well not really! I just turned on RSSCloud support on this blog’s feed. RSSCloud allows the feedreader subscribing to you, to setup a callback address, which your blog will call whenever you publish something. If every blog does the same, it could account for several thousand, if not million CPU cycles due to lesser polling. It is the brain-child of Dave Winer, the man who invented RSS, the author of the ever-popular scriptingnews blog. (If you had started blog back in 1994, you could’ve got a domain as kewl as his!) ...

via minkyu.co.uk Fricking awesome! I would kill to have this made for the Canadian and the Indian plugs as well (I’m just kidding … .or am I?!) Posted via web from shiva’s posterous

With Snow Leopard, Apple has the first time done something that has made me go wow! An almost free OS upgrade. This kinda beats the crap out of paying a couple hundred for Win7. [Posted via email from posterous - service no longer available]

1. Put your mp3s on shuffle. 2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer. 3. Write the song name down no matter how silly it sounds. 4. Tag 10 people. (I don’t do this .. It’s called spam) someone says ‘are you okay’ you say? Cat stevens - wild world (hmm… Note to self .. Delete that song!) how would you describe yourself? Julie Doiron - Consolation Prize ...

Google reader is one of Google’s products, that didn’t you didn’t realize you needed until you started using it. Heck, pretty much every product they do is in that category. It is one app where I spend a lot of time every day. That is how I still manage to read blogs. Even after twitter and facebook and friendfeed, GReader is still the place, where you can truly control the signal vs noise ratio of content that you read. ...

Hi Jason, I was writing a post very much on the same lines, when I read your mail. I’m on my 3rd ipod, 1st iphone and 2nd MBP (one which I ordered just last week). I don’t think I can in the right mind buy another iphone or ipod for the amount of control that apple gets. 1. Absolutely. This is a no-brainer, that I’m frankly surprised that Steve Jobs does not see?! Well not really. Apple has always been a closed company. I was under the impression that Apple was a *hardware* company. This behaviour of blocking other applications from talking to Apple products is not only insane, and unfair to the consumer, it quite frankly against the interest of Apple shareholders. I’m pretty sure that having more ways to access data on Apple devices will have a direct impact on the sales of those products. Any product manager or marketeer who has desgined/sold electronics products will see the sense in this. ...

Yeah that’s right! Myspace was still relevant. I have a theory that the internet usage explosion will not happen in other countries, until the US gives up its share of reserved IP addresses.

I’m pretty sure that I am violating some copyright by posting these here but they really are good. (I found these on a facebook album shared by someone I know - thank you if you know who you are). I did several searches on google and bing and couldn’t trace any restrictions. If you have problems with it, let me know.

The first replicator was the gene - the basis of biological evolution. The second was memes - the basis of cultural evolution. I believe that what we are now seeing, in a vast technological explosion, is the birth of a third evolutionary process. We are Earth’s Pandoran species, yet we are blissfully oblivious to what we have let out of the box. via newscientist.com A little apocalyptic, but not beyond the realm of possibility. Of course, this does assume memes as fact, when in reality it is quite circumspect. ...
