I saw a vanity license plate, XTINE R, on a 3-series BMW. I think the owner meant ‘Christine’ with XINE. X like Christ in Xmas. It is not Xtmas, right? So why XTINE instead of XINE? Probably ‘coz X in Xmas is pronounced Chris and not Christ?

From the pictures I have seen and reports I have read, I am not impressed. It doesn’t look as cool as an iPhone 3G. Looks like I will have to hold one in hand and check out its capabilities before making any more statements about it…one way or the other. The wait is still on. [...] When acquisition rumors were just getting started, Yahoo! was wildly promoting IE7 (even to Firefox users on Linux). What have you seen on Yahoo!’s frontpage lately? This is what is happening: (if you can’t see it in the picture below, click on the image to see it in higher resolution image) This, on IE7 [...] I am not going to repeat what the tech world was buzzing with today. What is going unheard in the din is that even current AT&T subscribers need to sign a new two-year contract to get the new iPhone.

No, he’s not on frontpage because he’s one of the directors of Apple’s board. Al Gore is the co-recipient of this year’s Nobel peace prize which was announced earlier today. Congratulations, Al Gore. You certainly deserve this award more than Henry Kissinger did when he was given [...] When: Saturday, July 21 2007 When: Saturday, July 21 2007 and Sunday, July 22 2007 (6.57 pm) Update: [...] I am not sure I believe that Terry Semel stepped down of his own volition. Could Terry Semel Stepped Down as CEO be an euphemism for Terry Semel Ousted as CEO? I think so. While retaining him as non-executive Chairman may incorrectly indicate that he wasn’t ousted, I strongly believe he has been retained as [...] Last november I complained when I was unsuccessful in my attempt to get a Wii on Amazon.com. This past saturday I came to know that Target was selling them in their stores the following day. I went to my local Target at about 5.30 am only to find that some folks had camped out in [...] It is said that when it comes to advertising, websites have an advantage over traditional media like newspapers, radio, TV, etc. The advantage, it is said, websites can target ads based on user’s profile…browser, operating system, geographical area based on user’s IP address, etc. for a user that is not signed in and also based [...] |
