I actually enjoyed Angels and Demons.

@ankurb Also, I said they may be cancelling the event. It isn’t a sure thing.

@ankurb I am not sure. Some kid might have caught the flu. It’s so easy to for the media to catch on to a story lik (cont) http://tl.gd/irq5

@yuvipanda Sad. How did it go then?

Google misspelt its name to celebrate its 11th Birthday. Nice. http://google.com/

@ankurb And people follow him just to say that? :O

jQuery is very nice. Just realized what I’ve been missing.

The thing I hate the most about Windows has got to be the way it renders fonts. Even Helvetica doesn’t look good on Windows.

Microsoft, remember that you’re here to fix Windows. http://bit.ly/9bTD6

@prateekvijay your school will get a call if it’s cancelled.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to prateekvijay

@rajivmakhni too many oprah style posts about giveaways made it look like that.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to RajivMakhni

This year they could be cancelling the Bro. Aloysius Comp Symposium and Bro. Bergins Music Meet because of the flu.

Core i7 MacBook Pros where are you?

via Twitter for iPhone

@shivaas I think you answered your own question as you completed it.

@ajuonline yes its fast. But it took like 6 hours to install.

@shivaas did he actually say he prefers to use a Mac?

@gakman I’m happy it isn’t. If people start using this, a lot of us will be relieved.

@ankur_sethi This thing boots in like 3 seconds on my computer. Do you think it will grow and still be this fast?

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to

@ankur_sethi I’m going to install Haiku now.

@ankur_sethi Does it not work even on the new NVIDIA 9400M MacBook?

India and TRAI need to implement FCC’s net neutrality principles too.

HTC Leo looks slick. But Windows?

@ankur_sethi The 5.1s available aren’t true 5.1s. Do your research well.

@ankur_sethi HTC sense is the custom UI on the Hero that Engadget calls slow.

@kalyan02 For GoDaddy slow service causing timeouts doesn’t count as downtime.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to kalyan02

GoDaddy isn’t reliable. 1and1 isn’t reliable. Is there any decent budget web hosting service? Maybe I shouldn’t use a self-hosted service.

via Twitter for iPhone

Don’t know why but skype just doesn’t work on my airtel line anymore. iChat to the rescue.

via Twitter for iPhone

@kbhargava why do you use refit? Holding the option key at boot brings up a menu. I always install ubuntu without refit.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to kbhargava

@kbhargava easy way. Why take the pain? We have the same machines. Worked fine for me. It separates incompatible software anyway.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to kbhargava

Looks like the Zune HD is doing well. Finally, a good alternative. http://bit.ly/Eps9M

@ManishSinha disagree once again. Palm Pre and HTC Hero are nice too.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to m4n1sh

I don’t think a single textbook of mine has ever acknowledged the existence of AMD. It’s only Intel everywhere.

via Twitter for iPhone

@ManishSinha the person who asks this question will be able to answer it better. Buy not to satisfy ego.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to m4n1sh

@ManishSinha It has a lot to do with the kind of experience he wants. My advice would be to go through demonstrations and documentation.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to m4n1sh

I wonder what happened to Cisco’s IPhone.

via Twitter for iPhone

@ankur_sethi Both Airtel and Vodafone sell the iPhone. Buy it from one, you can’t switch to the other. That carrier lock’s my complaint.

via Twitter for iPhone

@prateekvijay Apple doesn’t operate the way Walmart does. If it did, we wouldn’t see it the way we do today.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to prateekvijay

@ankur_sethi that’s what I meant. The carriers cannot afford to subsidize it. Adoption will be much higher, Apple wants the same $$.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to

@ManishSinha It’s like asking someone whether he needs a dishwasher.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to m4n1sh

@ManishSinha A person who has use for it won’t ask such a question.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to m4n1sh

@ManishSinha of course, once you start using something that makes things easier, you wouldn’t want to lose it.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to m4n1sh

@ManishSinha neither. It’s a device one uses to do many things.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to m4n1sh

@ap00rv disagree. IPhone isn’t toothpaste.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ap00rv

We pay $4 for 400 minutes of talktime. That’s why you don’t get iPhone cheap. Indians and NDTV should stop complaining.

@adipedia I’d like all my link retweets to be bookmarked on Delicious.

Please Microsoft, bring Zune HD to the Mac.

@ajuonline really? I thought it was a lame name people used for their stupid websites.

Minimizing to the application dock icon in Snow Leopard would have be more usable if it had some sort of indicator on the icon.

via Twitter for iPhone

@adipedia Even some of the most recent potboilers are better than that book.

I dislike the new Google Search buttons.

I still can’t spot Arkham Asylum DVDs in Delhi.

@ap00rv Correction: You’ll look like one of those dudes at the Genius Bar.

Just wasted 2.5 hours reading ‘My Friend Sancho’. Terrible book. R: 1/5

@sachitgupta Oh and you could use the built in Keychain access app.

@ap00rv they went down by USD 20. And taxes are a whole lot more in the US. I got my $220 touch for $250.

India, in 2009, is struggling to have it’s 3G infrastructure setup while the world gets ready for 4G.

That was disappointing.

“One more thing…” is back.

@ManishSinha Ok. I have used only the 110BX1 and 220BX(I had my 110BX1 replaced with a 220BX). I have only heard about the newer ones.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to m4n1sh

@ManishSinha Oh yeah. Airtel replaces them anyway!

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to m4n1sh

@ap00rv some of their more recent models don’t support port forwarding even with the main.html trick.

@ahujaankit that it did on the date of its US launch if I remember correctly.

Jeez, when will Indians get to see the face of 3GS?

@sachitgupta The internet renders it small. Horrific.

@ap00rv The Airtel 220BX is excellent. But the new and improved 110BX1 is, as Ankur says, shit.
