3 edits | Yeah but the guy in Bangalore is reading Better Huts and Gardens on his PDA while out gathering dirt for his family to eat, while the poor slob in Silicon Valley is stuck behind a desk in his Den day tradeing over a cable modem connection.   |

Speaking from multiple trips to Bangalore, the posting above is very pejorative. Just as many cities have slums and multi-million dollar homes, Bangalore is no different. The phrase "ugly American" comes to mind. |

| Who are you calling ugly, ugly?  We have some nice huts here in America's slowly dieing Silicon Valley and that's because it's so damn expensive to live here so all of us can't live like say Jabba the Hut here!

Most people are not aware of the banana republic class connectivity in santa clara valley. Many neighborhoods have only dialup, large parts have sporadic 384k dsl. |

Reminds me of NYC.
Granted some parts of India look like the shack you posted, but Bangalore isn't one of them. And as long as we're here, I saw similar shacks inhabited in the 5 years I spent in GA.
