By his own admittance, OP worked for one company for 6.5 years and had ONE good manager. I suspect his bad experience with managers, Indian or otherwise, had as much or more to do with his employer and the work culture. Another indicator th

I don't think the fact that you are Indian justifies your self-admitted bias against Indian managers.

As ergo98 said, fragmentation=lack of portability=non-developer-friendly. Android is far, far better at code portability than J2ME in its (non) hey-day, if for no other reason than that I don't need to have my Android app certified by each

I have a lot of respect for James Gosling but claiming that J2ME is more developer friendly than developing for Android is kind of ridiculous. IMO Anyone who has tried to write apps for pre-Android phones using J2ME and tried Android develo

In local usage, "Jugaad" is used like "Hustle". Both have a class component and imply getting things done in the face of difficulty. The difference is that Jugaad is less likely to involve something illegal.

Good catch. Firefox's auto-correct is still not smart enough to catch misused words :)

Actually, most of the criticism aimed at Google for this issue stems from the fact that they do claim to be a pure entity by trumpeting "Don't be evil". Most people are resigned to large corporations always acting in their self interest,

Actually you have at least 12 months to work on your startup via the OPT. If you can make it work and generate revenue, you can get the startup e-verified and then you would have another 15 months.

Did you miss the part where the page also says Android? I am using a Motorola i1 running android with a sim card in it. If you are traveling to the US, one of the cheapest ways of getting a data plan without a contract is to buy a prepaid M

I am in a unique situation. I am using a GSM phone with GPS mainly as a location sensor. So, I don't need any voice minutes, just unlimited data, for as low a cost as possible. 3G would be nice, but don't even really need 3G. Other than spo

I am using Boost on the Motorola i1 which runs Android. I haven't tried it with the iPhone.

Fantastic, added Boost Mobile info for the U.S. Anyone know of a prepaid SIM provider other than Boost who does unlimited data in the U.S.? Boost coverage is too spotty for me.

I have to admit Sibal has been doing good things with his education portfolio such as Eliminating 10th Standard board exams and allowing students to pick optional subjects regardless of stream. Fingers crossed for this and other ambitious p

Based on past experience (personal and otherwise), any technology or project touted by the Indian government (and most governments, at that) is vaporware until shipped. The $30 number is doubtful because quite regularly, the government subs

From second hand experience I can tell you that if you have a problem that money can solve (for example a serious health problem for which an expensive cure exists), but not enough money to solve it, it can be as bad as or worse than a prob

He says he now avoids peer-reviewed journals because they're read closely by scientists in countries that America considers to be threats. Wow. Terror as an excuse for draconian policy, I have come to expect. This is the first time I am s

Georgia Tech is great but tough. You will have to start early and work hard to do good research, but the good thing is, they have a formal program for undergrad research. Check out : http://www.cc.gatech.edu/research/undergrad/

Pretty profound interview. Jobs always seems to put thought into his answers, rather than using "canned speak" which most CEOs resort to. At least his older interviews are like that. I went looking for a page with a collection of all of his

Interesting viewpoint. I think Wikipedia, Wikileaks, the use of Blogs, Twitter and even the epitome-of-corporate-antiprivacy that is Facebook by political movements: all present very strong counterevidence to your claim that the web has not

Excellent advice and very timely for me. Especially the advice about finding an 'advocate' in the customer's organization with the authority to over-ride lawyers and negotiating high level points with him.

Are you saying that if I explicitly set my privacy settings on Facebook to be fully private, it is still o.k. for Facebook to make my data public because I should have no expectation of privacy on the Internet?
