Old warhorses look to shine

India begin their three-Test series at a venue where they have suffered their worst loss against Sri Lanka; the last time these two sides played at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo, India were trounced by an innings and 77 runs. Sri Lanka have won just three of their 26 Tests against India but won the previous home series against the same opponents 2-1. They have fared much better against India at home, with just two losses in 12 Tests, and one series defeat in 1993. India have won ten Tests in all, six of them by an innings margin. One in two Tests has produced a result, and the results have often been one-sided - the smallest margin of victory has been by 149 (in terms of runs) and seven (in terms of wickets).

Is It Test Prep... Or Is It A Copyright Violation?

The standardized testing business is a big business -- though many are extremely critical of it. However, given how many universities rely on standardized tests for admissions, it's difficult to overstate how important some of these tests can be. And, because of that, there's a huge ecosystem of test preparation built around all of these tests, trying to help applicants prepare for the exams. These usually involve practice exams, often with questions from older exams. However, what if you got questions that were appearing on current exams? Given how many people take these tests, would it really be that surprising that someone would tell others about some of the questions they received on the test? In the long run, it probably wouldn't make a huge difference in testing results since it's unlikely anyone would see all the questions they cou

Consumer Reports Tests Reveal an Overlap in Performance Between Point-and-Shoots and SLR Digital Cameras

latest tests of digital cameras show an overlap in performance between point-and-shoots and SLRs. The report, featured in the July issue, reveals that some point-and-shoots excelled at producing much less grainy images in low light conditions -- traditionally an SLR strength -- while a few SLRs faltered. Many of the new point-and-shoots responded fairly quickly when their shutters were pressed, though none have the near instantaneous response of SLRs.
