Barack Obama - a Hindu?

Now that Obama has left the Trinity Church and is ‘in the market’ for a new worshiping place, Stephen Colbert recommends not a new church but a new religion - Hinduism.

Revive the Old Bar in Firefox 3.0

Use the old bar add-on in Firefox 3.0 if you don’t like the cluttered results you get as you begin typing in the address bar. It still searches for the words you begin typing in both the URL and the page title but displays them in one line as in the previous version of Firefox.

Hindu Explosions?

How can anyone remotely support Balu T and his wacko ideology after sprouting such nonsense? I agree with Gaurav that if the Thackeray family is the first to volunteer, I’m all for it. We can stop once we run through all the Thackerays. Thankfully, the RSS (not the feeds, re) opposes any such nonsensical talk.

Barack Obama’s Campaign Email

A simple passive website won’t do. A template of an email that the Obama campaign should seriously consider sending out to counter the Republican smear machine.

Comcast’s 10 million Pixel Video Wall

This 10 million pixel video wall at the new Comcast Center in Philadelphia is mindblowing. I’m sure the experience in real life must be overwhelming. Don’t miss the embedded videos especially the second one.

Bumper Stickers and Road Rage?

Apparently, the owners of this car or this one are prone to higher incidences of road rage according to this research. So stay away from those cars toting the stickers especially the ‘Spread World Peace’ ones like I stay from that car in College Station that literally covered from top to bottom with Star of [...]

Olympics 2016 Logos

With the Beijing Olympics nearing, the race for the 2016 edition is just warming up. The finalist cities of Chicago, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo all have interesting logos or at least much better than horrible London 2012 logo which is even worse than the logos of other applicant cities like Doha and Prague. [...]

Al Gore endorses Obama

Registered on AlGore.com, Ash informs me that Al Gore will endorse Barack Obama for President in a few hours in Detroit. Thus, the last big endorsement in the Democratic Party has come through and now we wait to hear from Bill Clinton. After the acrimonious campaign over the past few months, his public endorsement will [...]

Dasavatharam Review Reactions

The Dasavatharam review by Hawkeye linked on DesiPundit by JK has been receiving interesting Rediff-like comments. As much as I’m enjoying them I hope it doesn’t become a trend although I can’t complain about the increased traffic.

Obama - Fiscal Conservative?

Almost 90% of Americans will pay less taxes under Obama than under McCain. And you thought Republicans were the fiscally conservative party. You’ll seen an increase in your taxes under Obama only if you earn $112K or more (strangely only $12 increase if you earn between $227K and $603K). Perhaps the ‘tax cut to the [...]

Twitter Down Again?

I don’t know if I feel sorry for Jim or for Twitter. Seriously, Twitter must be the only online company that is having a problem with too many users or rather heavy users. They better fix their problems or be ready to lose their users to others like FriendFeed, Pownce, Plurk, etc.
