Re:Are Price Comparison sites biased? on Tuesday June 16, 2015 @06:27AM (#9724856)
ALl these price comparison sites work on commission model. They get paid when you reach the site from their link. I also think you need to obtain permission to list any ecommerce site. Maybe flipkart and snapdeal didnt allow Junglee to put their info.

Similar thing happened to mysmartprice as well, when they werewnt showing flipkart.

Re:Gmail lab feature 'Mouse Gestures' no more? on Wednesday May 02, 2012 @08:19AM (#3918664)
just found out that gmail has retired the lab feature, along with many others. That's really sad. http://gmailblog.blogspot.in/2012/05/say-hello-or-ola-or-hal...

Gmail lab feature 'Mouse Gestures' no more?

I am not able to use the mouse gestures lab feature in gmail. When I looked into Settings -> Labs, It wasnt even there! Did Google just kill it? I have been using it for years now and cant imagine why they'd do so! Anyone else also facing this issue?
