Tech Ka Masala. Episode 18: To hell with censorship

Hey People. Long time no see. You see, just after we got back in business with Tech Ka Masala, I was blighted by an interesting vein disease, and the podcast took a back seat again.

Actually, we restarted TKM 3 weeks ago. While good old Aditya has been going at it publishing episodes on the Indicast website, I’ve been sort of tardy with the cross posting to this blog. I couldn’t be sorrier.

Never fear, Episode 18 was released on Monday and you can listen to it right here:

Listen Online:

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Or subscribe using iTunes, Google, Odeo or RSS.

Also, if you are feeling generous, consider donating to Smiletrain. These guys are running a charity to help children with cleft lips (Smile Pinki, anyone?) get their faces fixed. Indicast is collecting donations in all denominations for the cause.

  • Why aren’t they revealing the NAME of the minister who tried to seek favors from HC judge? How much has the TOI been bribed? #
  • RT @gabfest: Overheard: “Its my business doing pleasure with you…” #
  • Gandhi didn’t do it for the Facebook fans. #
  • OpenDNS sucks. Using it auto-blocks anonymizers, P2P sites and suchlike. Bad. #
  • Watched Ep 114 of Naruto Shippuden. Sasuke killing Orochimaru. And making it look easy. It was awesomeness! #

  • The mere mention of BSP makes me want to puke. What were the people of UP high on, when they voted Mayawati to power? Enjoy the statues now. #
  • Fighting a valiant battle with an errant DNS server. No victory yet. #
  • DNS Battle has been won. Sometime absolutely stupid things like changing IP address work better than trying to act cool. #
  • The Pirate Bay is going legit? What the fuck is wrong with the world? #
  • Growl is is nice but they could do with a better icon. The current ‘unspecified animal claw’ icon is way too ugly. #
