   How do they get them to pay a years worth of salary if they quit? I doubt this ever happens. Though I don't doubt fresh grads believing them and sticking it out.

   That's a good set of rules. I'll add one more - keep the sentences short. Some people say a whole lot without having anything much to say.

   "Large scale wars" happen when both sides are equally balanced in resources. When was the last time that happened?

   Large scale war? Give me a break. The white flags will go up as soon as people loose access to their facebook streams or hackernews for that matter.

   Indeed, getting Indians to move from buying gold for no good reason to buying garbage for no good reason = progress to first world status.

    All the negative stories and tweets in the world won't make a difference. Their prices(that only they can offer at the scale they operate at) and marketing budget will nullify it as Walmart and Amazon have already proven in the past.

    Content creators get paid for their content. If it's peanuts, it is because the internet is the largest market out there.

    Apple|MS|Samsung|Intel and who ever else is sitting on tons of cash need to use Google's tactics of free everything(os,browser,video,docs,mail etc) against Google if they ever want to seriously compete with them. The ideal open neutral

    Unrelated but anyone know when the Speech API gets into other browsers? Is Mozilla going to be hosting recognition servers?

    The US military went to Iraq for no good reason. Does it really matter what their submarines and drones can do?

    What about Google Search? Its all a black box these days. The only way this changes is the data needs to be opened up. Giving a few hundred nerds in an ivory tower access to all that hardware and data just makes the black box blacker.

    Right. Also I am just happy the brightest tech minds in the world occupy themselves with this kind of BS.

    This is not about karma. States in India which have had stable majorities, through their full term in power, have seen progress. This progress has come despite the corruption, personalities, parties, freebies, policies etc because the Indi

    A whole lot of comments take the tone, this kind of stuff only happens "over there". I found it relevant to point out this isn't exactly true. Please go look at the Steubenville case and ask yourself is there really a differe

    Porn is definitely a sensitive subject around here. I have been down voted into oblivion before for bringing it up. I guess the accepted opinion around here is as long as women get paid to be objectified its all cool. And ofcourse there are

    Right. Objectifying women is okay as long as they get paid. And I guess in this fantasyland rape never happens too.

    I agree. But just a word of caution, if we are talking about misogyny and treating women as sexual objects, lets also talk about the porn industry(which today is as responsible for the existence of the internet, as advertising is for Google

    I agree with most of what you say. There's just one point I want add. I have been to India and the US multiple times. If I judged the US, just based on my experiences living in downtown Detroit or Newark I would never visit the US ever
