News: 2,500 Lehman India employees' fate uncertain

The fate of 2,500-odd employees working for investment banking giant Lehman Brothers in India remains uncertain following its parent company's decision to file for bankruptcy protection in the United States.

However, it highlighted that no other Lehman Brothers' US subsidiaries or affiliates, including its broker-dealer and investment management subsidiaries, are included in the filing.

Tech: Gamer’s kink


Till we saw this machine, we regarded Alienware as the masters in making monster lookalike gameware. But then Acer’s Aspire Predator, with its visor- rising frame, is already scoring points with style aficionados.
