Latest Watch Dogs demo suggests current gen experience. Watch Dogs , one of a handful of non-sequels set to grace the next generation of consoles upon their release in November (as well as those already on the market, and the PC to boot).

In the live demo we saw (supposedl

Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines to set up new full-service airline NEW DELHI:  Tata Sons  — the founders of Air India — are back in aviation with a bang. The group on Thursday announced it has tied up with  Singapore Airlines  to launch a new full-service airline in India which will initially fly on domestic routes and then head overseas too.

Rupee jumps 158 paise to 1-month high vs US dollar as Federal Reserve defers taper The rupee on Thursday zoomed by 158 paise to trade at over one-month high of 61.80 against the dollar at the Interbank Foreign Exchange market on hopes of increased capital inflows after the US Federal Reserve's surprise decision to keep its stimulus programme intact. The rupee had settled just a paise lower at 63.38 against the dollar in Wednesday's trade.

Meanwhile, stock markets were up by nearly 3 % in the opening trade. The BSE benchmark index soared by 574.13 points, or 2.88 %, to 20,536.29, while National Stock Exchange's Nifty rose by 183.65 points, or 3.11 % to 6,083.10 in opening trade. For source: http:/
