Anyone in the market to lend me 5-6 billion dollars?
“What the hell would I want to do with that much cash?” , you ask?
Well, according to this nicely drawn-up legend on NYTimes’ website, I could pick me up a Lehman Bros here, a Washington Mutual there and even grab a decent majority chunk of Bear […]

So I’m reading Wired’s article on Greenpeace’s Guide to Green Electronics and something’s a little off …
Aside from XBoxes and Zunes (not a lot of that) and Natural Keyboards, what hardware does Microsoft really make?
I mean, Intel and AMD aren’t even on the list???
But it’s good to know that Nokia’s efforts in India are what […]

No, this isn’t a post about a new type of extension or tool called Glass embedded within Visual Basic.
It is, literally, about a piece of glass that was embedded in my chin for a few years, and just came out today!
Some history:
A few years ago, I was sitting in the back seat of a car […]

I have a problem with Google fanboys speaking of how Google Reader is much faster on Google’s own browser, Chrome.
These are mostly the same people who complained that Microsoft Office works better with Microsoft Windows (vs. Mac)
BTW, I’m a Firefox user!
But I will give Chrome a fair chance on my desktop too, so there.

Pretty close to my sentiments regarding the downhill education of the Professional IT people.
I expect that “professional” IT people are professional. I expect that they have a desire to learn, a technical competence to achieve the tasks they set out to do, and a constant need to push the envelope of what’s achievable and always […]

I’ve not really been blogging in the traditional sense … you know, like the kind of articles I would really write in a journal/log. I feel my blog’s become more of a scrapbook (not even a good one at that).
Add to that, there have been atleast 3 tries at revival!
So much for 3rd time lucky!
It’s […]
