Consolidation of power & government surveillance is horrible and there is no doubt about it. But it is something only people living in developed countries like US feel insecure about. In developing countries like India there are far mor

I doubt these no.s are really true. I feel these numbers are extrapolated after a survey over a small no. of people in a locality. H1b workers are not allowed to do freelancing. They need to have a regular office job. Major chunk of technol

The big problem with open office plan is that when people form groups and talk, it becomes distraction for everyone else. You cannot expect that people always move out of the working area to have small discussions. I was working in an offic

@Yoavm, what pisses me more is that both Apple & Google now have a yearly update of their OS and all they shamelessly showcase on stage is emoji's and notifications.

Funny thing that I was having a discussion with one of my friend who is in the middle of salary negotiation. The company is pushing him hard to accept the offer well below than his expectations and he was expecting more hike as he was reloc

In the end, I see all these apps dying. Even hangouts is crappy. They don't have a native mac client. Hangouts was a decent chat app they had. I wish they promoted hangouts as cross platform and as a competitor to both whatsapp and sky

I am from India and I can tell you that there are 2 things that I find in India are very much unique and exotic. 1. Indian culinary skills are something very rare. I have travelled around of the world and seen the culinary skills everywhere

I wouldn't blame the audio quality. It is more about different humans have different kinds of accent which makes the same word sound differently. Considering the different accents, I would say 6% error rate is pretty good compared wher

I would use Linux on servers hands down. There is no doubt about it period. But I would not put myself in the torcher of using it on Desktop/Laptop. The UI is buggy and applications crash frequently. No matter how good google docs or a

we are not managing the land area efficiently as a result the major cities are getting overpopulated. I don't understand the point of paying millions for a 1/2 bedroom apartment in the middle of a city and then complain about city

The major problem with Internet service providers in India is the way they set their pricing. They put huge caps on mobile internet data. I pay like $40 for my high speed internet connection(our internet speeds are very poor compared to the

This might seem like a cool idea at first. But, why they did not built an elevated metro/sub-way line. I don't think this kind of vehicle is energy efficient. The aerodynamics of the vehicle doesn't seem to be very good. That
