  • What women want!!

    From bash.org:

    A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you’re a great guy, but I don’t like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we’re not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we’re going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn’t work out, we’ll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.

    ROTFL!! Reminds me of Rajesh Advani, who btw, has started blogging again.

  • MS Vista Released

    And what are its features (according to The Onion):

    • Microsoft Word’s helpful paper-clip icon now blinks at rate of normal humans
    • Enhanced graphics on “System Is Not Responding” pop-up window
    • Five new card-back designs for Solitaire
    • Lists blocked wireless connections with greater speed and accuracy
    • New operating system, same old Microsoft Paint

    Go read the full thing.

  • Web2.0 and Manifestos

    Check out the Devil’s Dictionary and it’s definition of Web2.0. Pretty hilarious stuff out there. Particularly liked the definition of e-mail.

    A method of electronic communication, primarily used to inform you that your penis is too small.

    Also came across this collection of manifestos and other writings on entrepreneurship on the web at ChangeThis. This is what they say about themselves.

    ChangeThis is creating a new kind of media. A form of media that uses existing tools (like PDFs, blogs and the web) to challenge the way ideas are created and spread.

    Stuff by people like Hugh MacLeod, of Gaping Void fame, marketing guru Seth Godin, and Guy Kawasaki, a former Apple evangelist and entrepreneur par excellence. Damn nice stuff to read up there. I suggest you sure pay a visit.

  • Foot-in-Mouth Awards

    The Wired guys have done a 2006 Foot-in-Mouth Awards. Though the entire list is humorous and right up there, this particular entry, methinks should not have been there. I mean all this guy said was the truth, and nothing but the truth. CEOs in general are people who say twisted things in a more confusing matter. But Billy Boy believes in providing you the straight dope.

    “Let’s face it. We’re not changing the world. We’re building a product that helps people buy more crap — and watch porn.

    ~ Seagate CEO Bill Watkins“

    Personally, I think the one by Senator Stevens is the best on the list.

  • Sledging from the crowd!!

    From Cricinfo:

    Message of the day: And just when Graeme Smith thought it couldn’t get any worse. Two South African fans, shirtless and no doubt fuelled with lager, took out a banner soon after lunch. “Smith: Hope you’d scored more with Minki [van der Westhuizen],” it said, a reference to his former girlfriend. So much for not kicking a man when he’s down, and out [for 5].

    And you thought the Aussies were bad!!
