   I tried running some simple SELECT queries on the sample Wikipedia dataset of a few GBs. Most queries took 5 to 10 seconds, which is not exactly fast. Moreover, it is super expensive with their 'data processed' based pricing. It actually co

    An iPetition will only fall on deaf ears of Indian Government. We should probably organize a real protest and take this to streets. Retailers protested against FDI and forced Government to reconsider it.

    This is insane! Indian Government will tax startups 32.5% on any angel funding received. But, they give tax holidays to larger companies under SEZ scheme. It can be cheaper and more viable for Indian startups to incorporate in Singapore or

    Does anyone from MPAA ever read what Internet industry, bloggers or customers have to say? Do they read any articles like these or it is just falling on deaf ears?

    He will require a H1-B visa to move and work in US. But unfortunately, you require a 4 year degree to be eligible for H1-B or 12 years work experience. So, H1-B is out of question. The only viable option is to join a University in Silicon V

    Organ transplant is a for-profit industry in India. Blood, bone marrow, kidneys; everything is bought and sold. There are no waiting lists, doctors sell it to the highest bidder. Indian doctors engage in organs trading, nice doctors would h

    This may lead to a herd mentality and few users will flag every post they can find to earn karma. The bad content does not get up votes and automatically goes down hill.

    I haven't bought any magazine or newspaper since I bought iPad. Online content monetization is in a bad state at the moment. Advertising CPMs continue to decline and most users won't pay for content.

    I get several emails like this everyday. All of them go straight to trash. This is called link trading for SEO. Google is strictly against this practice.
