Corrections and Clarifications

The heading of an item (“Snapshots – Business” page, June 24, 2008) was “vTrendy from Tata Teleservices” while the text did not mention anything about the connection with Tata Teleservices. Virgin Mobile, which has launched the “vTrendy”, is a mobile services brand from Tata Teleservices.

A sentence in the fourth paragraph of a report “PML (N) sees Musharraf’s hand” (“International” page, June 24, 2008) was “But there were at least 16 indirect representations on his behalf, all of which were summarily by the Lahore High Court.” It should have been “summarily rejected”.

The Guardian in its “Corrections and Clarifications” column (June 24, 2008) says “The world’s first stored-program electronic digital computer, the Baby, performed substantially fewer than the 3.5m operations per second that we gave it credit for. Its speed was 600-800 operations per second. The computer was capable of storing 128 bytes, rather than bits, of information (‘Tale of the tape’, June 21, 2008).” The article was published in The Hindu as “The Baby that set off a hi-tech revolution” (“Newscape” page, June 21, 2008).
