“X person in Y year proved this equation. Its actually quite intuitive, if you think about it… but it turns out that if you do a ton of complex math (given in 2-3 research papers and/or a fat reference textbook), even the theory works out rather nicely.” This is the standard form of a lecture [...]
I like the idea of watching for signs. So I followed Casablanca’s tag to find the 5th sentence of my 23rd post… the sentence happens to be: Hunger. So yeah, class is just over and its noon and I need to have lunch. And yes, I’m always hungry. Like I (or anybody else) need a [...]
Well, folks, it doesn’t seem like Apple is giving me any rest. Next week there is yet another Apple special event with new products lined up – which will, no doubt, make me feel even poorer. Apparently revisions of the PowerMac series and the Powerbook series are due, and about time too. Dual-core is definitely [...]

The IIPM controversy has shown how powerful individual consciousness and responses can be in countering a seemingly large threat. You can make an equally powerful difference by sharing a bit of your resources with people in need. The quake in Pakistan and India has left over 40,000 dead, nearly as many injured and hundreds of [...]
So, some people at IIPM are probably peeved by critical remarks of Rashmi Bansal (via JAM Magazine) and Gaurav Sabnis who were the basis of some rather ineffectual, though multi-pronged attacks after publishing their statements online. Rashmi’s magazine site was attacked by an anonymous blog with one post – which I guess we’d never have [...]

Buying the Powerbook pushed me over the edge. I have now joined the hordes who contribute logic to Apple’s totally illogical and unsound model of advertising – word of byte.
