Yen is the equivalent of cents, not dollars, thats why the confusion, yen doesnt have a concept of 100 cents=1 xxx. In Rupees case it is an equivalent of dollars, 100 paisas = 1 Ru…

Is there an equivalent of this? http://web.mit.edu/ir/pop/awards/nobel.html Closest would be University of Madras not IIT. Its just a numbers game, the universities are not even sm…

>So this seems like a great strategy to improve market discovery for Amazon. I am guessing if walmart does something similar, it is not brilliant, but in fact evil. I don't underst…

I agree with you. IITians are not good at fundamental science for which nobel is awarded, otherwise they would have gotten it by now.

Sure they do, that is why there is not a single nobel prize won by an IITian when ten Indians have a nobel prize.

Did it take into account lawyer fees paid for sponsoring that visa?

Not saying it should produce nobel laureates. All this talk about as if IIT is the only place in India, when the real work and research is done by graduates of other universities. …

Yet 10 Non-IITians from India seem to have received a nobel prize.

Didn't know your iphone gps was accurate at millimeter level just like the $500 trimble GPS which is used for precision.

So does that mean for example starbucks will buy iphones and ipads and pay monthly fee for data plans and use iphone as their cash register?

I am aware of how electronic badges work and that should keep things in check. Worst case they could ask for their id. My point is the electronic system does keep things in order, …

Why do you need security guards to enforce when your badge is electronic(RFID). You swipe your badge everywhere you enter(including cafes inside buildings for which you swipe your …

If its not a class system, whats the need for color coding badges? Don't you think an electronic badge will prevent and authorize access no matter what color it is.

You would think an electronic badge would still prevent access no matter the color. But then it would be too difficult to feel special or discriminate.

Thankfully the fortune 500 company that I work for in Bay Area doesn't have color coded employees. I heard Yahoo does the color coded employees and actively discriminate as well.

It doesnt matter. I want more things to carry in pocket to feel cool and call it disruptive.

Agreed, in the same spirit, quality students do not need to graduate from IIT.

Please stop this IIT is so awesome talk, its great but not that great either. Do an analysis of the schools IIT professors graduated from. You will be surprised. I actually did thi…
