The only thing that’s exciting about 3.5 update is the support for Ogg.

It drizzled for 15 minutes, poured for 5 then drizzled for 10 more, then stopped. :(

First the App Store was flooded with Twitter clients. Now it’s flooded with full-screen web browsers.

I had no idea that will was wol earlier http://bit.ly/ISlfq

@ap00rv Why do you think Y! users had a problem with Microsoft buying Yahoo?

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ap00rv

I.D.I.O.T.S. - people who use IE8 after seeing those ads.

I think the Pirate Bay is going to disappear along with the insurance they think we’re providing them.

via Twitter for iPhone

@ap00rv And so it worked. Great. So now you’re going to write a comment and rate him like the people who made you suspicious, aren’t you?

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ap00rv

@karmanya no. These buses don’t have numbers. They’ll be buses that go just to gurgaon.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to karmanya

@karmanya There are DTCs(40 min frequency, maybe less) you can catch at Safdarjang(typo?) Hospital or near Bikaji Cama Place flyover.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to karmanya

@ajuonline ha ha. I guess people facing multiple electricity outages should do the same.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ajuonline

@ankurb careful. I have a pock mark on my face because I touched one of those when I was a kid.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ankurb

@ajuonline I hope you didn’t leave anything out. :)

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ajuonline

Lights gone. Now I can’t work or watch Lost.

via Twitter for iPhone

@ankur_sethi Hardware Compatibility Lists was what I meant. And why won’t you touch an HCL PC?

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to

@ankur_sethi you should check the HCLs before you buy any computer.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to

@ankur_sethi Apple has made the PC in general look like a Windows thing when it really isn’t that. You should base your decision on the OS.

@rungta Thanks for that link though. I had no idea that Microsoft is going to do that.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to rungta

@rungta I don’t think I meant that. Actually, I don’t know what I meant. Ughkfh;afha. Stupid me.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to rungta

@rungta I think even Microsoft included it as part of some SDK of theirs.

Flash 10 Beta. Something for the WinMo team to feel happy about. http://tr.im/pumU

@kbhargava I don’t think Ubuntu ships with wget.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to kbhargava

@ankurb Or maybe a customized version of an open source browser that sports the company logo. The start page can be a list of other browsers

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ankurb

@ankurb There may be an app installed that lets you connect to the internet and download a browser.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ankurb

@ankurb I think in the OEM version, the manufacturers can choose. Don’t know about the retail.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ankurb

@rungta How many hours do you use it everyday?

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to rungta

@rungta How would you rate the battery life?

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to rungta

We have 3 Apple Resellers and 3 other Apple Service Providers in Green Park, and I didn’t even know.

via Twitter for iPhone

@ajuonline I don’t think there any left. Do RT the places people mention.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ajuonline

@jugaadu Well, it cost me 50 bucks(tax included).

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to jugaadu

If Apple’s Wireless Keyboard was a full size keyboard, I would have gone and bought one today.

via Twitter for iPhone

‘Make Your Own Kind Of Music’ from Lost S02E01 is still stuck in my head.

via Twitter for iPhone

@jugaadu Incorrect. Went for a movie. Paid 50 bucks. Nothing extra.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to jugaadu

PVR morning shows cost 50 bucks. Cool.

via Twitter for iPhone

@adipedia Oh, I think it’s been on since they sent out an update to 3.0.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to wadipedia

@karmanya Hmm. Wow. That’s the first time someone has said anything negative about Ikea.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to karmanya

Is there any place in Delhi where I can get quality at an affordable price like this? http://bit.ly/14sDfF

via Twitter for iPhone

Ikea, why don’t you come to India?

via Twitter for iPhone

@sudhang Yeah. That’s why I thought you were X-less.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to sudhang

@sudhang I said it can be more functional. I didn’t say it _is_ more functional.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to sudhang

@ankur_sethi I like both KDE and Gnome. Gnome can be more functional and KDE can look better. My friend @sudhang hates both and is without X

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to

@ap00rv Heh. I think it’s more like more sales = more production per minute = higher probability of failure = lower quality.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ap00rv

Everywhere I see a failing hard disk, it’s a Seagate.

via Twitter for iPhone

I wish there was a BestBuy here so that I could actually go and test keyboards before I pick one.

via Twitter for iPhone

@sidnangia Seen that. Little steep. Have you used the Apple Wired Keyboard?

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to sidnangia

I need a new Keyboard. Help!!

via Twitter for iPhone

@prateekvijay That’s like saying - Some of the best Windows programmers work for Microsoft. :)

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to prateekvijay

@ajuonline great. Do they ship to India for free?

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ajuonline

I just hope Microsoft doesn’t get sued if they promote this along with Windows 7. http://bit.ly/19CWP

via Twitter for iPhone

@sidnangia Love both versions, now that I have them.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to sidnangia

Bought Tweetie. It really is terrific.

via Twitter for iPhone

@ap00rv Lol. Don’t they tell you then and there thar you one week’s time to practice and come again?

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ap00rv

Caffeine didn’t work today.

via Twitter for iPhone

@shivaas Oh yeah. That’s what I want. Cold coffee. Time to make some.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to shivaas

Lost(the TV show) is addictive.

via Twitter for iPhone

@ap00rv :S I thought you meant the same thing even earlier.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ap00rv

RT @ankur_sethi Education is brainwash.

via Twitter for iPhone

@ajuonline When you buy from the refurb store, buy only the current gen. If you’re getting a better deal on Amazon, go for it.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ajuonline

Ugh. Same number of IE6 visits everyday. Now you’ll see this: http://bit.ly/1d8C5

@ap00rv Wow. What happens when you click on the link?

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ap00rv

Boy Mac OS X looks fast after using Linux. I should do this more often.

via Twitter for iPhone

Installed OS 3.0. Looks good.

via Twitter for iPhone

@kbhargava Actually just the GlobalMenu + Transparency. The dock is AWN. I’ll never install the hideous Mac4Lin theme.

via DestroyTwitter in reply to kbhargava

@ankur_sethi It’s something called GlobalMenu. You’ll find it on Google Code. Been there for a while.

via DestroyTwitter in reply to

Installed Ubuntu and changed some settings. Love what I have now. Comfy! http://twitpic.com/7kmmb

@ap00rv I got it searching for deals on Google. A US website. I got my $349 APP for $170

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ap00rv

I’m thinking of using this on my website. http://www.flickr.com/ph…

via Twitter for iPhone

@ap00rv Expensive here. You could try eBay USA using your credit card. They will send you the code via email. And it should work just fine.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ap00rv

@ManishSinha Well, now I’m convinced. Those “sometimes” did play a big role. Flash is a great tool. The player can be better though.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to m4n1sh

@ManishSinha Sometimes. And you categorically call every Flash swf a desktop app because of those “sometimes”?

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to m4n1sh

@ManishSinha That’s not the point. Flash swfs are only as large as the content inside it. They are not desktop apps.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to m4n1sh

@ManishSinha The processor cycles are required by the Flash player, and that is already a desktop app just like your web browser.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to m4n1sh

@ManishSinha Jeez. HTML doesn’t? You can load Flash dynamically too. As and when you want something. It can read text and XML.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to m4n1sh

@ManishSinha I am talking about Template Monster Flash designs. They are NOT web apps. Are you joking? How can you compare Flash with AIR?

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to m4n1sh

@ManishSinha Nope. I’ve spent days and nights on Template Monster just gazing at the amazing Flash designs they have there.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to m4n1sh

@ManishSinha Umm..so? There is a difference between development and design. Four years back all I used to be interested in was web design.

Not releasing the SDK early is probably the biggest mistake Palm made, given that other platforms already have so many apps here.

@ManishSinha I don’t know. Doesn’t Gparted have an option to write ISOs like disk images, so that you can use a partition to boot from disk?
