India's 3G spectrum auctions have moved beyond (already wild) expectations.When such things happen, I start to wonder about the economics of the situation. India's public is very fiscally-tight and the entire telecom market in India is cut-throat.When 3G licenses touch regions of USD 3.3 billion (Approx Rs 150, 000, 000, 000 - 150 billion / 15,000 crores) for a single PAN India license, I begin

This is about a new bill to be introduced into the Indian parliament. ==Begin quote: The bill was made public today, it lets U.S. corporations go scot free in case of an accident at an Indian nuclear reactor. They would get away with paying a small amount, while Indian taxpayers bear the bulk of the cost. The bill is a clear case of socialize the risk, privatize the profit.The bill may be tabled

Get started by downloading all the desktop ISO images using Bittorrent.I prefer to use the Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal), and all below commands are to be entered in the Terminal. Since this is a slightly advanced topic, I assume that anyone trying this is familiar with the Terminal, paths, autocompletion, apt-get, etc.Create a directory to hold your AIO (All-in-one) DVD structure,

I've been trying to make an Ubuntu All In One (AIO) live DVD for quite a while now. You can follow my progress (or lack thereof) on this thread at ubuntuforums.org.Despite various attempts, about 15 physical "coaster" DVDs, I have not managed to succeed; until I read this post about (not-very-aptly-named) Grub4DOS.This gave me the clue that I needed to create the UbuntuAIO Live DVD of my

I'm travelling to Japan the coming week, for about 7 days.This is only my second trip in about 10 years.Surprisingly, I cannot seem to remember anything about my first trip. (Except the station names Ueno and Akhiabara).This time, I've resolved to lay out my trip in detail.It may be helpful for other travelers, especially vegetarians ('cause another thing I remember from my last trip is that it

Well that's it. My PalmOne Treo 650 is finally and irreparably ruined.Last week, one evening the touchscreen suddenly died. Attempting to self repair it (as I've done once earlier) caused the keyboard's upper and lower rows to die. I then decided to ignore the touchscreen until I got a replacement, and attempted to fix the keyboard problem. This led the display to die totally. Got the display

Recently, I've been reading a lot about Air India / Indian Airlines and their troubles.Given their current situation, I do not believe that the Indian Government should grant them any bailout as they've requested.Planning to cancel confirmed orders for new planes is also going to cause a huge hit to their collective pocketbook.Instead, they should negotiate an "offset" of the manufacturing of the
