Employment based PR depends on luck. If someone was lucky enough to be born outside of India / China, they will likely get their PR within 1 - 3 yrs. Otherwise they have to do everything in their power to stay in the good graces of the

I tried that, but everyone besides me found the interface annoying to use, they preferred the Smart TV's slow and crappy UI over a computer desktop. So the AppleTV has been a nice compromise, plus support for various media formats such

This is precisely the reason I do not connect my TV to my home network. I use a AppleTV for streaming content. Once in a while I check the manufacturer's page, and if there's a firmware update, I factory reset my TV to remove any

Dabbawala isn't a fair comparison. - The person making the food in the case of Dabbawala, is usually someone's wife. That's basically unpaid labor. Its not fair for the wife, but that's a different discussion, staying on
