TiVo++ from India
charmer writes "According to a story in rediff, a company in India, Divinet Technologies, have developed a set top box that plays video cds, offers sms, email, chat, plays mp3s, acts as a game box, has a web cam, video on demand, and a digital VCR, and has a multilingual interface (a necessity in India.) And it looks pretty good too :-) No pricing given though."
I don't know, but i`m boycotting Indian goods/products/services, and any companies which outsource to India. Saving money is one thing, but I don't want the quality if like in my country (UK) to suffer because of lower taxes paid into the country due to less people working, because they`ve lost their jobs to some foreigner.
Ridiculous, you cannot understand english. What the fuck man you will pay monthly charge for all the channels from Comcast or AT&T without even watching the channel. That is where channel on demand comes in. God give some brains to these arrogant Americans.
This is typical of the lies these wicked jerks keep spreading in the vain hope of earning some respect:
"Consider this: about 30% of Microsoft employees are Indians. Similarly, NASA has more than 25% Inidans.Outside of Seattle, the only other development centers for MS is in Hyderabad, Inida and Israel."
ALL lies! These scoundrels need to be slapped down every time they boast like this. Here are the statistics that need to be SHOVED down their throats: More than half of indian children are malnourished; most indians have no access to clean drinking water; they compete with haiti, chad etc for position at the BOTTOM of U.N. socioeconomic indicators; they produce NOTHING that is world-class; their vaunted IT industry is nothing but a bunch of coolies working for FOREIGN corporations.....and so on.
There is a very good reason that indians are treated with contempt around the world. All these empty boasts are not going to change that.
