nigelbabu In case you missed our #jsfoo chat with @paul_irish, here’s a quick summary of it! storify.com/nigelbabu/jsfo…
paul_irish @BangaloreJS Looking forward to chatting with everyone tomorrow! #jsfoo
@pranesh_prakash A ques for my knowledge — if I invent something and patent it, can anyone else reproduce it citing a different application?
@bhavyakhanna LOL! I say you try and think of a new interaction so that you can patent it. Let @pranesh_prakash and I take a rest.
@pranesh_prakash Do I make any sense or do you absolutely not agree with me? :)
@pranesh_prakash Also, 20 years for a patent in technology IMHO is too long. It should just give an advantage to the inventor.
@pranesh_prakash Again I am not an expert, but I say the actions should be patented not the effect. Patent “pinch” not “pinch to zoom”.
@pranesh_prakash If non-obviousness while interacting with a system is a legal requirement then a reform in the laws is must. @bhavyakhanna
@pranesh_prakash There’s a difference between non-obviousness while inventing and non-obviousness while using a system. @bhavyakhanna
@pranesh_prakash Just like I think an on-screen keyboard should not be patented, but if someone can draw a flower to write it, it should be.
@pranesh_prakash Suggested up and down button and not a scroll bar. I think capturing a “touch” is more elementary than capturing a “swipe”.
@pranesh_prakash A quality of a good design is that the final product looks obvious & feels undesigned. “Page up” I’d say no. @bhavyakhanna
@pranesh_prakash I guess a jaw-dropping obvious way to scroll would be to tap on an “up arrow”. Not obvious unless you see it work.
@pranesh_prakash But that comes from someone who has limited IPR knowledge. Also, I hope for some reforms in this field. @bhavyakhanna
@pranesh_prakash I’ll be inclined towards “Yes” cause it is a (relatively) new interaction design. Something jaw-dropping. @bhavyakhanna
@bhavyakhanna Thirdly, I am not sure if a Notification Center is worthy of being awarded a patent. @pranesh_prakash
@bhavyakhanna Firstly, I am not awed by their Notification Center. Secondly, have never used an Android. @pranesh_prakash
@zainabbawa Yes please! :)
@zainabbawa Something north of the Tropic of Cancer, please.
@bhavyakhanna Good artists copy. Great artists steal.
Lance Armstrong! :o #wtf
lokallobaat Anyone know of an NGO in Delhi that might be looking for used/second-hand cameras (film & digital) ? RT, please?
What’s with Leh and this season? Too many people on my “social network” making a trip or just got back from one.
@geohacker Perhaps you need to make just one call. My exp. says that brokers operating in the same area offer the same places. @gonsalves_r
@MaAlterEgo A trait unique to male engineers in India. And since most #MBA launde are engineers, you most certainly have partners-in-crime.
geohacker Have to really really find a place to move in the next couple of days. All you Bangalore folks, help me out. 1/2 BHK Indiranagar/Frazer Town
@GnrlMxms bpbweekend.com/delhi-feel-goo… moonlighting.in/Delhi Also one in Kalkaji (run by a school senior of mine) + more you hunt more you’ll find.
@MaAlterEgo I know, but door se dekho to waisa hi lagta hai. :)
@GnrlMxms Sure! Also, as a startup, you could also consider co-working/shared office spaces.
@MaAlterEgo Super choice macha! A bra with a hole!
@DilliBelle Sort of getting a hang of it. Aside, are you an accountant?
@DilliBelle Never!
And this ‘in a way’ is odd as any amount credited to my bank is now ‘technically’ a debit. #FML again!
TIL — In accounting, increase in asset/decrease in liability is ‘Debit’ and the other way round is ‘Credit’.
दुबारा मत पूछना!#FMLL
@lokallobaat Y U NO STOP STALKING FILM-MAKERS!!!
@GnrlMxms At least someone realises why I work out of an office.
P.S.— If you are terribly pissed feel free to head over to our place. :)
@lokallobaat Kya Issmael mia, Eid ke din to mazaak na karo.
@lokallobaat Eid Mubarak Issmael Bhai! Please send me some Biryani.
@mightyboosher A gentleman’s way of saying “You’ve not yet done what you aught to do. It has been too long and now you are pissing me off”.
Eid Mubarak folks! @AbdulWK @geohacker @imdshadab @zainabbawa @shamail
@_karan I guess they picked it from Google Translation. Even they suggest ‘घटना’
@AroraDush Promise to never spell ईद as ‘ID’ (in all-caps). It simply doesn’t work. ‘Eid’ is perhaps a better alternative.
@_karan LOL! I guess घटना is better translated as ‘incident’. However, can’t think of a better alternative for event.
@MaAlterEgo chalo bhoole to nahi. I thought that is also something you hated.
@MaAlterEgo TER?
@gonsalves_r Lemme get this right—You got a pack of Kenyan Coffee which u run through South Indian filter & add Irish whiskey?@s_shashank_ss
@s_shashank_s Where?
At a party today:
“Oh you have an iPhone? Show… Which model?”
“4”
“Which one, 16… 32?”
“This one I think is… 35-#humordiaryrdiary

@lokallobaat I kid you not. The groom of this newly married couple (the host of the party I am in) is your look-alike.

@geohacker Today? I thought it is on Monday. Happy Eid!
lokallobaat It’s Pateti today. Anyone know of a place where one can try good Parsi food in Delhi today? (Parsi Anjuman only for members today)
vikramadhiman Ok. My phone is lost. Sony Ericsson. Is there anything I can do to get it back? The phone is switched off. India number. In NY.
@rasagy The Govt, to prevent spreading provocative messages for the next 15 days.
@gonsalves_r Happy Birthday!
Auto drivers tried their usual best to convince that it’s too late to get any #dtc or metro. Held my nerve and got the last bus #LikeABoss.
@MaAlterEgo I suggest contacting @MyAkosha before giving up. You may have overlooked a slim way out.
AbdulWK On twitter, universal solution for all problems is to unfollow.
@MaAlterEgo Makes sense. Also, did you notice that if you’d have dropped the 1st word from that statement it’d still make sense. #MBA #Yuss
sajid_v You say: “Login to Facebook to continue”
I say: “bye-bye”
@erm_wat It is, no need to ask @rungta.

@lokallobaat You got a holiday on your budday, what else you want?
For anything more you need to break the dahi matka.

jackerhack Some company called NetMojo just called me a psycopath for not being on Facebook. Guess who we are definitely not doing business with?

@aakash_kumar Thanks! :)
@singlaank Yes. Specially if the URL is preceded by ‘tel:’, like in this case. :)
@lokallobaat Also found out that there are only 2 Wimpy outlets left in the city.
@lokallobaat In fact I spotted it while paying a visit to Wimpy (out of sheer nostalgia). Lamb burger wasn’t bad, veg had too much sauce.
@tiffinboxers Thanks!

atti_cus Out of everyone expressing frustration at India’s dismal medal tally, how many encourage their kids to take up sports full time?
