The most famour Sanskrit Verse from India : "karmanya Eva Adhikastha, maa Phaleshu kada Chana" - Do your work without thinking of the returns.

I hear a lot of people saying this. Do you have any data points links for the same?. Just curious.

Finally only means that someone has been waiting for the mentioned stuff for a long time. It doesn't imply that it was the most important thing for the person.

I think you meant "Review".

Yes, Extremely detailed.

Can you elaborate on why you think it's not a coherent thought?.

some examples of bad writing?.

and why you think it's lunatic raving ?.

withought these my friend, you are just doing the same you are accusing zack of.

in short, be objective.

>> "no one cares about caste at least in the cities" I find this to be reasonably close, till it comes to marriage. Very few families wholeheartedly agree for an Inter caste marriage.

Dowry is a deeply rooted cultural custom in some regions India where the Bride's father/family has to pay a heavy sum of money to the bridegroom or family in order for the marriage to take place.

Now, I hear you ask : "Why do they need to pay?. can't she marry someone else?". It's difficult to explain. But I will try.

Love-Marriage (Name for the "not arraged by families" marriage) is still a No-No in india. Which means your parents finds a girl/guy for you. Also,you are supposed to find a bride/bride groom from the same relegion-caste you are from.

So, if everyone expects dowry in your relegion/caste,you end up with no other option but to pay the money to get your girl married.

Now the amount of Dowry varies according to the bride grooms family status & of course the qualification and job of the bride groom. If the bride groom has moved outside india, specially to US or UK, the dowry paied increases considerably, as it's considered a socially prestegious thing and he is considered a winner in Life.

Hence the Guy in question asking to be sent to US. And "Crore" is a word used to denote 10 million Indian Rupees.

>> btw no one has described the employee as a whistle-blower

"publicly exposed exaggerated Android EVO sales numbers" reads like he is a whistle blower. and it doesn't express what really happend.

I totally agree to your second point.

I think Means "eat less, more frequently" when he say eat like a bird.

"What to exclude and What to include in a product is part of making a product.That's what the customers pay us for, to make great products. If we succeed, they'll buy them. If not, they won't." - simple. I think the expiry date on the Apple-Flash press mania has reached and it's time to move on...

Can someone tell me why this is downvoted?.

>>Has it really worked well in PCs?

90-10 in favour of windows.

Yes, Can we do this till they apologise publically and withdrew all links to this story please?. Let's do something than just talking.

Then the Question is how many times in your Life you had something in your hand which was of great loss to saomeone if you misplaced it?.

or .. "not".

Can you tell me Why?. How can you morally judge a person without knowing him?,If his story is true, he gave up a $200,000/Annum Job.

I think these comparisons are a little off base. If i am not hungry at night, I normally skip the dinner. If I am on a lazy mood on a weekend, I skip my shower/shower in the evening. You don't have to question everything, but you shouldn't do anything that doesn't make sense to you. and that's barely the case in big business environment.

Have to add that the sacrifice is not the 16K, but it is the $200,000/Year salary.16 K was just the signing bonus.

The Assumption here seems to be that these kind of decisions are 'one second' ones. sadly, they are not. Most people in most situation take time in deciding one way or other. Mostly until they find a strong push in either direction. In this case it seems to be the confidentiality agreement.

Someone who loves a bit of irony?. It's so sad that a site talking about the art of design and creating something which can't be copied has a pretty ordinary site template.

That's a good list, but when I saw that the crunchpad joke was rated the highest, that rating idea felt like an april fool prank.

I am yet to meet anyone who is afraid of success, I think it more a case of the fear of Failure.

Spot on. The Diffrence a college degree can make when you are looking for your initial job is enormous.

if you do engineering from a Top rated college in India (IIT), the starting salary(Annual) would be 20,000 USD

if you do engineering from a Medium Rated college in India ,the starting salary(Annual) would be 10,000 USD

if you do engineering from a Low Rated college in India , the starting salary(Annual) would be 5,000 USD

all these cases, only if you have scored more than 65 or 70 % in the course. If you haven't, then majority of the big companies doesn't even consider your resume.

If you are really good, but with no degree, most of the companies won't take you in. The ones which do, would take you in as an intern with pay as low as 1000 USD/Annum. (Sometimes with no pay).

I have a cousin who is immensley talented on the networking side, but he has no engineering degree. it took him nearly 7 years to reach the initial pay of a person with an engineering degree.

What makes you think that Einstein has no expertise in being successful/ leading a great life ?.

c) e-Readers/Tablets don't make the barrier to entry much higher. (You can publish stuff on the Kindle for free, for instance: https://dtp.amazon.com/mn/signin). Hence it's hard to see how he can compete in the tablet/e-Reader space any better than he could compete online.

-- e-readers and Tablets may not make the barrier to entry tougher. But it might get them more subscriptions if apple implements subscription through itunes.

oh!.i mis-understood his comment. Thanks for the clarification.

"a massive sell-off could destabilize the dollar to the point that traders would favour other currencies (most likely the Euro), and that would accelerate the fall" >> I understand that you mean the fall of China. Can you elaborate?. How will traders favouring Euro is going to crush china?. (If they have already sold of the Treasurey Bonds, that is).

Just like to add that once I watched the movie "Blood Diamond", I am all the more reluctant to buy Diamonds. Never know what you end up sponsoring.
