  1. 8GB would do the trick ? on SanDisk Releases New iPod rival · · Score: 1

    Having double the storage is not enough to beat the ipod. Hell, its not even the looks. Does it have an AAC codec to beat the ipod? Does it have the clarity of output like the ipod earbuds? The current iPod AAC codec is the best of the breed. iPod emerges as the top AAC codec in test

    radio mirchi is bringing the technology to the country ?
    i've had enough of this dumb radio station. they have a set of 100 crappy remixes that hog all their airtime..
    and now as if it isnt enough proof that they are a crappy commercial radio station, they try to make us buy their crappy remixes as well? i think these channels have a wrong presumption that indians have too much money and they dont know how to spend. post anything about india and you would get enough page impressions eh ?? why dint this come up when finland did it before india ?
    P.S : i am an indian and i am pissed off about /. posts about india

  6. ewwww on Visual Radio Coming to India · · Score: 3, Insightful

    i am an indian.. i wouldnt succumb for hutch's marketing tactics.. i would listen radio because its free.. why would i want a visual radio and spend Rs. 6 per interaction??... already there are a tons of services on hutch that i dont use like wallpaper/ringtone/callertune/music download etc etc etc.. its not a technological marvel either since it hasnt invented something out of the ordinary.. for people who dont understand how crappy this is.. a single local call to another hutch fone costs something like Rs 0.3 for me.. why would i spend about Rs 6 for some crap? its for the teeny boppers and its stupid that its on /.

  13. Re:Is anyone really surprised? on Return of the Web Mob · · Score: 1

    If nothing else, requiring a password before installing an app will solve most of the "naked pictures of celebrity" emails.

    If there is such an option, it would be pretty trite and
    the user would rather turn it off or blindly enter the password
    every other time an exe asks to be run. It defeats the whole
    purpose. Asking Qs for user affirmation each time an OS does
    something is not security.
    thats bad security model

    Typically, a copyrighted download doesn't hurt the copyright holder - but in this case, it most certainly does - as Apple UNFAIRLY will get a bad reputation from bugs on these cheap, cruddy PCs will be blamed on OS X.

    The reasons are deeper than that, terrorism is an excuse that is brought out as a bogey man to try to provide justification for further infringements of civil liberites. The Tony Blair, in the UK, is now pushing an act that will allow any government minister to change almost any bit of legislation without having to bother to pursuade parliament to agree.
