Researchers have found that belly fat, which has earlier been linked to increasing the risk of diabetes and heart disease, also increases the risk of early death. In the study, one of the largest, longest health studies in the world researchers found waist size to be a "powerful indicator" of risk.

The study found that people with the most belly fat had double the risk of dying prematurely as compared to people with less belly fat. This risk held even if the overall body weight was normal.

State-run telecom major Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd has made announcement that the company has linked up with IT products company Novatium Solutions to offer Nova netPC enabled with the BSNL broadband. 
 
According to sources, the key factor that will allow broadband penetration is an affordable computing access device and Nova netPC provides the customers to get home a personal computer at just Rs 2,999.
