Good for you :) I hope they replicate this experience for other too. So far they seem far from it!

Re: ARPU stats for VAS in india

Thanks for commenting Rahul. My opinion is that when call rates go down, it reduces the ARPU for everyone, and with VAS, it adds up for "some". In india, still VAS propogation is limited to a few cities. Thus the net effect would result in equilibrium. Again, it is just an opinion. I have no facts to back up this.

Ha Ha! As far as Kindle goes, it is different positioning. Atleast they have cut the price by huge number. A kindle at $139 is what noone would mind :) BB will sell the torch for not less than $600 unlocked! let me know if you can get hold of it in the promised land.

1. Kaddy's few years earlier - 486 machine, 4-8MB ram, 16MB HDD = 40k
2. My first machine - pentium 3-600Mhz, 32MB ram, 10 GB HDD = 45k
3. Current laptop - core2duo, 4GB ram, 500GB HDD = 43k

Thus, no matter what machine you own, the price is constant (ignoring inflation ofcourse)

Re: Why you should use OpenGL and not DirectX - Wolfire Games Blog

Microsoft is in habit of destroying all good things. It's geeks vs suits. Only thing that i can infer from the microsoft pattern is that as long as suits are in charge, no matter how talented geeks are in the team, they end up building screwed up products. Suits do not understand internals, performance, but would advocate spreading lies (e.g) Dx10 isSIGNIFICANTLY better than DX9, when the image clearly looks like a photoshop effect. Becoming number 1 is one time kick, and maitaining that is a responsibility and maturity. No wonder IE and windows itself is getting a beating, XBOX is not different.
