Only thing great about the current Indian government is their PR. BharatNet was launched on 25 October 2011 (previous government), to connect all the villages in India through Optical Fibre network. The deadline for the completion has extended several times and the last deadline was March 2020. By today's announcement, the deadline is extended by 3 more years!

The verification email too is a phishing attempt, as it gets delivered to wrong person. All it takes is just a click.

The verification e-mail is going to say something like "Please verify this e-mail address for your new Netflix account", which is going to look very suspicious to anyone who didn't just sign up for an account. As phishing attempts go, this is not likely to be very effective. It's not nearly as bad as skipping right to the part where they ask for updated payment information (with a pre-authenticated link!)—someone who has a Netflix account, and perhaps a credit card which recently expired, has no reason to suspect such a request, and most likely would not notice that the e-mail address the notice was sent to does not match the one they used when setting up their own account.

Thrilled to know, this world has 150K hackers

I'd rather say it's far less than that. Remember that single reader can access hn via multiple devices and access points, so unique IP count doesn't really feel representative.

Yes, good point - I'm guessing many people would access HN from both home and work, to name just one scenario.

You do realise it's 1.5 million on the Y axis!?

That's page views, not users. ;-)

Will be a good tool for design reviews. Just one feedback: Can the popup be aligned to bottom?

Let me know how you liked it! I'm also just working on settings for registered users, and that may be one of them.

Now you can also toggle the popup by pressing `, btw.

I think, its because most people In India use Cyber Cafes, where you get only outdated PC's running XP (sometimes Windows 98) & IE 6.

Some workers in Cyber Cafes don't really know of FF or Chrome. They just think IE is the only way to surf internet.

You are kidding me right? Most of the Cyber Cafes use very powerful machine to support games like Crysis. That's why Cyber Cafes exists and popular.

But there are also cheap Cyber Cafes, which their system really sucks. People can not afford a computer go there, and they don't really care what a browser is.

I'm almost surprised they don't run old computers as thin clients/remote x terminals connected to charitable server farms running in The West.

Just wondering, if the graph would look like http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2011/02/26/Mobile-Mon...

actually, for me the revenue is steadily growing. That's the advantage of ad-based revenue

Tim Bray's graph isn't of revenue against time, it's of revenue against rank (i.e., whether the app is the best, second-best, third-best, in terms of revenue).

This is really cool. I may start with this and then move to OpenCV. The thing about this is that I want to be able to rate how the algorithm did so I can constantly improve the algorithm. Here the algorithm seems to be abstracted.
