Ah, you're right, my bad.

Relevant part of the terms:

Yeah, and not to forget, the free tier offer expires in November

sathyabhat··on Michael Arrington Resigns From Techcrunch
I was shown the paywall, even though I've hardly visited any page from WSJ from the computer I'm working on.
sathyabhat··on Octopress - A blogging framework for hackers
It's got nothing to do with HN, true, but "X blog engine for Hackers!!!11" grabs more eyeballs than "x blog engine"
sathyabhat··on Comparing Indian states with countries
Apple prices are on an average 10% higher. Most electronic devices are more or less priced higher than, if not equivalent to the US prices.

Maybe mobile phones are less expensive here.

sathyabhat··on 85% Firefox Users Use Add-ons, Only 33% Chrome Users Use Extensions
Chrome numbers are from Dec 2010 as compared to June 2011 in case of Firefox. I don't think it's valid comparison.

Perhaps you should mention on the landing page that this requires a paid Instapaper account.
sathyabhat··on Does the color temperature of a computer screen affect sleep patterns?
For me, it's a case of the colour not being uniform throughout - the lower part is considerably more "whitish" than the upper part, especially with f.lux fully kicked in at night. This basically irritates the heck out of me and I end up disabling it.
sathyabhat··on Does the color temperature of a computer screen affect sleep patterns?
Am I the only person to feel that f.lux is counter-productive? I'm not sure if it's me or my laptop screen.

sathyabhat··on Why there are so many engineers in India
Can we please not have those made-up stats passed off as real ones? Those numbers were conjured up for a stupid email forward which has no citations. http://www.tehelka.com/story_main38.asp?filename=Op290308sin...
sathyabhat··on LastPass requesting password reset after facing unknown anomaly
I found this out when trying to login to LastPass, was redirected to "re-enable your LastPass account" page https://lastpass.com/activate.php
sathyabhat··on De-anonymizing Apple UDIDs with OpenFeint
Yes, that's what happened to me. I sold my iPhone 3G to my friend ( obviously, I had wiped it before handing it over to him).

Now, I had Fruit Ninja installed, and I had signed up for openFient.. and approved the facebook connect.

Imagine my surprise when a day later - my friend installed Fruit Ninja - so not only did it log me in, it also published to my facebook wall as me. Ended up revoking permissions - something which I should have done, but forgot to do so.

Congrats on the project, love it.

Makes reading on cell phones a pain though.
