    Droid versus Ios efficiency.

    And what part of this whole discussion proves it - that Android FS is user accessible? This statement does not make any sense!

    Gmat or gre ?

    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.

    Windows 8 OEM specs may block Linux booting

    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...

    at which univs should I apply?

    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.)...

    Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) vs HTC Desire

    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 :)

    The Galaxy S thread!

    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...

    Of course. If you can prove yourself nobody is stopping any company from giving you a job :)

    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.

    Feb 2011.... You can then apply for Spring 2012. You cannot apply for Fall 2011.

    When do you plan to apply? Also I have no clue about the pattern change etc. What does ETS say about this?

    Master's in the US : A Guide

    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...

    Which one to buy Desire/Droid x/Galaxy s ?

    Desire lacks WCMDA hardware and no active noise cancellation hardware but if I remember correctly desire has BT 2.1+EDR which N1 has 2.0+EDR.
