But where does this $2.5bn get spent on ? Will data centers and employees cost this much.. Also since this is a loss, the actual costs must be much higher than this...

Not really. All the salaried employees have to file the returns. Every year this time, it will be a cash festival for CAs and non-CAs who charge around 150-250 to get it done. Of course, it might look like less but if you consider the volum

Wish I have seen this last week :). Had to pay 250 bucks to a CA. I tried filing through the income tax website before that.. it looked okay, but you have to jump through a lot of hoops before getting it right. Also, it looked too flaky so

Regarding (1), this is a good suggestion and I think it should be on the front page where users can have a quick look before proceeding.

Though the semi-automated systems using humans can break CAPTCHAs, there are still scenarios where using it makes sense. For example, to prevent DoS attacks, a CAPTCHA might be employed to route visitors from one part of the site to another

It's all fun and games to imagine attackers and script kiddies having trouble with this. But its scary to think what might happen if one the innocent visitors/customers are marked as attackers by mistake.

You are correct. This portion appears to be in public domain (though not publicly available). Non-profit or not, the fact remains that most of these documents remain behind pay-walls while still being considered to be in public domain. You

I think the title is kind of wrong. The torrent author says: "I've had these files for a long time, but I've been afraid that if I published them I would be subject to unjust legal harassment by those who profit from controlling access to

Now any future litigant will think twice before tackling Cisco. I'm sure they consider that part a win, even if they had to finally settle.

Looks like Reliance aims to be the small brother of RIAA. They already have an image as crooks among consumers.. this will only make it worse.. don't know who to blame, courts for giving a blanket order or over eager ISPs.

More than customer service, hangouts will be great for sales demos of products (just imagine getting the products demoed and questions clarified for products ordered from ebay).

How will this stop governments from forcing ISPs to block sites? Its ridiculous to assume that the governments censoring content will let ISPs provide a loophole through which their users can access blocked sites..

I don't get it, isn't licensing the whole point of software patents.. sharing IP with the world and receiving royalties in return ? So how can Apple refuse to license the patent to HTC ?

I hope some kind of Open VM comes in future so that languages can evolve independent of libraries. It will be awesome to run C# and Java on the same VM.

Indian ISPs found a curious way of tackling these situations. Since they sell their plans as unlimited, they can't fully cut off the internet access. So as soon as the fair use limit is crossed, the speed drops to punishing 256kbps till the

Their outlook on using their patent portfolio has changed in these past few years. As their reputation for innovation goes down, their reputation for trolling is going up.I guess trolling is inversely proportional to innovation after all.
