If there’s one word you had to associate with Apple, you’d probably make it design; but one word you gotta give to Apple fans is creativity. Engadget recently held a competition to ask its readers what Steve Jobs will announce tomorrow at an Apple Special event. Well, the results have been posted, the first 2 [...]

Another day, another awesome app for Mac OS X. This is tickr, and what it does can only be described as “simple, but profound”. Give it a tag, and it will fetch interesting photos from Flickr tagged with the tag. And scroll them at a hypnotizingly slow rate on the right side of your desktop. [...]

Landing involves narrowly missing diving into the sea. Nobody stands still on airport walkalators. Nobody. Taxi (and bus) drivers seem to sincerely believe they’re training for the Formula 1. The place is a sensory invasion. Signs, signs, and more signs. Nearly every tall commericial building has blinking lights surrounding it. If you’re on the road, [...]

It seems to be working just fine! And the day it was added to my account – today – I was able to find a use for it too… chatted with a friend right from the airpot. The interface is simple and great – as usual for Google! Now, if only they could beef up [...]

Linux is fun. Lots of fun. Except when you install it on bleeding edge hardware. Then, its a solid pain in the neck. Not often you hear me complain about Linux, but this has been a real tough nut to crack. So I got hyper excited when I was given charge of a brand-new dual-core [...]
