@ankurb It isn’t expensive. 250 bucks for 250MB is worth it. The speeds are terrific too. If I’m not mistaken it works at 2mbps+ speeds.
@ankurb Their 3G service is excellent when it works.
@ankurb It is. MTNL was much better when I started using it. I didn’t switch because I would have spent way too much if I did. Now I Skype.
Thanks to MTNL for all the free calls. It was fun for a couple of months. Now since reliability is more important, I use Airtel GSM.
@ankur_sethi Don’t do that. They’re a waste.
Oh, Apple. Why couldn’t you have shipped Snow Leopard a little earlier? Now my disc is stuck in VA.
I wish iPhone OS supported more fonts.
PCalc is awesome. But my TI is better.
Leaked iPhone Commerical. http://adamthinks.com/ip…
Creed are back together with a new single.
Pearl Jam’s ‘The Fixer’ video free on iTunes this week. Grab it.
@rungta That’s a good one.
@adipedia nice.
@ankurb you’ll see your balance reduce once you’re back.
“People who multitask are bad at it.” http://bit.ly/YFUOv
Ooh. I’m on today’s Financial Chronicle(Asian Age).

Whole lot of Mac users here. Snow Leopard is a Twitter trend!
I ♥ Gill Sans.
Will now post at http://escapedsequence.c…
Also added a drop down menu for those who’d like to invert the colour scheme.
@ManishSinha Haven’t used my CC for anything other than verification on PayPal.
@ankur_sethi Credit card.
@ankur_sethi Yes.
@rungta I went through that stage. Now I’ve started loving ‘Gill Sans’ again.
@ankur_sethi If it’s a Visa/Mastercard it might work. But not the Electron/Maestro variants.
@ankur_sethi no
Trying to understand PayPal using the PayPal Help Center is like trying to understand evolution using the Holy Bible. (RT @ankur_sethi)
Apple responds to the FCC enquiry about the App Store. http://bit.ly/17yjTV
@adipedia iPhone?
@ajuonline Delhi? Of course.
@sudhang I don’t think HTML character codes work on twitter.
RT @inboxzero Multitasking is like driving or oral sex—everybody just assumes they’re great at it until they start asking around.
The PSP Go looks so Nintendo-ish.
I like the Facebook iPhone App. Makes the mess that Facebook is a little easier to use.
I think I’ll have to flunk a few subjects this time. Just can’t pack all the learning into my schedule without doing that.
@ankur_sethi lol
@ankur_sethi I thought they’d specially have to hire people to make everything work on IE.
I just love this Vodafone ad. And the tune the ad ends with is just stuck in my head.

I can’t use the iPhone Simulator to test all my apps. What a pain!
@ankur_sethi That would be bad.
Is a JavaScript speed test all that a person cares about in a browser now?
A slew of blogs have skewed text sizes when visited on MobileSafari. Text inside h1, h2 tags look smaller than the body text of posts.
I thought the people who have access to Snow Leopard aren’t supposed to talk about it or review it publicly like this. http://bit.ly/iZCR9
iPhone SDK 3 for Snow Leopard is only 400MB. The doc on ADC says that installing XCode is a prerequisite for the SDK. Makes sense.
Wrong. GIMP is 20MB because it doesn’t work. Not because it is awesome.
GIMP is Mac OS X native and only 20MB in size. Awesome.
@rungta Welcome back.
@shivaas I love IKEA
@ap00rv I installed just the essentials. 10.5 specific packages, GCC + libraries. You can make out looking at the filenames.
@bobbyfsh I recommend you use that too. We think alike.
@ankur_sethi I think Opera should start focusing on improving the mobile browsing experience on shitty phones that support only Java apps.
NNW 3.2 Beta 12 seems pretty stable. They’ve also temporarily disabled ads from The Deck.
@ap00rv You don’t need the latest version. I manually installed some of the packages from my 10.5.0 DVD on 10.5.8 and it worked just fine.
Just discovered the Processor Palette in the CHUD Tools in Xcode.
@ankur_sethi not just on the Mac. It’s slow even on Linux and Windows. It actually competes with IE.
Doesn’t Greyscale make Chromium look it’s sporting the ‘Marble’ appearance that Apple is supposed to be working on?
Chromium 4’s Theme System is very cool.
@ahujaankit No. Apple released the 3G on that day last year. Free unlocks as contracts expire.
I have an feeling someone at Airtel might leak the tools they use to unlock the iPhone 3G officially as they start using them on 22 August.
Firing up Time Machine for the first time.
@ankurb it always has been.
@ankur_sethi Final release was seeded to developers.
Snow Leopard goes GM.
It’s funny to see so many people sign on with the “I’m not here” status message.
@ankur_sethi Disagree.
Looks like the politicians are back in town. No power cuts in my colony this month.
@rajeshlalwani Agree.
Trusting the Web [New post on xAbhishek.com] http://xabhishek.com/x/1
@ankur_sethi I don’t think it has because this doesn’t happen on Bing. Unless Yahoo! forces this wonky behavior.
@ankurb First Yahoo Search says “It’s possible that you’re wrong” but as you look down you see it’s actually saying “You’re wrong jackass”.
@ankurb But instead of including a few results of “abhishek”, it removes all “xabhishek” results. No other engine corrects users this way.
@ankurb You’ll now easily be to make out which search engine’s results I’m most likely to ignore. http://yfrog.com/0nqi1p
@ankur_sethi huh?
Waiting for the 3GS India launch.
@namanb I think you’ll be able to find it on Amazon.
Grab PCalc Lite on the app store. Gorgeous calculator available for a short period of tome.
@namanb I have no idea. Introduction to Algorithms by CLRS is a good book. So is Drozdek.
Tanenbaum’s book on Networks is awesome. Been reading it like a story book.
Just saved a couple of gigs manually installing the CLI Dev Tools on OS X.
@ap00rv Thanks.
@ap00rv 31st.
@sudhang thanks.
@ap00rv next time you come this side you will.
@ankur_sethi they were surprise parties. For my birthday.
Had 3 surprise birthday parties this week.
@ap00rv Originally, the adaptor did not supply enough power to power both the cores. So both the battery and adaptor worked together.
Do MBPs still work only on a single core when operated on without a battery?
