I still remember how I had to go through all the local PC shops, trying to locate the cheapest supplier of each component and then going through the hassel of putting them together to have a barely functional PC.
Or was it actually too long ago? My laptop was not functioning properly. Researching for a laptop today I came across this laptop that is available for less than half that amount. …

Business Today magazine published a list of hot startups in India. Startups are not just technical ones but are of various fields. Check it out here.

The days are gone when Macs meant only MacOS. Today’s Macs use the Intel architecture rather than the old PowerPC architecture. Coming to Windows, you can easily install it on your MacBook using the bootcamp software provided by Apple itself.

I am at home for past few days. For past 4 years I always thought that day by day computers are making our lives all the more easy. With all the cool new services and softwares coming up it seems as if computers will eliminate all our problems. But what we do not think is that computers themselves are becoming too complex to use.
A close analogy that I can think of is an aeroplane’s cockpit and a car’s cockpit. Sure, Aeroplanes are much more than cars but ever looked …

It came as a shock and a big relief too… MS Office to support ODF.
Relief because I am a Linux fan to the extent that I won’t even use MS office for my document work so the news gives me so much of relief.
Shocked because I really can’t figure out what Mr. Ballmer wants. So much of weired stuff since Mr. Ballmer became the CEO…First the Yahoo stuff, then the cashback on search and now this…and yes, did you hear of Mr. Ballmer being egged?
I really can’t get whether …

An IT professional has been arrested for writing obscene comments about Sonia Gandhi on an orkut community “I hate Sonia Gandhi”. Many in the blogosphere seem to think that this is an attack on free speech and Google was in the wrong for supplying the data to the government. (See the comments)
The accused has been arrested under section 292 of Indian Penal Code and section 67 of the Information Technology Act. I am no lawyer. However even a cursory glance at the sections makes it clear that the case is …

I have made all my money online through Adsense. I intend to continue to monetize my websites through adsense. Hence I should be the last person to complain about adsense. As a webmaster I am quite impressed with adsense.
But I happen to be a user of internet on technology blogs, classified sites and social news sites trying to find information to get my job done. And I am frustrated with adsense as a user. I am frustrated because of senseless comments just for the sake of getting a link …

Every blog has two types of visitors : returning readers and first time visitors. Returning readers already know what to expect on your blog and come to your site for its content and for what you write. First time visitors, (mostly search engine visitors), come because they are looking for something particular, look at the page, and leave.
The returning visitors should be treated as premium members because they spread word about your blog and link to you. Anyways they are least likely to click on your advertisements. So no …

I had made a post about ie7.com advertising for firefox. In the comments to the post rajeev pointed out that airtel.com redirects to vodafone. Someone please let me know if this is legal.

Being as popular as techcrunch is perhaps the most ambitious objective of any tech blogger including me. Just found out the january traffic number for techcrunch. So techcrunch has 2,647,027 unique visitors. Well with 6,800 unique visitors binaryday needs to grow only 400 times to beat techcrunch. Not that tuff….watch out for me mike.

I stumbled upon ie7.com accidentally and I was surprised to find a huge firefox logo there. Just wondering if this is legal i.e to book a domain similar to the brand of your rival? Please let me know if you have any views on the same in the comments.
