It isn’t rocket science, really…

How much user feedback could making a cellphone headset take, really? If you polled a few hundred from the adequate demographic wedges, I’d imagine you’d have the response pool grouped into the following sections: The road warrior The kind that is in the car a lot. Needs to keep the hands at the 10 &…
Bigfoot says Big Oil doesn’t gouge gas prices
| July 30, 2006 | Posted by Sujeet under Sujeetism |
Supply. Demand. I get it. However, if most of the stories about (depleting) natural oil reserves and the availability of oil are even remotely true, then its probably fair to assume that the supply isn’t as stellar as it used to be. Translated, with all things fossil fuel, we’re faced with a depleting supply and…
Miami Vice. Very Nice.

Sonny Crockett & Rico Tubbs are back! Before the review, a few interesting pieces of trivia: The movie uses real Ferraris all the way, but did you know that the original TV series used a Corvette in the first two seasons before Ferrari gave them the real thing(s)?

It shapes the perception of the world, or an element thereof, for those who participate; and it makes for interesting conversation, especially if there’s disagreement in the…
So much IM, so less time

They hated it at first. I remember the surprised / snarky remarks I got when I waxed eloquent about ICQ many moons ago. ICQ. Remember? The one that pioneered it all. The one that made screens flash with the almost-annoying “Uh, oh!” before Microsoft, Yahoo! and Google waded into the pond. The one that, arguably,…

And more importantly, is it truly worthwhile to get one? I’ve heard the arguments involving the tax credit, the “obvious” savings in gas (more ’bout that shortly) and the “as good as, power-wise” comparisons to regular cars. I’ve heard qualms about exotic replacement parts and battery life be quashed. And recently, I’ve heard that the…
