Is it an extension to San José International Airport, or exclusive airport for google? How does that work out? I am confused by "The companies would be granted a 50-year lease and pay an estimated $2.6m in annual rent, along with an estimat

I have registered for the test kit. I really appreciate the way amit and friends have set up the campaign. This gives maximum chance for him to survive and also helps other victims as well, since they might contact you if some one else need

According to wikipedia, flipkart was funded by founders with Rs 4 lakh and broke even in 2008, I don't understand how it is loss making. It is certainly not worth $1 billion now, but so was facebook when it was funded by MS. I don't think a

Sugar coating email invite is lame. There was a time when I almost always saw google doing awesome things. Now it doesn't look any different from other big companies like microsoft or IBM. I wonder if it is possible to be a big company and

I would love to see someone compete with FB to prevent it from becoming a total monopoly. Having said that, it is really difficult to believe that google can do that, based on the last few new products from google.

This post needs some content. It is indeed hard to find technical co-founders. But finding employees is not as hard as finding co-founders. Spending time on SO, hn and some mailing lists on the technology you are planning to use will help t

Things come and go in HN, but that cannot be a primary reason to quit HN itself. Today it is TSA, yesterday it was offer hn etc. I have gained more in knowledge than what I have lost in time on HN, as long as it is that way, I am staying.

Thanks for the nice reply. My first experience with GAE was not good, after that I have never looked at it. I took a look at webapp and tipfy, both look good. I will make some time to give it a try.

I first learnt how system calls transition from user space to kernel space when I read this book. Till then I had not understood the mechanism, though I knew what software interrupt is.

Interesting read. One of the most important reason I use open source software as opposed to proprietary ones is the confidence that open source software will not try to do anything evil. I believe that message can reach China also.

Definitely worth a try. I am concerned about my discipline to come back to work after playing a game for 30 mins. May be playing TT would be better idea, since I feel playing physical games refreshes me more that video games.

I was really sad to see India ranked so low. I remember my friend starting a company by paying Rs 6000 to broker, who took care of all the things. Things work differently in India, if you do not go through a broker, you might take a few wee

I am curious about how Facebook will manage to hold on to its users if some other more attractive social networking site opens up. We do remember what happened to Myspace and Orkut. Google could hold on to search because it was very hard fo
