"Clicking on Unsubscribe link and getting a You have been unsubscribed successfully page also does not mean anything when it comes to Indian e-commerce companies. I had to fight on twitter with fashionandyou to get myself unsubscribed. Samsung India keeps sending emails after clicking atleast 20 times on Unsubscribe link . Reporting as spam helps but not that much. I find this a problem mainly with Indian e-commerce companies. I will keep getting promotional emails from companies of which I have never heard leave alone registered on their site. Good job Nikhil" - Sidharth Dassani

"You saidin podcast that Chrome is just a cost centre with no revenue . I think it saves them money that they have to pay out . They have agreement with Firefox under which they renewed for upwards of $1 Billion with a bowser that has lower market share . So in effect they are saving a boatload of money by having a browser for which they do not have to pay referral fees to anyone ." - Sidharth Dassani

"My experience with this is that Airtel is the biggest culprit. I was charged 150 for downloading wallpapers on a dumb phone without internet connection . Many of my friends have been subscribed to services without having done anything on their part . And with Airtel I am sure that they charged me for the downloads at 1AM in the night when I was in my cousins marriage . The phone did not have internet and so I checked to see if I had made some call by mistake or send a sms . But that was not the case . 150 down the drain without doing anything . Since then I have been charged a couple of times but thanks to Twitter have been able to get the charges reversed for me and also my friends" - Sidharth Dassani

"The difference between 4" and 4.8" is not 17% but much more . For example a 7" tablet is almost 50% the size of a 10" tablet in terms of area ." - Sidharth Dassani

"1 billion searches a month . Ya great . After hearing this I analyzed my searches on Facebook and every single one was for a name of a friend already in my friend list . Facebook as a search engine ? Thanks but no thanks . Never know when Facebook will start posting my searches in my friends news feed . And there is no option to use FB anonymously . I can use google without them knowing who I am . Impossible to do with FB." - Sidharth Dassani

"Horace Dediu another important point is that Apple has just recently started launching products in India on time. iPad 2 , iPhone 4S and new iPad were the first iPhone or iPad to be launched within 2 months of US launch. All other phones or iPads were launched almost a year after their US launch . This meant that people who really wanted these products already had them from abroad and they would not get the traction in local market . Indian customer will spend a lot of money on the latest and greatest but will certainly not spend huge money on a year old product . Apple is not as successful in India as they should be because they want to do business their way. They tied with couple of operators but operators dont drive purchases in India like in US or to some extent Europe . It is a 97% prepaid market where the customer is spending more on the handset cost than on operator bill. ARPU is lower than $5 per month and over 2 years people spend much less for phone bill than they spend for..." - Sidharth Dassani

"Horace, you are wrong about FDI not being allowed in retail in India. 100% FDI in retail is allowed in India for "Single Brand" stores . Apple can start its wholly owned retail stores in India if it wants since they will be selling only their own products. 100% FDI is not allowed in multi brand retail i.e. Walmart will not be allowed to set up a 100% owned retail store. They can however set up a 100% owned wholesale business . Secondly iPhone is pricing itself out of the market . Unlocked iPhone 4S retails for around $850 . When a customer sees Galaxy S3 at around $650 he will not think twice about which phone to buy. Infact the iPhone 4 is priced around $625 levels. Its also difficult to get iPhone in mobile retail shops. They are generally available only with Authorised Resellers / 2 telecom operators or a couple of large national retailers . Apple recently started selling the unlocked 4S for $499 in US . If they can reduce their prices for the next iPhone in India to around $650 in..." - Sidharth Dassani

"Just because you have served the team for long it does not mean that you have the right to play with the future of the team . Poor Rahane or Pujara will be in ODI team if Sachin does not want to play and the day he decides he wants to play Rahane / Pujara will be dropped irrespective of the performance . He should play all matches or retire completely ." - Sidharth Dassani
