There is no real freedom of press in India

An excellent article by Lakshmi Chaudhry on the state of Indian Journalism more specifically the digital age.

“There is no real freedom of press in India. There are only windows of opportunity. They open and then they close. You just have to make the most of it.”

Absolutely true, too much noise in the jungle.

You need to more aware of Google/Facebook than you think of

No this isn't Google or Facebook being evil or anything like that. This is about you "the user" being aware of whether the results thrown by the giants are truly helpful, truthful or not. This is actually the onus of each person while at the same time Google, Facebook in the era of fake news, needs to be smarter as "gaming-the-system" is dangerous but also the way Google/Facebook smarten up.

It is basically about good parenting of not only outside, but also inside of us, what we chose to absorb, disseminate. That's the main point, while still helping, making the other aware of their unawareness.

Good detailed articles written by Carole Cadwalladr. Thanks Carole for the awareness!

Booking.com - Breakfast VS Very Good Breakfast

The other day, for my travels, I was looking at booking a hotel in India on Booking.com. I was looking for an offer with breakfast option and this is what I got.

Apparently, there is a difference between Breakfast and Very Good Breakfast as per Booking.com's booking on this particular Hotel that made me Lol.

It makes you wonder though, what is the difference other than Rs.500 odd price. Do they serve more salt and pepper? More bread perhaps? In fancier cutlery? Express line to the hogging counter? Or maybe the waiter will listen to me shitty jokes and not spit in the food this time. I wonder.

My Nexus 5 is NUTS, it charges up like Crazy!

So my 2.5-year nexus cable finally died with its charger failing about a year back. I've replaced both with a One Plus One 2A charger and a brand new 2.4A Tukzer cable. And oh man, can it charge SUPER DUPER fast. It can go from 5% battery to FULL 100% charge in less than 45 mins. Least expected it!

Google, if the Nexus 5 could do this, then WHAT the HELL are you doing by adding a 1A charger and cable with it for? Jeez, don't be so cheap about your premium phone, man!

Charging rapidly! You can say again that Nexus 5.

As you can see, I've fallen in love with my Nexus 5 once again. MUAH!

That's one crazy Nexus user

The Curious Case of The Fappy Keyboard

Lols. Lads, who wants to use this Fappilcious keyboard? We all know where we watch our favourite...ahem...lad mag videos. Perhaps this keyboard is a perfect fit for the deed. Perhaps white colour would've been a perfect fit.

And the best part is, even the seller's store is called "The Fappy Store" XD It can't get better than this.

In the honour of tech reviewing. Let's do a quick review shall we:-
Pros:-
- The name, incredibly suggestive
- Wireless portability
- Enables one to quickly put it away or cover the essentials if discovered

Cons:-
- Black colour
- Stains easily
- No cleaning liquids nor cloth included

How tax system works in terms of beer spend

Here's a fun and great read from an article in Telegraph>

--Describes UK tax in terms of beer spend. ---

Goes like this: 10 men go out for a beer once a month.

The bill comes to £100.
They decide to split the bill in a similar way to tax bill.
First four men (poorest) pay 0
Fifth pays £1
Sixth pays £3
Seventh pays £7
Eight pays £12
Ninth pays £18
Tenth (richest) pays £59
The men are happy.
The pub owner decides to drop the price, their bill now comes to £80.
What do they do to split the £20 fairly?

The publican suggests:
First four men (poorest) pay 0
Fifth goes from £1 to 0
Sixth goes from £3 to £2
Seventh goes from £7 to £5
Eight goes from £12 to £9
Ninth goes from £18 to 14
Tenth (richest) goes from £59 to £49

But the men aren’t happy….
The sixth man points out that he only saved £1 out of the £20 but the tenth man got £10.
The seventh man agrees, asking why he only got £2 when tenth man got £10.
The first four men were also indignant saying “we didn’t get anything at all….The new system exploits the poor!”
So the nine men surrounded the tenth man and beat him up.

The next month the tenth man doesn’t show.
When it comes to paying the bill they found they didn’t have enough money between them to even pay for half the bill.

And that, the article concludes, is how our tax system works. The few who pay the highest taxes do tend to benefit from tax reliefs and reductions. Attack them for being rich and the risk is they may take their wealth elsewhere.

For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.
