This is what I would like to know more about. Other day I picked up a 32oz smoothie, which said this is equivalent to 40 strawberries, 1 banana and 6 apples. How is that possible in only $5? Do they get fruits so cheap to make up for other

One annoying thing about Techmeme is the linked tweets, they are just snarky comments from famed critics on twitter. Majority of the time, they do not add any value but a tongue in cheek remark. I would like them to be more selective in lin

This is pure desperation and raking nationalistic fire by the CEO of newkia. The name sounds like a generic Chinese knockoff of Nokia, and they started the company in hopes of Nokia guys jumping ship to them. In reality, it looks like they

Is there any recourse for her? Because I have done this times too many, i join hangouts and then delete the G+ afterwards. I will be terrified if curated music playlists get removed from my YouTube channel.

Yes, it is an accessory. Compatible only with Samsung products, and not all of them apparently [1]. [1]- https://twitter.com/androidpolice/status/375317526755827712

I can see your comments on the original article fine. I do not think that you are hellbanned. If you were shadow banned, won't the comments be invisible to me?

Super 30 is a good initiative, but what the news generally masks is that his students enter IIT through reservation. In India, special seats are reserved for "backward castes", and these students typically do not need to score as

Quoting TOmi Ahonen's blog here should be blasphemy , to be frank. He presents a very contorted narrative, with unjustified venom. As for as his summarizing things with hard data, take a look here: https://news.ycombinator.c

Tomi Ahonen is as anti-Nokia and MS as it gets, and hence I do not enjoy his blog. As his narrative stretches the truth a lot, and prime example is his Nokia analysis. Nokia was already in decline with Symbian, but go on his blog and he pre

Exactly. This acquisition gels well with the "devices and services" narrative. It helps that Microsoft has good hardware division, and combined with Nokia I hope they find traction in Mobile market. This is a good acquisition for

And make it available in as many countries outside NA. I would also like: - LTE, - GPS, - a good Lumia 1020-esqe camera, - Thunderbolt port. Basically, a state-of-the-art machine (Not that above technology makes it really state-of-the-art).

Enterprises have their own separate store and the Enterprise Surface RTs allow sideloading [1]. And I think XDA developers already have a jailbreak tool and can compile desktop applications on RT [2,3]. [1]- http://technet.micro

I like the concept; amazing and gorgeous machine. I will be in market next year to upgrade my present laptop. Pro solves portability problems, and can be a single machine all over for me. I want Microsoft to pack in state-of-the-art innovat

I like your idea, and I think it should be a bit of column A and column B. Kickstart the platform from both ends, users and developers and then let the momentum ride itself from then on.

You are talking about Surface RT. Side loading will allow the present troves of ransomware and nasty toolbars to run amok on the Start Screen. And just allowing sideloading will not generate considerable interest among masses, to be frank.

Thank you for the link. It is interesting to see trajectory of one of your peers. I am from the UofA and want to go in a similar direction. :)

I was interested to know why is shoplocket not listed on your LinkedIn? Obviously, this might be a personal question, and no answer is deemed necessary but was just curious about the direction of the original project.

It is remarkable. It is a game of chess. You have to be in upper 4000 ranks to land a good engg. stream. And the ranks often have incredibly minor mark differences between them, which makes for harsher penalties in form of being denied good

As an undergrad product of one of the IITs, and among one of the last ones to write a main exam back in 2005, this was a nice article to read and a bit too self aggrandizing. One of the most amazing things about being on IIT campus was the

Drivers can either return the fresh battery pack upon their journey past the service station, or keep it. Tesla will bill later for the difference in value, and Musk says that the service will cost about the same as a tank of gas. Source:

This is also an incentive to improve tech in some of the directly related fields: Solar, Battery tech, Self driving cars. Electric cars are huge improvement, which will lube lots of gears into motion 15-20 years down the line. But I also wa

Definitely, there will be progress. Right now, conventional fuels provide 80% of electricity. It is estimated that by 2100, fusion energy will provide 20% of electricity generation.

Wow. This is incredible. Nicely designed, electric power vehicles. Incredible. Finally, after around 130 years of IC engine, we are onto the next step. And this step is such a simple method to refuel. Better than spending 30 mins recharging
