Google romancing with the alphabets!
It seems like Google is in deep romance with the alphabet.
To reflect its new identity under the holding company Alphabet, Google Inc has got into serious business of owning everything that comes near to the English alphabet.
The internet search giant has acquired the domain name abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.com, just a few days after it officially became a subsidiary of Alphabet.
The domain was created in 1999 and was updated on October 7 when Google took control of it for an undisclosed amount.
According to query and response protocol leader WHOIS (pronounced who is), Google owns 18,095 other domains.
It even owns some of its misspelt forms like Googl.com and Gogle.com.
However, Google's mission alphabet remains incomplete as of now. German luxury auto maker BMW already owns alphabet.com, and doesn’t plan on giving it up anytime soon.

Beauty benefits of green tea!
From achieving a spot-free look to getting smooth tresses — using
green tea in your daily life can help you become healthy and beautiful.
Karpagam, national skin trainer at Naturals hair and beauty salon, has shared a few wonders of green tea, read a statement:
* No-spot look: We all have faced the problem of acne at some point in our life. Some healed while a few left their mark behind. Use of umpteen creams, pills and face products unfortunately failed to make the marks fade away. With no further delay, grab a few bags of green tea and brew it in hot water, strain the water and leave it aside to cool. Now instead of cleansing your face with water each time, use this skin friendly solution. Do not wipe.
Following this regime regularly will gradually aid in removing the marks and preventing acne and sudden outbreaks as well. In addition you can follow this routine with the application of a moisturizer; to reap the best benefits apply homemade green tea face moisturizer.
* Sparkling eyes: Eye puffiness and dark circles are also very common these days. A simple solution to protect the eyes from all these troubles is a green tea compress treatment.
Instead of throwing the tea bags into the trash bin, refrigerate them and use them as a compress over the eyes for a minimum of 20 minutes or more. The anti-oxidant content of green tea leaves cleanses the eyes and relieves all the tension around the nerves.
* Tame your tresses: Hair detoxifying treatment is the latest fad to catch up among people.
Though using hair products with green tea as a key ingredient is beneficial but nothing is more rewarding than a home green tea treatment. After washing the hair with shampoo instead of hair conditioner, apply water extract of green tea for conditioning. A great stimulant for hair follicles, green tea promotes growth and nourishes the hair.

Watch: Brett Lee launches his movie career with unINDIAN!
Sydney: Former Australia fast bowler Brett Lee's first movie
as an actor, a Bollywood-themed romantic comedy unINDIAN, has held its
first premiere in his country.
The romantic comedy was produced here by the Australia India Film Fund and casts Lee as a teacher who introduces migrant students to the basics of language and Australian culture.
The film was launched here on Wednesday in Lee’s home city and the cricketer-turned-actor reflected on his career change. The film will be released around Australia next Thursday, October 15.
"The part I thought would be easy and the part I thought would be hard were completely reversed," the 38-year-old was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au on Thursday.
"I thought the hardest part before I started filming was to do the dialogue. There's about 119 scenes, which is pages and pages of dialogue."
"To try and memorize that, I thought I had absolutely no chance of doing that. I thought the acting part would be easier. But when I looked back after completing the movie, the dialogue came easier.”
"When you've read it so many times and you're in the moment, you know the scenes back to front," he added.
Lee's love interest in the $4.5 million movie is Indian actress Tannishtha Chatterjee.
The former fast bowler, well known for his love of Indian culture, said that it all began more than 20 years ago on his first tour to India.
"Well it goes back to 1994 when I first went to India. I was 17, got sick, hated bowling on the wickets, but I got home after two months and thought, I really loved that trip. There was something about India that struck this beautiful chord within me," he said.
"Over the years the love grew for India, from the culture to the people. Fast forward a few years, and I got a couple of Bollywood offers, but I wasn't ready. I was still playing cricket."
"Then this Australian movie came across the desk. I had a look at it and loved the script, loved what it stood for, and I thought, this would be a good chance to do my first movie. So why not?," he concluded.
