And why exactly would one of India's leading newspaper's online blog post this? And who exactly would have anything against a single HD outlet in Delhi?

An Open letter is still a letter. At least format it right, then sound whiny!

Congratulations! :D

The current review process offers nothing at all. Nothing.

If there had been a streamlined review process, and there should be, it'd need to be automated, running the program through a test to see if private APIs were being used or traces remained in the background, which is stuff Apple should really check about.

I can't believe that it's been a year and Apple still has the weird ass review process!

huh!? O_o

I will always look forward to the day when we do not need to pay for peace with bloodshed and violence.

Till such time though, I thank the brave few of the world, dedicated in ensuring peace for their countrymen. All of you, I salute.

I like their name, and the company of people involved. :)

You hosted a windows7 launch party!? O_o

Actually TechCrunch is very much a blog, and not a "mainstream" media company, because it's not on print or tv or something people traditionally call the "mainstream", a definition that's changing rapidly.

I don't think mainstream media is dying, it's just becoming more and more irrelevant.

You need to be prepared for tough questions.

There, the entire post in 1 line.

"What's all your furniture pointed at?"

I will never look at another papaya the same way again.

Have you tried buysellad.com?

If you're looking for subscription based billing software, look at chargify.com and spreedly.com

If it is a 404 page, do not assume that it's something the user has done intentionally. Links change, sites link wrongly. Link-shit happens.

If you really want your users to be helped by your site, even when they've ended up somewhere they probably shouldn't have gone, you need to have a basic 404 error page which gently describes that the page doesn't exist and contains a link back to the home. Not everyone using a website will see "404" and understand what it is, and without a link back to the main site, a user (potential customer) is lost.

busts out the par-tay hats and #include <beer.h> beer glasses!!

Happy Birthday!! :)

It's never the "story" that's important. It's the various voices, the acting, the spending some quality time before the day is over that's more important, which can't be replaced by an iPhone obviously.

Nice service for something like a 16th birthday gift though... "remember the times..." something like that.

If I display my email like the way this fellow detests, it obviously means I anticipate my readers to have enough reason to type an email address out!

maybe no one's stopped following you, you popular fellow, you!

why the hell would Bangalore come in here?

Yes. Not in the way they are right now, but yes, web based applications, running off remote servers, maybe interfacing with a desktop client or something similar to that is the future.

I'd insert a cyborg joke here, but it seems too cliched and insensitive when the invention looks this brilliant!

Well, it's Bill Gates' Microsoft money, so it's actually the good part... remember when MS used to be the good guys taking on the big guys?

Why does the news always only cover the "pledging" and not follow up with how/when and if at all that pledge and subsequent giving has helped the people they were supposed to help?

I myself am in India, and I've bought from them.

not Steam but what gog.com is doing is brilliant...

The internet has basically, and correct me please if I go overboard, become a massive cultural melting-pot. It's like a single country above all these borders in the real world, and that I think appeals to a lot of the people today.

I haven't actually been to technorati.com in ages! Maybe I'm just out of the blogging circle...

I do that all the time! Any site whose domain name I can't remember totally, or rather, any site I'm visiting by putting in the domain name, I use google.

That way, I get an extra layer of protection of scams and what-nots. Well worth the extra click or two.
