Yahoo Research Branches Out In India

Yahoo Research is preparing to establish a research lab in Bangalore; it is also going to begin a string of lectures in India called the "Big Thinker Series." And while that rather silly name may not demand respect, the series should focus on serious and relevant issues within the fields of "science, technology, and the internet."
