On one occasion when Dr. Spreen mentioned her concerns about the quality of Ranbaxy’s AIDS medicines for Africa an executive reportedly said, “Who cares? It’s just blacks dying.” Sounds eerie!

Of all the forums I've tried (I am on many of those very famous forums; have an account and/or have used it at some time or the other) I find MetaFilter the best - minus the interface[1]. In terms of quality and atmosphere of the forum. Ans

Branch is confusing to me too, but I haven't spent much time there. Quora is a plague? How? Could you please elaborate? Actually, I find few things on Quora very interesting and unique to it. Like - You get an answer quickly(answers are mos

Thank you for asking. Seems you have not been paying attention recently. Certainly not in the contxt of microsoft+facebook+gtalk+xmpp+google+talk one way , just google it; but that's my assumption. This is what I meant by "took...3 times".

1. Microsoft/Facebook (and maybe more corporates) didn't play by the rules. They don't believe in "give and take", they just do "take, take,..". Google didn't like it so walked out. Instead of showing the sportsman's spirit and instead d of

Time for email, im, calendar, tasks, notes, docs and other services start-ups (for individual users). Better if they are decentralized. You wouldn't have to move everything at once. But this will also increase costs.

Guys, I am often caught in the rain(in Bangalore it's raining these days - and I've, seeing B'lore traffic, decided to rely on public transport) as I have to walk a lot, from drop points - and I keep walking, reaching home sometimes partial

Thanks for [0] (had listened to few titles including one in your YT link but not all - will get them all) and yes I've listened to [1]. Saved on Spotify :-) How do you manage the language, subtitles? Or you know Hindi/Urdu?

Ghazals, Sufi, Qawwali, old Bollywood melodies[†], rare-few new Bollywood melodies[0], Rock[1], Rock&Roll[1], country, ballad, classical - both western(few)/Indian[2] and Indi-pop[3] This pretty much sums it up. It's very mixed up. Many

All said and done, somehow I feel it looks a little Instagrammy . - More clutter - Less clean - Congested, as in a little border would have done no harm. - Looks loud but maybe that's just Instagrammatical . - For me, at least, the home

FeedBin. But keeping an open mind. Looking for better changes and sync/2rd party support from FeedHQ, NewsBlur and TheOldReader etc. Feedly is not my thing. It's a funny service. No sync to third party client. You need a Firefox client to r

Maybe if they bring the peice down to $1/month or $12 or $10 an year then the number of users might just g up where they are aiming to go. BTW, I have a paid a/c at FeedBin and no complaints till now. Will keep an eye on NewsBlur and some o

Yes, I agree the new interface is a killer(as in bad). But Gmail/Google's ease of use is its USP. You can have chat in browser, GTalk, Adium, Android , Pidgin and all then synced to mail box. You can have calendar everywhere, taks..you name

>> Rackspace has great hosted email for $1/inbox/month. No, it's $10/month minimum. Even if you are just ine user you have to buy 5 user plan. And even per user cost is $2 and not $1. There's no such solution that replaces Gmail. Y

They are not clear on how they host email and IMAP is offered in the top most tiered type of account. BTW, their interface is most famous out there, I guess. AtMail right?

I've a free account - so I open it once in a while. Had enquired some time ago and figured you guys don't host email, rather forward or sth[1]. Still that's the case? I have also read somewhere that you provide XMPP (or not?) but there's

Looks like an open market without hardly a player other than Google and the elk. There's a market specially for paying customers.

If ads are good I actually love looking at them. Occasionally I click too and if they actually catch my fancy, I buy. But this (the last part) is extremely rare.

Dear devs, please do not bring your half baked or invite only apps to the HN front page. No, I am not doubting one of your Internet rights but people's time is wasted and we(at least me) feel not good having to go to a page and face a smile

There's Google Wallet and recently I'e purchased LastPass premium using that, outside Google's shops I mean. So, they just thought it's better to have either of the two - Checkout or Wallet.

What happened to their "only last 80 or 100 or so photos visible for free accounts" feature, is it gone for new free accounts? People resist change but I really believe the old interface was more photographically inclined ! The new inter

Looks very good. Was the back cover added just for show to this sleek phone or it actually covers sth bulged?
