It's very tempting to get an SSD larger than the existing 250GB each time I run out of disk space — thanks, gradle. For about the same price, I buy a 2TB spinning external disk, create a disk image of my entire 250GB disk and

Discriminating people at work based on their age by say, allocating certain work to only people of certain age groups, unfairly presuming capabilities of people based on their age...is ageism. How then is it legal for people to suggest you must want to

I sound like a wrinkled old alarmist for raising concern over the casual use of EMI by my friends. Banks are increasingly handing out EMI offers on credit and debit cards to people who can easily afford to buy stuff upfront. Instead, people are

Life is by far the best horror movie so far. Life...the 2017 sci-fi horror movie. The design of the creature is almost perfect. As a kid, I found the parasitic ice-worm in The X-Files the most terrifying of all. In the horror genre,

Always use "Hello Uncle/Aunty" when passing by a familiar elder and speed off in your direction of motion. Inquiring their wellbeing with a "How are you?" only adds to your misery.

Wait... what's wrong with the ban on Karan Johar's next movie? And it could extend to SRK's next? I haven't seen progressive steps like these in years!

I have a crap ton of unused memory cards and under-utilized hd-disks. It would be nice to have a Storage Hub on the network to which you could attach a bunch of storage media (USB drives, SD cards, HD-disks). Just a single view of

You spend your whole Windows life complaining about deeply flawed time estimates (for file copy, etc.) to arrive on Linux or OSX, which impresses you...at first. Eventually you find out one of two harsh truths — Time estimation is a really hard problem Hardware

You could be a brilliant computer scientist - one that works on computer security and cryptography. Someone who understands PGP, scrypt, how SSL works. Someone who keeps his startup disk encrypted, uses two-factor authentication and machine-generated passwords for logins. Your Mom is still concerned
