London, Dec 1 : A teenager, who is an expert at kung-fu, proved to be too much of a match for a machete-wielding raider, who was threatening his little sister in their holiday flat.

Brit Redmond Lee, 13, is said to have put the masked burglar out of commission with an arm lock and then snatching the 2ft razor-sharp blade from him.

Seeing the intruder holding the weapon over his 11-year-old sister Millina’s head, at the luxury Southern Palms beach resort hotel in Barbados, Lee leapt into action.

The crook barely escaped with his life after Lee’s mum Benita, 45, threw hot coffee in his face and his dad Dane, 44, who is also a kung-fu expert, threw him out.

London, Dec 1 : One computer device could be called as being most ‘in touch’ with humans –the mouse, which celebrates it’s 40th birth anniversary today.

The first computer mouse, developed 4 decades ago, was a little wooden box with a single red button on top and a wire hanging from the back, because of which it was likened to a rodent.

And while computers have transformed from big white boxes to cool flat screens and laptops, the mouse has, more or less, stayed the same.

But, its designer, Douglas Engelbart, is not a rich man giving orders in a huge IT firm.
