Doesn't matter if you're the best programmer in the world once you hit 40 - it's up or out, and there aren't that many "up" jobs.
Just hit 40, and I try to hide from recruiters, really.. My Linkedin inbox is filled with messages that I didn't care to respond to, from all the top name companies and hot startups. Either the job market in the valley is so hot or the above premise is false.
How do you know? Any statistics to back this up? Chances are good that some of the apps on your iPhone *were* developed in one of the countries you mentioned.
"Hey bottoms ASAP. But on the religious anyways, call me back and I'm at my just call me back. Thank you."
"Hey what's going on man, this is in 2 mother and anything any cool commands. We have some. Please let me stop you have a cable is nothing important. Bye. "
"Hey Todd, on a bit. The Negro, then I put in an active on plan and payPal okay called up and have a couple (630) 440-6809. Okay bye. "
It should get a lot of traction since Android has a fantastic API, written by very smart developers for developers. I was playing with it briefly and was very impressed. The setup was breeze and tooling (Eclipse integration) is excellent! Do people who write Android apps for a living concur or there any issues in scaling?
That is because the telecom operators make most of their money from value added services and not from SMS. For instance, lots of people pay for services like cricket alerts, that cost Rs. 30/month and upwards.
I believe extent of adoption and the volume are reasons why SMS is priced as such in the US. Initially it was never intended to be commercialized.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_message_service#SMS_as_part_of_GSM
In India, we don't pay for receiving SMS. The cost of sending SMS is very cheap. Carriers make money, not with SMS alone, but what they call as Value Added Services (VAS). Many people subscribe to get daily horoscopes, cricket alerts etc., which is really the cash cow for carriers. Yes, we do get spams, but also get valuable community messages, like asking us to take our kids to get free polio drops etc.
That's an interesting comparison between a company and a country. Nevertheless, consider a scenario where a cheap electronics company in China calls itself "Intel", has the same logo, floods the market with vastly inferior chips and most of all, state supported. Now what do you think Intel/US can do about this?
Very few Americans take the public transport system. They like to be free and drive even it means a 90 minute commute time. So the less cars argument goes away:)

Yes, well said. Very sad news. Atul's contribution to Indian Linux community is immeasurable. RIP Atul.
Enough said...
It will take off but you need software to fill in what was assumed users would do.
OpenCalais (http://www.opencalais.com/) does most of that already.
You may want to consider Notion Ink's Adam http://blog.laptopmag.com/hands-on-with-notion-ink-adam-prototype-its-amazing http://notionink.wordpress.com/ Seems like it has better readability. But it will not be out until the middle of the year though.

Some of my funny ones here:

Microsoft and NASA on the same line? I wonder if this is going to take off!!
Dude, I believe you are in a college to study!
One of the New Yorkers munched on cake.
Well said. One more serious contender and probably one that has a better chance of succeeding is Flashlite.

Seems like implementation of GA in hardware.. the title seems misleading.
