Naavi,Yes, I saw the site a couple of days ago by following the slashdot links and beyond.My problem is why the MEDIA which is the biggest disseminator of information wasn't roped in. I keep a pretty strict watch on the TOI and I never came across any article highlighting these privacy violations.

But there is something we can do when the rules are framed.NaaviNaavi
