Kismet connection

The day I became a story on page one of the Hindustan Times (Blogged in India, between covers in Pakistan), people looked at me, looked away, and then looked again. What kicks I got. Current friends demanded a treat, forgotten friends demanded to meet, neighbours congratulated and strangers called from Gorakhpur and Buffalo (my phone number is listed on my blog). But these moments of glory are fleeting. The day dies, the daily is dumped, and that day’s story becomes yesterday’s headline. Life chugs back to anonymity and I’m back in the darkness, groping to keep the machine running — five blogs, one day-job and five bosses in that day-job to take care of.

NBCU Wireless GM On iPhone: 'We Didn't Feel That We Had To Be There On Day One'

When it comes to the iPhone, large entertainment companies are sitting on the sidelines. NBC Universal (NYSE: GE) can’t justify investing in one platform, but instead is putting equal time and investment across the board at this point, Salil Dalvi, NBCU’s GM of wireless, told mocoNews. He’s not yet convinced there’s a huge advantage of building on-device applications for the iPhone’s updated operating system. “We didn’t feel that we had to be there on day one … One of the real surprises from my perspective is it just really changes how we approach the market,â€� Dalvi said. “We’re taking a look at it.

Wine @ Work: Running MS Office and IE on Linux

"The need for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer on Linux is a bit ambiguous since there are plenty of other browsers available. If a company decides that a particular browser’s use is mandatory, then this is one way of complying with that standard.

An Overview of Twitter Clients for Linux (Linux Journal)

Micro-blogging sites are everywhere these days. There's Jaiku, FriendFeed, Pownce, Tumblr, and Identi.ca, to name a few. For many, though, the original micro-blogging site is the best: Twitter. It certainly has the biggest userbase, if nothing else. If you don't know what micro-blogging is and how it is different from regular blogging, check out one of the many online Twitter introductions.
