Is Google in forever beta?

Number of Google products that have been released off late haven't had such a charmed run. Be it Nexus1 or Wave or now Buzz.. all have some basic issues left un-addressed by the Google.

Looks like beta is a way of life at Google :)

But good thing is that Google does listen to customers more often than not ...

यह क्या माया है ??

Maya strikes a right note with I-T returns


This news is bit intriguing for me ...
Enquiries showed Mayawati sold her 2, Sardar Patel Marg house for Rs 60 crore and made a gain of Rs 42 crore within one year of its purchase. She had purchased the house in 2006 for about Rs 18 crore.
Mayawati has paid 30 per cent tax on her short term capital gain, which comes to around Rs 12 crore. The transaction has been reflected and justified in her I-T return, according to authoritative sources.
First of all .. why would she sell the house??
Secondly .. both buying and selling prices may not be right prices?

Why this transaction? Does this deal allow her to account for Rs. 42 crore now in her books?
Just wondering if this is jugglery or new tax paying avataar of our politicians?

Mauritius is famous as haven for tax evading companies (people ?) ...
