How to become a popular guy on the internet

The following ideas will help you getting on to the front page of a social networking website like Digg. Guaranteed. 

  1. Create a calorie calculator application for the jail broken iPhones. (It will make it to the front page of Digg with a title like “Finally, AMAZING calorie calculator application for iPhone [PICS]”)
  2. Write a bitching article about Vista’s poor performance as against Windows XP and Linux (“One year on and Vista is going down the drain!!”)
  3. Write a news article on how Ubuntu Linux is making inroads in Ethuvanian computers. (“Ethuvanian government selects Ubuntu over Vista for the 11 computers they are buying this fiscal”)
  4. Publish the photos of a hard drive from your father’s computer. (“This is how a 64MB hard drive used to look like [PICS]”)
  5. Create a dock replacement for Leopard OS. (“The best looking dock for the Leopard”)
  6. Write a news item about RIAA and MPAA’s anti-piracy measures. (“RIAA wants you to pay royalty for the song you hum while using the toilet”)
  7. Write a useless article like this and post it to Digg (“Top ten Linux commands for newbies”)

Eldar reviews the N95 8GB

When it comes to mobile phone reviews, there is nothing better than Mobile Review. It is the Ars Technica for Mobile phones. This time around, they have published a detailed review of the Nokia N95 8 GB with plenty of photos and screenshots. Don't miss it if you are planning to purchase it.

Alive…

…yes I am. Lots of updates and will post them in a couple of days. A major update is that I "upgraded" my classic N95 to the new N95 8 GB model. Believe me, the black beauty is worth every penny. It is faster and fixes most of the annoyances from the original model. Especially, the hissing during music playback is completely absent! I will write more about the phone in a future post.
