The BB Guest Question Marathon 2010

—srikanth @ 23:59

Of late we’ve had a huge number of questions pouring in from all corners. It’s really great to see this kind of interest in tech quizzing in general and Boiledbeans especially! To keep the momentum up, we’ve decided to host a guest question marathon. For the next few days (till we run out of questions in the queue) we are going to post only questions that you’ve asked.

So, here’s the first of the marathon, from shenoyvarun86 - GQHero!.

What’s this all about?

Would you like to keep the marathon going for longer? Send in your questions to boiledbeans@gmail.com! There’s a trophy to be had for each guest question you send us! Also, if you’d like us to link to your blog or some site, indicate that along with your question and we’ll definitely add a link (Spreading the love on V-day? Har!)
