Most game development studios (including Valve) outsource most of the art related work. So they can definitely maintain their strength and build a product with scope similar to GTAV
Ditto, I've installed and uninstalled hike a lot of times because of this. Guess they care more about growth at the expense of retaining normal users. Most people use whatsapp for 'timepass' and whatsapp groups. And not real communication.
Loved the presentation, makes me realise how much more difficult it is to hire and foster innovative culture here in India where the office space is still marred by the age old 'BOSS Rules' culture.
Doesn't the ultra mode pretty much leave the phone unusable? Everything except Phone calls and SMS is off. Same can be achieved with any Android smartphone or switching off Mobile Data/WiFi/GPS/Bluetooh on the iPhone, I used to do this when hiking etc with my iPhone and it lasted me days as-well.
Although I do agree with a lot of things being said here, I am happy that the watch comes with a variety of options. A watch is something much more intimate and reflective of personal style. Phones usually get covered up, the watch wont be.
Ah yes my bad, I mislabeled the money lender people as zamindars. Thats just the old school name. I do agree with most of what you have to say, and guess its a good thing with all the bank accounts opening. It should somewhat curb the absolute chaos the rural India economy is in.
The thing you talk about are also knows as BC (or the link) and its quite common even in metros. There is also a variation of it run by jewellers (and gold traders) where one pays a fixed amount every month which is invested in gold.
If you don't mind me asking, which village? My roots are from a small town in UP which I have only visited once. But I am deeply intrigued by rural India and it always blows my mind when I realize most of the country's population is in rural India.
Err, thats a very old school thought. Its more that these people don't believe in banks or the banking system. In-fact most of rural India still has people taking loans from 'zamindars' who end up charging insane interest rates and forcefully taking away property/farms from the poor farmers.
