It was a week back that Shankar tagged me on the MyDesktop meme that has been going around. I promised to take part, so this is the post for it. Shankar’s desktop was rather un-inspiring, but atleast not the now omni-present Vista Emulation pack(which I am sick of). However, most people do not take the […]

WordPress was released on September 24th(maybe different in different countries), but I hung on to WordPress 2.2 for a couple of weeks. The reason was simple – WordPress is known for bugs and woes in the first release of a new branch. However, I read some frightening posts about vulnerabilities being exposed in previous versions. […]

The Top Commentator’s list is commonplace now. Most blogs get extra comments. However, of late, Top Commentators list is abused. The blogger is forced to deal with hundreds of near-spam comments. Many blogs have taken out the Top Commentator’s widget owing to this. While this blog is new, with fewer comments, I still feel that […]

Last weekend, I had bought a new hosting account, and moved away from my old free account, to it. Due to some nameserver glitches, it took 28+ hours, and I was not at home then. So, the posts were not uploaded, and the site remained blank, and the condition of RSS feeds was no different. […]

Firefox is the world’s best browser, and Greasemonkey is one of the best extensions for it. What good is an add-on without any addition of fun? And of course, the big G, Google is the search engine we love ( though it maybe becoming the next Technorati). I personally like the Google logo, and if […]

Bins for disposing iPods have been placed at Microsoft’s Zune production campus. And there are actually a few disposed iPods in that bin! This has to be a joke. Or else, it is a twisted and sick Microsoft that we are seeing(as if they were not, already). Really. However, ‘t was but with a twist […]

In my previous post, I had written about the thinnest display available, by Sony. I jotted down some ideas of using the display creatively. When I finished, I could not help smiling at it  The possibilities The possibilities are quite amazing : Every gadget and gizmo which sports a colour screen could become thinner and […]

Its a race for thinner displays which yield beatiful pictures and videos with millions of colours. Now, Sony, one of the pioneers of flat-panel technolgy, has unveiled a new type of display which is as thin as paper, and displays full colour videos. A spokesman for Sony said it has yet to decide on commercial […]

We’ve seen everything(camera, audio player etc.) and a kitchen sink thrown into a cellphone. Just when everything is cooling down, those blokes at Nokia’s labs have come up with a complex system to detect lightning. One of the pioneers in the field, the Finnish giant has filed applications for a patent for the technology. On […]

It is an irony that the light bulb, long-time symbol of great ideas, will not be such a great idea anymore, as lawmakers in different countries are planning to ban the century old creation of Thomas Edison, because of its contribution to global warming. The successor? It is a big question, but at least for […]
