Infiltration! Well, someone has to create demand for all the call centres....right? ;)

It's a conspiracy, I tell you! It's all part of the Elite's One World Government plan! Be afraid! :D

It's really not a bad question, at least the OP was correct that it is an Indian name. Forgive him ATOT, for he knows not what he did.

Why did you specify it as "Asia Indian?"

I mean besides the fact that based on this thread and your posts you're a moron.

I still remember the feature interviewing him (60 minutes?) about him starting this site, while still in High School. They kept asking if he was making money on it and he kept saying "some" but not saying how much. (wise move) At the end they show him getting into a new BMW(?) and driving off for school. (I had already been to the site before the story, which made it even more interesting.)

It was all in America, but if I remember his wedding photos they looked pretty traditional in an Indian sense.

Overall, we have a mixed bag here, like you would find on any large online forum.
I hear he's a Porsche man now.;)

Our neffing brings him ad dollars. And they slap our wrists for it like it were a bad thing...tsk tsk.

There are no ads on Anandtech ;)

Yes he's 1/2 Indian as you mentioned yourself and as you can see here:

(Nice pic there with the cowgirl booth-babe Anand!)

There is no reason why the demographic of these forums would be any more Indian than any other tech forum though. Anand seems as American as any other English tech writer I've read, perhaps with better grammar than average though ;)

That's not Anand with the cowgirl. Besides that not even being his face, Anand 1) Wears glasses and 2) Is always in a suit or equivalent when he's doing business.
