afifi posted pictures and his story on Reddit while a friend contemplated cunning things to do with it, sticking it to someone else's car or selling it on Craigslist. They didn't have long to ponder before long two "sneaky-looking" people were spotted outside his apartment. Afifi got in his car and drove off, only to be pulled over by FBI agents who demanded the device back, threatening "We're going to make this much more difficult for you if you don't cooperate."Now, we've already given our opinions on using GPS technology like this and, while it's unknown whether these agents had a warrant to place this device, the 9th US Court of Appeals recently made one unnecessary for this sort of thing. The ACLU is working with Afifi to fight that ruling, and for now we're hoping that he, who is an American with an Egyptian father, is currently able to hit the town without agents following his every move. However, at this point they may

Microsoft licenses dozens of patents from Access and Acacia, including some Palm inventions
Complete details on the deal are still a bit light, but it's just been revealed today that Microsoft has licensed a total of 74 patents from Acacia Research Corp. and Access Co. Ltd, some of which come from PalmSource, the software company spun off from Palm Inc. in 2003. While Microsoft itself isn't saying much on the matter beyond the usual formalities, Acacia CEO Paul Ryan says that the patents licensed by Microsoft are "foundational" in the smartphone market and, as The Wall Street Journal reports, they apparently include some of the very same patents that Acacia has sued other companies over, including Apple, RIM, Samsung and Motorola -- those specific patents concern things like email synchronization and "providing phone capabilities from personal computer devices."

Bipasha talks Sex
Last weekend, Bipasha Basu answered racy questions about her boyfriend John Abraham. Watch out for when host Koel Purie asked bluntly, "Have you learnt how to ride a bike? Or are you still riding John?" Any other actress would have stormed off or asked for a cut, but not Bips. She guffaws, "For me the bikes remain a distant fantasy, not John." Touche Bipasha.
The Aakrosh actress also happily discussed John's butt. Did she mind that so many women lusted after her object of affection? Did it make her insecure that even Abhishek Bachchan wanted to pinch the derriere?
No, says Bips, adding that it's his own fault for flaunting it to the nation.
Besides a good butt is important for girls and boys, she says, and you can't be sexy without one. Bips also doesn't shy away from mentioning how much she has spent on her dream home.
