Found this blog, 'Jazz Cafe'. I dont love the content, but why why is it all in CAPS?

USB Flash Drive performance

I always thought that USB flash drives were all created equal. Except for looks (and of cource avoid the rotten fakes).
An article on Anandtech has changed this perception. Apparently there are speed differences, and that too drives that read fast may not write fast. File sizes also seem to make a difference. Read Anandtech USB Flash Drive Roundup, summary page , if you are in a hurryhere.

High Speed Art

High speed photographs of liquids are beautiful. Always marveled at the milk drop 'crown' photographs. Liquid Sculpture is a site filled with these.

Odd utitlity

Well maybe its not just odd. Maybe its actually a must. EULAlyser goes through EULA (the page with "I Agree" at the end of it) and analyses it.
EULAlyzer can analyze license agreements in seconds, and provide a detailed listing of potentially interesting words and phrases. Discover if the software you're about to install displays pop-up ads, transmits personally identifiable information, uses unique identifiers to track you, or much much more.

Actually it may be quite nice to have.

MS makes fun of themselves?

WE-SYP a supposed new programme at MS to enable the developers to get closer to the problems of the enduser. This is the first time I have found something to laugh from the MS site.
Hey their security page is not supposed to be funny.

Flock

Been waiting for Flock and now theres a Developers Preview out. I wonder how this will workout. One has to give it your del.iso.us password, your blog password and possibly your flickr password. Soon someone will have privacy concerns. Blogging right now through Flock. There is a little button "TOPBAR" in the right corner of the blog tool. It rather nicely hung flock, so I will not mess with it till I have some free time.

Tushar no word from you yet? Dharmesh this is fun, but I know you will crib that your not installing another browser.

Somehow I am not happy yet.

Child porn in Windows 95

This is insane. Watch out for the black helicopters too. Read the Win95 kiddy porn article here. People are really weird, can see evil in just anything.

Wallpaper

People at office are upset about my new wallpaper. I explain that I took this photo early in the morning when I was still sleepy but hungry, but they feel it is not 'right ' for office. Wonder why? I would think this image makes you think of health and nourishment.

They seem to think otherwise.

Well thats their opinion, I like having a couple of eggs for breakfast. Posted by Picasa

Comment Spam

Been getting spam comment. Got bored of deleting them. So now you got to do word verification. Sorry, I know just two of you comment my blog. But its disgusting to see spam.

A bandaid by any other name?

Are these bandaids or what? Sure look like that to me. And they claim they played a role in the Matrix II. They have a patent too. Well its not so strange if you see whats being blogged for a good cause.
While we are onto boobies..... these pics at flickr are wonderful. Shadows thru lace.
