@sidnangia I think it was always vaporware.
Smultron’s source is more interesting a subject than what I’m supposed to be studying for tomorrow.
Keeps getting better. @atebit’s Tweetie 2.1 is like a 3.0.
@ankur_sethi You said the design is fail. Then you said they use JS to switch categories. Which makes it look like JS made it fail.
@ankur_sethi Just because those guys don’t know JavaScript doesn’t mean that JavaScript is fail.
All my todo lists are full of things I think I should do, but later realize I am better off ignoring.
@ahujaankit yeah it’s pretty good
@ahujaankit Am I too late to ask: Why Windows?
@ahujaankit What are the IPs assigned to your computer. Hope they’re on the same subnet. If you’re using wifi, then it’s obviously the same.
@ahujaankit It should work fine then. If you’re on Win 7 64-bit, you could try the 64-bit version of iTunes.
I have a gigabyte of apps on my iPod touch. Android phones have 256MB limits for app storage!
@ahujaankit Is your router on access point mode?
Oh wow. Airtel doesn’t know that it sells the iPhone. Spoke to a couple of “senior” reps and I had to lead them to the Airtel landing page.
@tburman Ooh. Where?
@ankur_sethi Never heard of Eclipse?
@ap00rv Vuze even lets you merge two internet connections to realize double the speed. If you have wireless + broadband or some such combo.
@ap00rv oh i wish.
We love to talk about the environment. Yet plastic bags never make it to the Twitter trends.
@ankur_sethi Buttons with depressed states to indicate a selection?

Android Market vs. iPhone App Store. Excellent analysis. http://x.xabhishek.com/a
@ajuonline You done with your iPhone3G?
@seesmic Does Seesmic work on Android QVGA?
Why don’t we have such sales in India? http://x.xabhishek.com/9

@ankur_sethi Sounds spectacular.
aalaap #WIN !! RT @aatifsumar: AWESOME! TRAI fixes Rs 19 reference rate for portability fee charged for changing operator while retaining number
@ap00rv Somehow, it didn’t shorten them automatically.
OMG. N900 for 529 bucks. Dirt cheap for an unlocked A8-Cortex.
@ankur_sethi Dude, you said Ubuntu was the shit. Then you said it was worse than Win 98. Are you going to contradict yourself again?
@ap00rv Café Coffee Day.
And a little bit mor than the 140 I can type out here. http://x.xabhishek.com/6
Interestingly, Chrome OS is timed for release at the same time when Google Docs will evolve to be as powerful as desktop office apps.
When replying to someone, pulling down that frame let’s you see the tweet you are replying to. Awesome. Tweetie. Discovery.
@kitallis Nescafé is as bad as Bru. If you don’t use real coffee powder from real coffee beans, it ain’t coffee.
@ap00rv There’s an option at the bottom that lets you change your display preferences.
Double tap on your DM icon to mark all DMs as unread if not in sync with Tweetie on your Mac.
So, it’s Thursday and Google is going to have an OS to show us.
Magellan in. TomTom in. Only Garmin’s left.
@ap00rv Mine stays on too, you know. If this was my other computer, it would have been a MacBook Air.
@achitnis Tweetups are way too casual to be of any value. I mean, what’s the difference between a Tweetup and lame chatrooms?
@emkwan Well, because I’ve seen far too many people complain about it failing. Some even dislike Apple computers b (cont) http://tl.gd/102j8
@achitnis Anything less than something like FOSS.IN is a waste of time.
@ap00rv Oh, and Reliance is an AASP too. At the iStore.
I hate door bells. There should be a better system.
@ap00rv It gives credit to the person who actually posted the original tweet. If you like to edit the tweet, you can use the traditional RT.
@ap00rv Go to Ansal Plaza. Call them first. They’re awesome. http://applecare.in/ http://iworld.co.in/
The Super Drive has got to be the single most defective piece of Apple hardware.
Somehow, I fail to understand why Jimi Hendrix is better that Eric Clapton.
If people spend money on an app they generally tend to give it a better rating. Almost all the free top 25 have only a 3 star rating.
I’d love Brizzly’s ‘explain this trend’ integrated into Tweetie. I don’t know whether that’s even possible.
Chrome is my favorite browser on Windows. Safari on the Mac. Firefox because of unpolished alternatives on Linux.
Looks like the Opera team has some catching up to do with the IE team.
@ap00rv Read the blog post along with it. It’s true. All of it.
@ManishSinha No more typos.
RT @rungta Bye bye phpMyAdmin, hello SQL Buddy. http://www.sqlbuddy.com/ (via @shauninman)
@aalaap Been a couple of weeks.
@aalaap Still so fugly. The VAIO. MBA all the way!
@ap00rv Those machines you talk about are humans in India. When I start hating it, I know I’ve had enough. :)
Google Chrome still looks too playful on Mac OS X. Wonder if that will ever change. Maybe they could learn from the Google Quick Search Box.
Oh, I actually really Love All This. http://loveallthis.tumbl…
Is there a Twitter app that you can authorize to delete bots?
@kbhargava Call Apple Support. Report your case and tell them you read about battery replacements on a support arti (cont) http://tl.gd/vdhl
I got iWork for Keynote, but I use Pages is the app I use the most. So much more affordable than a Microsoft Office license.
@kbhargava How many cycles? If under 300, you get a new battery.
@ap00rv Oh come on. uTorrent is in beta, and it’s not at all bad.
Holy shit, this cyclic multi-language code generator is cool. http://bit.ly/2ydyug (via @ahujaankit)
Ooh. ASUS is bigger than Toshiba. Wow EEE!
@ajuonline That’s because their own solutions don’t work.
Wow. Post ‘Make Money’. And discover new bots.
The next fortnight is going to be a fortnight of d’oh! 8 exams.
Make money itself.
Maybe Twitter will continue making money forever from its investors, with all plans to make money postponed to the the next decade.
@lut4rp why :S
I’m surprised that after all these years, I’m being forced to de-authorize a computer on iTunes only now.

Finally, a decent unlocked Android device. http://x.xabhishek.com/4
@achitnis Starting tomorrow. Till the 5th.
@achitnis Semester exams.
A whole bunch of us were heading for FOSS.IN. Stupid DU ruined everything.
␛.ws is such a cool domain. Should I?
@ajuonline Did you Android let you install paid apps? Ones that are copy protected.
A SPeeDY web protocol Google wants to use in place of the aging HTTP. http://bit.ly/16JEE1
Drat. More exams. I need a year’s break from this for the real learning.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Jobs quotes this in his next keynote. http://j.mp/27OiWh
Microsoft patenting sudo. http://bit.ly/4CcgrQ
@ajuonline pretty much.
Thank you Verizon for creating the hype the Android needed.
Just discovered ‘Watch me do’ in Automator. So indispensable.
And just when I posted this, I saw this on an Adsense spot somewhere. http://www.istoreindia.c…
RelianceDigital’s Apple iStore. Now in Delhi. http://www.indiaprwire.c…
@ankur_sethi And you can notice that the Dell plasticky feel on Alienware computers too now.
@ankur_sethi it’s shocking that unpacking something can look so fugly.
Oh shit. Yahoo advert now on the Flickr homepage. #yahoodouchiness
@shivaas The problem is these obvious things don’t need to be stated. They’re obviously very ignorant.
@ankurb because that’s where I ask friends and family to get stuff that’s dirt cheap for me.
@ap00rv The ones I have are excellent.
People might say that Verizon didn’t do the ad well, but I think it’s awesome. iDont, Droid Does. http://bit.ly/RXlQJ
@ahujaankit And they gave it 4 stars (or so I heard).
@ankurb Btw, the link to my rss feed has changed from /feed/rss/ to just /rss on both ES and xAbhishek.com
Sure, I like to pay for software. But these are software licences that developers have agreed to give out for free. http://www.macheist.com/
@ankurb Oh, I wish. Not yet, no.
I love Costco.
@ap00rv There’s this thing called a sale. During Thanksgiving. Halloween. Christmas. New Year. Black Friday. It’s endless.
MacBook Pros have had LED backlit displays since revision 3. How nice to know I have something I felt I didn’t.
@ap00rv I think my $5 Levi’s jeans are the cheapest jeans I’ve ever got. So, it also depends on where you look for stuff.
@ankur_sethi You got SL on two discs?
@ap00rv Ok, but they still don’t beat Threadless.
@ap00rv Links to the designs you chose on T-Shirts.in?
@ap00rv 3 dollar tees at walmart are better than those.
@ap00rv total junk.
@ap00rv where?
Why do you call your smart phone smart?
@lut4rp Ubuntu has native support for the hardware on most MBPs now.
@ahujaankit Much like the Indian regulations on several IT Acts. If they were followed the internet would look exactly like it does in China
So Windows Vista lets me use the display connected to my desktop as the secondary display for my Mac. But it doesn’t let me transfer files.
I can’t buy T-Shirts at @threadless because the ones I like are sold out. Some other time, maybe.
Some very nice TV ads promoting Twitter on Airtel. http://www.airtel.in/twi…
