I know, I signed up for an ATT plan soon after landing in US, I already had a GSM Phone that I wanted to continue using. However, choosing to use my own phone did not reduce my phone bill in any way nor was i offered a cheaper plan. So, wh

while I agree with you assessment, isn't the smart phone battle presented as between "iPhone" and "Android" in almost every comparison, including (especially by) Android fans?

That's* like the metric system or something. Won't work in the USA. * Paying full price for your handset, that is.

As a seasoned Python programmer,I think PyPI doesn't even come close to CPAN. CPAN is the only reason that I've kept my Camel book around since 2000, hoping that "someday" I'll learn Perl.

The review is by Javascript library company Sencha. Who can talk about cross browser js compat than the company that has handful of JS libraries that are expected to work across browsers and devices? The website on which the news was posted

Nothing stops the user from using only the frontpage of jottit that provides the exact same functionality with no additional complexity.

To add to my earlier comment: Jottit https://jottit.com has the same minimalist interface, but has a lot more features to offer. * "WYSIWYG" editing with Markdown syntax. * Custom subdomains * Access control * https * Custom t

Plone. Obsessively focussed on being user friendly. http://plone.org/products/plone/features/ There are many features that are part of core plone, that many other CMSes do not even think exist in a CMS. Anybody suggesting Wordpress as a C

Someone said on Stack overflow, "I use Vim for manipulating text, Emacs to do programming and Firefox to look at funny cat pictures". I agree with that assessment.

Once again, the incentives. There is no obvious cultural incentive for smart Indians to share their knowledge on the "anonymous" internet. People look for "leverage". Sad, but true. This is the same reason why contributions to Open Source i

Apologies. English is only my second(?) language. I did not mean to drive any such meaning from what you said. :) I might have generalized the answer too much to answer all the comments I've been reading here and on reddit.

As usual, most people here are trying to "understand" Indians by looking at some comments. Some people would like nothing better than shoe horn every Indian student into "them stupid Indian" and feel smug. The amount of clue-less students

If you had shown the same humility and caution before calling him names AND posting inflammatory posts on HN, nobody would have known about this. If you notice, he chose not to publicize this on twitter & HN unlike you.
