  • Any Jefferson Airplane fans out here? If so, what are your favorite albums? #
  • @gkjohn yes, manually adding openbittorrent, publicbt and denis.stalker trackers helps. If not, you make do with DHT and hope for the best. #
  • @sarinsuares yes, but its always great to know you have a choice of moving out without having to worry about the number. #
  • Taking a guess here: of all people, Mobile Number Portability has to be most exciting for BSNL and BPL Mobile customers. #
  • @ShivamVij Reliance. If I could help it, I wouldn't have ANYTHING to do with that brand. I'm forced to buy their power though. #
  • @am2680 it should be cheaper. Its $30 in the US. #
  • @AaruC Garba tweetup? Doesn't sound very cool to me. in reply to AaruC #
  • RT @vimoh Is Dove better than soap? Dove is a soap you eggheads. – That's marketing for you. #
  • Dear @twitter, please strike down all the spambots who are following me. At least 10 of them since the past couple of days. #
  • Best use of office monitors ever. http://ff.im/-8DdTp #

  • The ultimate irony of Google Chrome Frame is the fact that its made possible by ActiveX. #
  • Torrented myself a Mitch Hedberg video. I think that man was the most awesome stand-up comedian ever. #

  • Starting my day with western classical guitar. Maybe it will keep me happier. #
  • @codelust On the contrary, I like to follow such people. Visiting someone's profile and finding it FULL of @replies puts me off. in reply to codelust #
  • @bigfatphoenix Also, keep 250 bucks handy while returning. Thats what they charge to LET YOU IN to the Airport. 'UDF charge', its called. in reply to bigfatphoenix #

  • @vimoh Wow, you sure have taste! in reply to vimoh #
  • @codelust Now, I know you don't get them as much, but I dislike compulsive @repliers purely on principle. @replies ought to be under 30% in reply to codelust #
  • @ashokli You must not do so much email then. But I love iPhone too. I think a killer combo would be Blackberry + iPod Touch. in reply to ashokli #
  • RT @amrithallan Is it only Airtel or every telecom company charges for the service, and also takes the "service charge" ? #

  • Doing the daily walk. Atmosphere is augmented by Foo Fighters blasting in my ears, traffic, and interesting lightning patterns in the sky. #
  • Sidewiki, most definitely, is a very logical next step after Google did SearchWiki. What I want to know is, are the comments common to both? #
  • @Jason No plugin yet. Don't think it should be built in. in reply to Jason #

  • Out of nowhere, its raining crazy hard. Gives me mixed feelings. #
  • The only fulfilling thing in my life right now is CounterStrike. Sweet Jesus! I'm so boring. #
  • Note to self: Don't comment on people's Facebook stuff unless you REALLY care. Or be prepared to deal with a barrage of unneeded 'updates'. #
  • Note to Net4India – your Website stinks. Absolutely stinks. It won't even let me log in. #
  • Because of the rain, I can't even do my daily walk. 600 calories will not be burnt. Today has been fucked up. #
  • When you feel bored, try and have fun with the Konami Code http://ff.im/-8xaWt #
  • Fucking bored of all these blog posts around Web Browser faceoffs. The tug of war over Javascript speed. As if the ordinary user notices. #
  • Presenting the Gnome 3 UI. Like OS X, but ugly. Come on guys! http://ff.im/-8xxmv #
  • @ghoseb Browsers need to do JS fast, agreed. But these comparisons are on VERY minute scales. As long as its 'fast enough', users don't care in reply to ghoseb #
  • Battle of the buzzwords: Apple vs. Microsoft http://ff.im/-8xJ6k #
  • @shaaqT Gah! Shobha De makes me cringe. in reply to shaaqT #
  • Now following @vijayanands and @rashmid. Discovery via @MrTweet. #
  • @keithdsouza Something is wrong with Opera. Period. in reply to keithdsouza #
  • Its great Twitter wants to formalize retweeting, but the way they want implement it kills all joy! http://ff.im/-8xTCw #
  • If browsers were women… http://ff.im/-8xTCv #
  • @purelynarcotic I actually did write it. in reply to purelynarcotic #
  • Twitter's 'new-style' retweeting is actually the only the 'favorite' feature done right. RTing needs context. #
  • @am2680 Have you considered upgrading to Leopard? or Snow Leopard? in reply to am2680 #

  • So, what's the deal with Piratebay? The trackers have all gone AWOL, but the site is still alive and shows seeders when there are none! #
  • One technology I want to see implemented in the bittorrent space is Tracker Exchange between peers. It sucks to manually add new trackers. #
  • @mixdev distributed trackerless packet exchange would be 'too distributed' #
  • Just discovered: Even pages on Microsoft.com break on IE6 #
