"Overall, I like the Xbox One's interface. It's certainly a little more busy than the PS4, but I prefer the Metro-style grid, rather than scrolling forever through dozens of tiles. For the most part, the tiled interface dovetails with the Xbox One's larger feature set -- but sometimes there's a little too much depth and complexity, leaving you hunting around for the right menu to perform a certain action. It will be harder to learn the Xbox One's interface for the first time, that's for sure."
"We've been hearing about the power of the "Cell Broadband Engine" for what seems like forever, and there's no denying that it has some horsepower. It's an absolute monster for processing data with approximately 40 times the juice of a PS2 CPU and a multi-core blueprint that allows for true parallel processing (with up to nine independent threads per Cell). NVIDIA's built-in G70-based RSX "Reality Synthesizer" has received nearly as much press -- boasting the ability to handle almost 75 billion shader operations per second with a clock speed of 550MHz. Add 256MB of XDR RAM and another 256MB of GDDR3 VRAM and you have quite the collective muscle."
"Do you want the honest truth? This machine [the PlayStation 4] is not so strong as you think. This is like a five-year-old PC. If consoles were as powerful as PCs are today, you would see all different games. Most of the work developers put out there is to make them work on consoles."
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
