  • European iPhone Facetime ads to emotionally blackmail you!

    Apple is out with 4 new iPhone Facetime commercials. This time for Europe. The purpose is the same. They fricking emotionally blackmail you into buying an iPhone 4! Wedding Dress

  • An Indianized 8″ Android Tablet for 9k

    Ever heard of Binatone? I remember it vividly because I basically grew up watching my favorite shows on a Binatone TV. Now over 15 years later of being lost in wilderness, I read the news that they are coming up with an Android tablet! Seems like anyone with money to spare is investing into mobile…

  • 5 of my favorite Dashboard Widgets [Mac]

    Now that your Dashboard kicks ass, you need to fill it up with widgets. Widgets that will change your life forever (or at least keep you happy for an hour). Here are 5 of my favorite, most used widgets:

  • Kickstart your Mac Dashboard

    I’ve never been much of a Dashboard user. I don’t hate it enough to disable it but I mostly forget about it and all the widgets. There is a big reason why I (and many others) do that. It’s painfully slow. The first load takes forever and that happens after every reboot or when your…

  • Setup a local PHP enabled Web Server on your Mac

    On Windows I’ve always used XAMPP for all the small PHP scripts I used to write. I was about to download it’s Mac version today but I thought, “Snow Leopard is basically *nix. I’m sure they have some PHP!”. I was right. The procedure to setup a basic web server with PHP support is something…

  • YouTube’s new Movies section with mostly crappy movies

    YouTube has launched a new Movies category where they offer free full length feature films. Currently they offer 400 titles, but plan to add more as indicated by the deals they have been striking up with various movie studios.

  • Middle Click on your Macbook/Magic Mouse

    If you are a browser junkie like me and have been missing out the Middle Click ever since you moved to a new Macbook (or got the touchy Magic Mouse), you have a reason to rejoice. I recently found a simple but smart project called 3-tap middle click. It does exactly what it says. It…

  • Android Gesture Search: Now with more Awesome

    The day I bought my Android phone, I downloaded the Google Gesture Search app and had a lot of fun playing around with it. It was an awesome idea. Just draw characters and numbers on your screen and search from your Contacts, Browser bookmarks, Apps and Music. It seemed to work well too. But that…

  • Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700 – Android sans frills

    No matter what I said before I’ve always been a hardcore iPhone fan. But I just couldn’t invest a laptop worth of money in a warranty-less iPhone 4 sourced from abroad. So I decided to shift camps, temporarily. The biggest problem in my opinions with Android devices is the that there are too many to…
