IPL coaches

Australian Tom Moody has signed up to coach the Mohali team in the money-spinning Indian Premier League (IPL), the franchise has announced.

“With Yuvraj (Singh) being our captain and Moody as coach, I think everything has fallen into place for us,” Ness Wadia, co-owner of the team, was quoted by the Indian media on Monday.

Moody, 42, a member of two World Cup-winning Australian teams, coached Sri Lanka for two years before leaving in May last year to take up reins for Western Australia.

“We really don’t know much about the game and its technicalities,” said Bollywood actress Preity Zinta, who is also part of the consortium that bought the franchise for $76 million over a 10-year-period. “But we will take professional help to run the franchise in the most efficient manner. “We will take input from captain, coach and the technical members that we are hiring,” she added.

The inaugural edition of the International Cricket Council-sanctioned Twenty20 league starts on April 18.

The tournament will be played over 44 days between eight franchises in eight cities and will feature 59 matches.

Indian media has said former India coach Greg Chappell, ex-Australia coach John Buchanan and Victoria’s Greg Shipperd were the other Australian coaches targeted by IPL teams.

More than 80 international cricketers are expected to feature in a player “auction” in Mumbai on Wednesday with each franchise allowed a cap of $5 million.

Dhoni and Symonds top $1m mark in IPL auction

MUMBAI: India one-day captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Australian Andrew Symonds crossed the million-dollar mark as the world's top cricketers were auctioned off for the Twenty20 Indian Premier League (IPL).

Chennai bought Dhoni for $1.5 million, which was nearly four times the Indian's base price of $400,000 in the opening round of the novel sell-off held before the lucrative 44-day tournament's debut in April.

All-rounder Symonds was a close second after going for $1.35 million to the Hyderabad team. Team-mates Brett Lee was bought by Mohali for $900,000 and Ricky Ponting by Kolkata for $400,000.

Eight franchise owners, including corporate tycoons and Bollywood actors, were bidding for 77 cricketers in a pioneering process that some observers believe will change the face of the game.

"It's a landmark day. I have not seen anything like this before. It has been amazing," said IPL governing council member Inderjit Singh Bindra.

Lenovo's ThinkPad X300 vs Apple mac book AIR

The new ultrathin laptop from Lenovo could become the first major competitor to Apple's MacBook Air.

In a sneak preview by The Wall Street Journal's Walter Mossberg, the ThinkPad X300 has a 13-inch-wide screen, a full keyboard, and a 64GB solid-state drive (SSD). Apple has touted a 13.3-inch-wide screen and a full keyboard as among the highlights of the Air.

Built-In DVD, Removable Battery: But the Air, launched last month during Steve Jobs' keynote address at MacWorld, has been criticized as skimpy on some features.

For instance, the Air lacks a built-in DVD drive, and instead offers wireless access to an external drive. Its battery cannot be removed by the user, and the machine offers only one USB port.

The X300, on the other hand, has a built-in DVD drive, a removable battery, three USB ports, and an Ethernet networking jack. It can also be customized with a cell-phone modem or GPS. And it has an advantage among new Windows computers -- it can be ordered with either Windows XP or Vista.

Heaver than traditional notebooks: Unlike the Air, Mossberg noted, the X300 is "a bit heavier than the three-pound weight that traditionally denotes a subnotebook." It is 3.12 pounds with the standard battery and DVD drive, but he added that it "still feels very light to carry around."

While Mossberg and others are comparing the X300 to the Air, IDC's Doug Bell said it isn't a direct competitor because Lenovo is geared toward the enterprise market and Apple, while making some inroads into businesses, is still primarily consumer-oriented.

The X300 has features important to the road warrior, Bell noted. The most important, he said, is the removable battery, but he also cited the built-in DVD drive and extra USB ports. The option of choosing XP is also appealing to business users not prepared to move to Vista, he said.

But Bell noted that the price, expected to be $2,500-2,800, "is a drawback." That is higher than average for this kind of device, he said, and was likely driven by the more expensive SSD instead of a less-pricey hard drive. The X300 reportedly will only be available with the 64GB SSD. The entry-level Air, by contrast, is offered with a 80-GB hard drive for about $1,800, and with a 64-GB solid-state drive and slightly faster processor, it's $3000. The Air also offers a trackpad with the multi-touch interface made famous by Apple's iPhone.

Bell also pointed out that buyers have options among other ultra-portables, although the X300 and Air are distinguished by their thinness, weight, screen size and full keyboard. But he was confident that, in the not-too-distant future, "you'll be seeing this form factor from all the major vendors."
