Quick notes: Jobs number, Benchmark booster..

• 'Govt counted 40L jobs that weren't created': Against 1.39 crore that the Kaangress govt has claimed, only 93.5 lakh jobs were created.



• Samsung's Kaangress style slyness: AnandTech discovers hard-coded exceptions in Galaxy S4, intended to inflate benchmark figures.



• Bharat Ratna minus the award: Indian philanthropist, cardiac surgeon and founder of Narayana Hrudayalaya, Devi Prasad Shetty has cut the price of coronary bypass surgery to $1,583. The same procedure costs $106,385 at Cleveland Clinic.



• Small states - exactly what problem do they solve? The experience of the last state creation process under the NDA govt, which gave birth to Jharkhand, Uttarakhand and Chhattisgarh, has not been uniformly positive.



• Tulsi leaves for fluoride free drinking water: Fluoride has been linked to a number of negative health effects like bone fractures, thyroid disorders and impaired brain development and function.
