Imagine this scenario. While you are booting your computer or notebook, an advertisement pops up and the screen freezes for some time. The ad could be an audio or a plain visual one. Regardless, it may offer you some product or could even offer the operating system (which enables you to start or boot your computer) free or at a lower cost. Tying you down for a few more seconds, the ad automatically fades away and allows you to continue with the booting process.

Kerala CM to be asked to leave Politburo

Kerala Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan will be removed from the CPI(M)’s Politburo on ground of “serious indiscipline.” The Politburo has found him guilty of publicly airing his differences with his bete noire, Kerala unit General Secretary Pinarai Vijayan. VS will be allowed to remain Kerala chief minister by the Central Committee, but a section of the party thinks his days as CM are numbered, as the state unit will try to dislodge him from the post. - Railroaded - Mamata, CPM heat on land, railways in LS - CPI(M) Central Committee to discuss Kerala issue - Achuthanandan, Vijayan slug it out at Politburo meeting - Mamata asks Centre to stop Lalgarh operations - Mamata asks Centre to stop Lalgarh operations At the CPI(M) Central Committee meeting today, party General Secretary Prakash Karat presented two reports. The first one is on the SNC Lavalin case in which Pinarai has been given a clean chit. In the second report, VS has been slammed for gross indiscipline. The Achuthanandan lobby will still try to inflict some injury to the rival camp tomorrow, the last day of the CC meet. But it is unlikely that Pinarai will be removed from the state secretary’s post.
