Adobe – Apple thing
First the iPhone, now iPad. Flash is not invited to the party, and obviously Adobe is not happy. Understandable. They want to make sure their developers are able to write iPhone and iPad apps without ever leaving the Flash platform. Understandable. What is not understandable is the route they are taking. The idea to convert …
Install Snow Leopard from an external hard drive
I was deprived of using the latest Mac OS X, Snow Leopard for hours because I didn’t know this simplest of features. For some cursed reason my early 2008 white MacBook would spit out the installation DVD after about 15 seconds of making various pitched noises. Nothing I do would mount the drive. Remote installation didn’t …
Submit Electronic Forms from Adobe Reader, and more
This used to my biggest gripe about Acrobat Reader – for all its bulk and bloat, all it could do is read. Of course, you could generate some really good electronic forms with Reader Pro, but it was never really useful because, it was required that every user who is ever going to fill that …

Free Edge
Apple Store came to Melbourne in June this year, only third in all of Australia and first in Melbourne. For years before then, the only place to get Apple products has been resellers, of which there are very few around. There is one in particular, My Mac right in the city. It is just opposite …
Immunity to Death
This has been the biggest break for me, after putting up my first post on this space. I was nearly ready with a post, and then the Mumbai attacks happened. There were so many things to be said, but at the same time I didn’t want to say a thing. There were so many things …
Ayn Rand vs Dagny Taggart
There is this discussion I had in Orkut communities sometime back that turned out pretty interesting. The community discusses Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, and this was reason enough for me to be interested. Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged are among my all time favorites, and I have recommended the book to a lot of friends. This …
