The good (really, the bad) news is that whatever seems to have happened, haven't really happened. No user's data is ever deleted by Google (or any other company) ever, even if you have deleted your account. If you run some hosting

You can use it as a nice calculator too. say, search for '1m in inch', or simple calculations like '2+5*23' etc. Can windows do that? I don't know

About ₹10,000-20,000 would be enough for a middle class family (say, about 5 members) to live for a month. How about USD required when in US?

We don't usually use million or billion. We use lakh (100 thousand) and crore (10 million). This is very common. Most news papers don't ever use the terms million or billion. Many Indians find it hard to understand what million an

The government have much less replacements in cash for the cash being circulated. They need most of the money to go virtual, to bank accounts. They need every possible money to be tracked. I didn't have an active bank account until now
