Talking about grassroots adoption of technology (and a more cutting edge open source one at that) what Kalyan saw is definitely not what you would normally expect.

While traveling from Mysore, Kalyan came across this bus sporting the famous firefox logo.

The picture on the rear of the bus changes depending on the angle of the photograph. It's very hard to keep perspective correct across multiple photos from many different angles when you're photoshopping with perspective, and the photographs of the rear of the bus show a different painting on each one. Unless someone repainted the back of the bus three different times in between the time the photographs were taken, this has been shopped. I'll admit whoever did it is pretty good, they got the color blending in very well, but there are always some mistakes it takes a keen eye to pick up.

On the other hand it can be the bus of a local company which chose to paint something like that, and may be somebody was insipired seeing the logo of Firefox.

That is just my opinion.....
