dukes_haven··on Netflix shares decline after reporting disappointing subscriber growth
Sure, but if you go to India right now I can assure you that you wouldn't be able to have a decent conversation with almost anyone not educated from a decent college, Im not sure what the degree of proficiency is from that figure you got over there but the extent of most peoples English would be pointing and using one or two relevant words, not making complete coherent sentences. Back to my original comment this is the reason why people in India dont subscribe to netflix, its a killer deal and less expensive than what they pay for cable (plus they can watch it on their laptop so - the cost of the TV too) but I guess they wouldn't be able to follow the storyline as clearly.

And about that not making sense, I meant that it would be cheaper than paying for cable TV

Netflix would be cheaper in India too but you have to take into account that not everyone can speak English there

Pakistan here, its for 1k pkr/month here, and there aren't really that much programs in Hindi or Urdu so only people who speak good English (and have 1k/month to spare) can buy it. And there aren't any repercussions for torrenting and the internet generally sucks so..
dukes_haven··on Google fined in India for search bias
That's basically like 2 cents for Google, I don't think that they are going to change biasing search results any time soon

Its a ruse, they just want you to look at random people's backside and think that it's a elbow. The modern day version of scanning your ass and printing it lol
