In the GeekUp, Carl will argue about his idea of a Gandhian internet - and what it means to have open access to knowledge in the age of corporate dominated internet.

*This is a free event.*

*Gautam John, CEO of Nilekani Philanthropies, will moderate the discussion.*

As you enter the court you see a large picture of Gandhi with the iconic quote. I couldn’t help myself … turned to the court official, a Deputy Registrar, and said “you know, Gandhi never said that?” This is true … he didn’t. It was in a biography about him, he never said it.

Photo of Gandhi and “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi.

Had a spectacular visit to the Supreme Court last week. Got VIP treatment through security, spent two hours with the Chief Librarian and a Deputy Registrar.

Tue entrance to the supreme court lined with lawyers in black robes, an immaculate lawn, and the dome leading one in Tue background.

Me standing in the four story atrium, behind me is a huge page of the preamble to the constitution, lady justice, and the Indian national symbol (the four headed lions).

The four floors of books open up onto the massive atrium and the sun streams in from above.

Hey @Apple @AppleSupport, it’s frustrating to be asked to visit my carrier just to transfer SIMs for a trade-in, and even more so to not have a basic data transfer option during home delivery. Simplifying this would make a huge difference for your customers! #AppleSupport…
