Nude pics land Yahoo! in trouble
MUMBAI: Cecilia Barnes spells Rs $ 3 million for search engine giant Yahoo Inc, and how? Oregon-based Barnes has sued the company for that amount for failing to remove nude photos of her from the profile of her former boyfriend.
Barnes, 48, has claimed in the lawsuit that her former boyfriend began posting naked pictures of her in Yahoo! profiles. Also included were her personal mail ids along with phone numbers. The photos were taken and posted on the net without her consent
“Due to these profiles and online chats, unknown men would arrive without warning at the plaintiff’s work station expecting to engage in sexual relations with her,” the lawsuit claims.
According to media reports, Barnes had informed the company of these activities in January asking them to take action against her former boyfriend, though she failed to receive any feedback from the company. More attempts to get these images removed from the Internet failed in the following months leading to this lawsuit.
The important bit however is the fact that she did receive a verbal communication from Yahoo! director of communications Mary Osako, who promised that the images would be removed from the online profile database. Laws in United States, however, protect the online companies from lawsuits pertaining to information that is published by third parties.
Early this month, the internet was abuzz with stories concerning the $10 million lawsuit filed on 9 May against Yahoo!, which charges that co-defendant Mark Bates and others were allowed to share child pornography on a site provided by the Yahoo! Groups service. A site called Candyman allegedly was created by Bates using Yahoo! resources to share child porn.

Swiggy sees record orders during India vs New Zealand T20 final
Chicken biryani tops match-day menu as fans order 7,500 times per minute at peak.
MUMBAI: India’s T20 final didn’t just break stumps, it broke Swiggy’s delivery records, proving cricket fans celebrate victories with plates, not just flags. Swiggy, India’s leading on-demand convenience platform, reported a sharp spike in food orders during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final between India and New Zealand. On 8 March 2026, overall orders rose 23.2 per cent year-on-year compared with the same date in 2025, driven by fans turning living rooms into mini stadiums complete with match-day feasts.
Key highlights from the evening:
- Orders during peak match hours (7–10 pm) were 2.1 times higher than pre-match levels.
- The highest order rate hit 7,500 orders per minute at 19:45.
- Chicken biryani reigned supreme as the most-ordered dish, followed by masala dosa, chicken fried rice, garlic breadsticks and paneer butter masala.
While metros such as Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad led volumes, the cricketing fever spread nationwide. Among emerging cities, Thiruvananthapuram, Surat and Rajkot recorded the strongest order growth. Smaller markets including Shillong, Agartala and Port Blair also showed significant appetite, underlining the expanding footprint of quick-commerce food delivery across India.
The surge reflects a growing trend of pairing major sporting events with doorstep delivery, turning big matches into shared, convenient celebrations. In a night where every boundary mattered, Swiggy proved the real MVP might just be the delivery partner who kept the snacks and the vibes flowing without missing a single wicket.
