They cannot afford clinical trials in developed countries, so they turn to poorer countries.

India is one of the biggest hub for most of the pharma's clinical trials due to huge poor population. The rules are lax and they take advantage of it. Lot of people die and many turn paralyzed or disabled permanently due to drug's unknown side-effect.

These corrupt pharma companies want to use India as it's test-bed but want to sell the drugs tested here at an abysmal high price such that it is even out of my reach (even though I am well off).

They pay fines for their corrupt behavior. You understood it wrong

also don't forget that for these companies the poor people in India are the subjects of clinial trials.

The mindset of these companies of treating the poor people as Guinea pigs is also disgusting

671 reported deaths http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/human-rights-pan...

There is no count of no of people who get disabilities but don't die due to trials failing. Who will pay for these? These pharma companies are steered by greed

I stopped reading it two years back, but still get linked to that website. Whenever I land over there, the post contains some or other of BS.

It's no co-incidence. Techcrunch is the same as it was 2 years back, probably venom from Siegler has increased

Pentagon declared Wikileaks as a threat to national security.

I we look at The Apache helicopter and Australian internet plans leaks, the government was trying to do something wrong, which Wikileaks exposed. Now they have been declared threat to national security. Great progress in hypocrisy.

$150 is just too much for being sustainable. Let's see where it finally settles.

Thanks for the information.

BTW I have always hand tweaked the font, DPI, and all appearance based settings on a fresh install of any GNOME based distro. I am not enraged on the padding issue, but it would be still nice to see optimal configuration out of box.

No, seriously. The padding is just too much, to the level that it wastes space.I know too much clutter is bad, but that doesn't mean GNOME people have to increase the padding to this extent.

Can we have a middle ground for padding? Nor too less, nor too much.

I think this is pretty old and has been discussed everywhere many times. Check the date of the question/answer too.

Just because iPhone doesn't have a physical keyboard - doesn't make physical keyboards evil. Similar logic for trackball.

I have tried using physical keyboard on Blackberry and I felt pretty comfortable. I bet other manufacturers would come out with better physical keyboards. My flatmate has a Thinkpad with a trackball. Initially it was pretty tough to control it. Trackball and physical keyboard isn't bad just because I think it's bad.

So much from a Tumblr lead dev! I expected better.

This is pretty sensible. If India passed any draconion law, then it would be a trouble for the citizens who are already pissed off by high-prices of content that is pirated.

e.g. The price of buying a track is pretty high. $0.90 for a track in US is acceptable, but not in India where standard of living is not like other countries.

The chief reason piracy is a hit in India is due to stupid pricing. If a book costs $10, then it will surely be pirated by a lot number of people. Classical example was "Harry Potter" books. It was priced at 700INR IIRC. Not everyone can buy it. Pirated books were available at 150-200INR and sold like hot cakes.

Moral of the story: Fix your damn price and see the sales shoot up.
