Another Digg Storm in the Making !
With the announcements made yesterday by Kevin Rose, regarding the changes in the Digg Algorithm another violent storm seems to be brewing up against the popular Social media site. The changes in the algorithm have apparently been made so that the newer users on Digg can promote their content easily, as opposed to the Top Users submissions that make it to the front page most of the time. So far the top users have had large friend following that would blindly digg stories for them, but the new algorithm looks... Read The Rest →

My thoughts on Macbook Air…
Initial reactions of the Macbook Air, were all ooh’s and aah’s when Uncle Steve unveiled it to a packed Audience in MacWorld 2008.

You might ask me, to which half I belong? Well my answer is somewhere in between, because I believe this is what the Macbook Air deserves. And this is the reason why I held... Read The Rest →

I have three Google Accounts. I use one to access Orkut and the other two for Gmail and Google Reader respectively. What if I want to read as well as do some social networking?

If you are a Windows Vista user, there is nothing more bugging than the UAC in Windows Vista. UAC which was supposed to bring improved security in Windows, does it pretty well but at the cost of user friendliness. There are lots of apps and softwares that I run on my Machine, and Vista bugs me everytime I open them. For quite some time I’ve been looking to disable UAC for select applications, rather than disabling it all together, as that could possibly create a security havoc. After some time...
