Projects... real world projects. You are made to work on real world projects ( and yes, that can be killing sometimes!). You get more hands-on experience and the syllabus is not decided by some university head but the Professor who is more up-to-date on Industry trends.
I don't see why this could be a big issue. Most Linux users build their own systems, which means all they will lack is a Windows 8 sticker and will not be mandated to have the secure boot enabled.
Also, most of the enterprise machines have 1 OS per system. I'm yet to see a dual-boot machine...
That's a pretty good score! How about AWA? What is your score?
You should definitely apply to UCB, GaTech, UIUC, UW Madison, Stanford, UMich, Princeton. Make sure you get some good recommendation letters from your Professors and some people from the industry (like for e.g. LFY Editor etc.)...
On the other hand, I love Swype :) I can't type on a normal keyboard now!
That is not true. First hand usage suggests otherwise. TouchWiz is a piece of crap. Sense is actually pretty well crafted and is less of a memory hog for me.
No second thoughts! The display is gorgeous :)
I would rate...
I probably need to re-word that sentence. What I meant what was, you need to be clear on which Universities you intend to send the scores to; so that you can take advantage of the free score reporting :)
There is definitely a lot of difference. The Desire has the previous gen. GPU Z430 (or Adreno 200), which is 1+ year old, while the Hummingbird has SGX540, which is the newest GPU from ImagTech. Even the iPhone4 has SGX535 GPU. There should be no comparison between the two.
The correct...
1) The only area where you have jobs now is software. There are absolutely no jobs in the hardware unless of course you have exhibited exceptional projects and experience or have a couple of patents to your name! Even with all that, the job prospects are in this order:
Physical Design (almost...
The rule of thumb is that you should give GRE at least about 10 months prior to the semester you intend to apply for.
For e.g. if you want to apply for Fall (which begins in August), it's a good idea to give GRE by October, the previous year.
I just googled for GRE materials online and prepared. Also if you can get Kaplan and Princeton Review materials from somebody (acquaintance/friend) then that should help.
Also, as I've explained before if you want to get into Fall 2011 batch, September/October 2010 would be a good time to...
Oh... please feel free to ask questions. I would be glad to answer. When I came here I didn't know anybody whom I could ask questions. I had to find my own answers. I know how difficult and frustrating it can be. So when you have somebody to ask questions to don't give up that opportunity and...
Search on the net if that university has come out with something for the masses. Most Tier-2 universities do a lot of work which is published, useful to the general public or contributes to NSA, NASA, DARPA etc. Any "shady" university will not have this.
In addition to that, most Tier-2...
Please do not use Turbo C or C++. It is deprecated, old, and is not a standard compiler. Use something better like Eclipse + GCC or Visual C++ Express.
1) There are no hard and fast rules. It's upto you.
2) 3 months should be more than enough. You don't learn anything "new". But all that you do is learn how do to things that you already know in the fastest way. If you are exceptional in English then Maths then you don't need any prep at all...
