  1. Why fret about a supply chain when it can exist on on Open Source Hardware Approaching Critical Mass · · Score: 1

    I am a newbie when it comes to open source hardware but doesn't things like arduino and raspberry pi do not need any chain (owing to non proprietary nature) for distribution and ebay/alibaba can do the rest.

  2. Re: if that were true on Obama Administration Claims There Are 545,000 IT Job Openings · · Score: 1

    But it is a mad rush in India for developers to go to USA at any cost and companies resort to fraudulent practices to ship people onsite irrespective of their skills.

  5. Re:Shivaji Bhosle Was Historical Figure, Not Deity on Outrage In India Over Arrests For Facebook Posts · · Score: 1

    You can start from slashdot(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiv_Sena), which clarifies its name. afa congress is concerned, it is ruled by a daughter of italian mafia and not entirely a hindu/north indian household. Yes, the shiv saniks together with thakrey & his son/nephew are a bunch of disciplined chaps who just enforce their wisdom on us, the average Indians and enlighten us to follow regional terrorism. so, stfu and get your facts correct.

  12. Re:Downside: requires app/plug-in on Intel Demos McAfee Social Protection · · Score: 1

    amen to that

  13. Re:Analog hole on Intel Demos McAfee Social Protection · · Score: 1

    So why upload some image, which is only visible from a proprietary plugin in the first place?

  14. Re:NEVER on Tata Intends To Sell Air-Powered Car In India · · Score: 1

    "you could use it anywhere you could use a scooter. " Try riding this car in a bazaar (typical Indian streets) 45 mph = 72kmph; which is much more than typical Indian street traffic (its somewhere around 50kmph). $10k = Too much for an average Indian, Tata nano costs around 3K and other budget sized cars cost around 5k, so this is definitely overpriced from Indian market's POV.

  15. Re:Obligatory Simpsons Quote on Tata Intends To Sell Air-Powered Car In India · · Score: 1

  18. Re:Notes from part time developer on Should Developers Support Windows Phone 8? · · Score: 1

    IMO, the android app market is huge, and there are apps that make revenue via ads. No better IDE ? - That's personal. I've found eclipse to be more lightweight than VS, but YMMV. Currently, windows phones are not that commonplace for an average developer to make money, and as a average phone user, I'd prefer android/ios anytime over wp due to app availability - so its a chicken and hen problem.

  19. too little, too late? on WikiLeaks Begins Release of 2.5m Syrian Emails · · Score: 1

    It seems to be this way, as the civil war rages on unabated in Syria.

  20. Re:You're talking to the wrong crowd on WikiLeaks Begins Release of 2.5m Syrian Emails · · Score: 1, Insightful

    How come wikileaks is anti-US ? All it did was to leak the documents provided by its collaborators. If people in other countries also leak information, it would be available on a public use. The US dossier was very big and it came after the chilling video of civilians being killed, so it generated such a bang.

  23. All FUD on TomTom Flames OpenStreetMap · · Score: 0

    Going by their argument, if community driven approach is not correct most of the time, then why do we rely on wikipedia? I have used various mapping softwares in rural places and they either report wrong location, or better still, 'No maps are available for this area' Bottomline: It is all FUD on their part of marketing their product.
