There are several issues that people have uncovered in the last 2 days that it has existed. For me, of all the features that Buzz lacks, one thing really stands out. There is no way to just see a list of the conversations (without the whole list of comments expanded by default). This is the main reason that I *had* to unfollow Scoble, Michael Arrington, Louis Gray and a bunch of others. Take a look at this conversation, and you would understand why. ...

Did anyone else notice that buzz has an RSS feed for everything!! Here’s a conversation that @Thomashawk started Here’s the feed for that entry Here’s the feed for the owner’s entries Theoretically, one could build a service that aggregates only specific conversations (and keep them updated), or only a small group etc… No more reading data from a firehose!! That is very nice. P.S: also this could be a way to aggregate all your webservices into one super feed, that can then be posted elsewhere (comments and all!!) ...

http://www.defectivebydesign.org/ipad If you think that the iPad is promoting DRM of apps that will lead computing in a direction that will undermine the freedom that we currently are enjoying, freedom the seeds of which have been sown over the last few decades, the visit the link above and sign the petition.

about the iPad, or so I thought. Then I realized with every single one of them writing pages upon pages of commentary, I’m not going to bring in too much insight. I’ve hence, tried to curate some interesting articles that I found. You’ve probably read most of them already, but in case you have been in a di-lithium mine on Remus. Yup! That’s right, I do like Star Trek. Now do you understand why I loathe - hate - despise what has been done to the iPad!! PADD!! arrrrggghhh! serenity now! serenity now! ...

It’s been a while since I last updated, or even had the inclination to do so … well .. I’m back. Here’s what I’ve been doing since the last time I updated: work worry work procrastinate gain weight work quit smoking go to India fail miserably at quitting smoking took a lot of pictures return to vancouver work In the end, here’s what I have to show for the last month ...

I’ve lived in India for 27 of the 29 years of my life (moved to Canada in 2007) For almost every year for the last 15 years (that’s how long I’ve been a gadget/tech fanatic), I have lamented the availability or lack thereof of any newly released shiny thingies. Amazon has finally figured out that people outside the US, read books too. Imagine my delight when I heard that there a new version of theKindle (The global wireless edition - no less) (Disclosure: affiliate link). ...

Dave Winer, the inventor of RSS, wrote today about twitter’s latest API update for supporting the lists feature It turns out there’s an API call that retrieves the timeline for a list, and it works exactly like the API call that retrieves the timeline for an account. So much so that I didn’t even have to change the glue script, I pass in a different URL and it just worked > orig link I wonder if there can be a better award?! Dave Winer applauding twitter?! I never thought I’d see the day ;) (Just kidding Dave). Dave’s right though. There is a certain high that you get when something just works (as it was intended). That is the high that we programmers live for. It’s like a runner’s high. ...

Got a new iPhone app called sketchbook, by autodesk. http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=327375467&mt=8 You need to check this out. Trust it is really cool and loads of fun

I’ve been waiting for this for a while now! Gary I hope it is all that I expect it to be. If I don’t read this the day I get it, and jump up from my bed at 2 AM crying “crush it” … well … I bet I will.
