  1. Google's response on Even Faster Web Sites · · Score: 1

    I suspect he overshot his 20% time while writing this, so the guys at Google decided to screw him over by posting this:

    Let's make the web faster

  4. Re:poor latin on Dell's Adamo Goes After MacBook Air · · Score: 1

    ""Adamo, pronounced 'A-dahm-o,' means 'to fall in love with' in Latin."

    phhh, as any fule knos, it really means 'I fall in love with' if they had wanted it to mean 'to fall in love with' it should be called 'adamare'

    come on, this is a basic 1st conjugation verb with a preposition, basic stuff.

    Yeah what he said...

  5. Re:Chrome still misses the point on 2.0 Beta Chrome On Windows, Chromium On Linux · · Score: 1

    I agree. I'm a Chrome fan for fast and light weight browsing, but I think I just get a lot more done with GreaseMonkey and Ubiquity combined on FF. But I guess while Chrome needs to support add-ons in the future, FireFox needs to realize that it needs to spruce up its memory and process management. Hopefully the competition will do what it usually does, force the developers on both fronts to get off their asses, improve two WONDERFUL products and make them even better. End result, the end-user wins. I like the fact that FF finally has competition on the loyalty front. On the PR front, FireFox had eaten IE alive but with Chrome catching up on the PR and technology front, I guess FF is in for some real heat. Should be a fun game to watch (and hopefully contribute to! )

    Well in my city, given the number of potholes, I could pretty much power up my car to hit the lunar surface in 6 seconds something I couldn't do on a smooth road. QED There. Fixed that for you.

  11. perl for trivial tasks?! on February 13th, UNIX Time Will Reach 1234567890 · · Score: 1

    We're expected to use perl for such trivial tasks? I think we need a better man date.

  12. Re:Terror Mails? on Mumbai Police To Enforce Wi-Fi Security · · Score: 1

    With reference to this specific article, terror mails refer to the "threatening" mails sent to the media allegedly by the Indian Mujahideen which were followed by the terror attacks in Ahmedabad (a city in India) and similar attacks elsewhere in India. I guess the process of "tipping off" the media before the attack actually happens is for them to get maximum media coverage of their handiwork (sometimes as it happens). One person caught in connection with this was a principal software engineer at Yahoo, Pune according to this article by the times of India: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/MNC_techie_sent_terror_emails_Mumbai_Police/articleshow/msid-3566789,curpg-2.cms

  13. Re:What about OneNote? on Microsoft's Thumbtack, an Answer To Google Notebook · · Score: 1

    I guess it's because OneNote is more of a desktop app that saves data locally and is commercial (I am not personally aware of any EASY option of storing OneNote data remotely - although I wouldn't be surprised if there is one). I guess the fight is for free and generally useful, stripped-down, online applications that would prove useful to the masses which would, in turn, allow Microsoft to generate ad-revenue and direct users to other service offerings like search, etc. just as Google has been doing for very many years. Thumbtak won't compete with OneNote and even if it does, at this point, Microsoft really doesn't seem to have a choice BUT to compete in the online applications domain lest it be left faaaar faaaaar behind and be forgotten. And like Google, Microsoft may even provide corporate versions of their online apps which provide better collaborative features.

  14. Re:I think an important question here is... on Microsoft's Thumbtack, an Answer To Google Notebook · · Score: 2, Informative

    A Google Notebook icon sits in your Firefox status bar. You can select text on any page (including images) and click a button and it's saved to your google notebook along with a reference URL. You don't need to go to notebook.google.com every time.
