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 […]

Being a good friend is about knowing what that person likes.
Being a best friend is about knowing what that person dislikes.

Ok, so I went ahead and retired my most beloved, most excellent, the most most, k750i with another Sony Ericsson model … the P1i (see P1i photos)
It’s a pretty cool phone, as phones go. And it was a tough choice between P1i and the iPhone (Arvind, Jace and Suramya, un-drop your jaws now).
Firstly, why the […]

There is an argument in my mind.
Should I reduce plastic wastage and use wood based products where alternatives are possible or try to stop cutting down more trees?
Very often there aren’t options that don’t use plastic or wood. Whats an eco-lover got to do?
Or, maybe just reduce consumption overall??
Much easier than it sounds.

(with apologies to Josh Quittner, whose mag Business 2.0 I totally loved)
But, Seriously!
As an entrepreneur … I don’t need another social network letting me meet and chat with other entrepreneurs. Sure it’s all nice and fuzzy and maybe sometimes helpful meeting other entrepreneurs, but hearing from more than a few at a time and it’s over-kill. […]

#3 of seven lessons for startups from Intuit
3)     Your competitor is not other companies, but the way that things are done now.   Forty-six companies sold accounting packages at the time Quicken entered the market.   But Scott Cook found that Intuit’s real competitor was paper and pencil.  None of the other packages could balance a […]
