windows 7 – quirks, quips and quarks

why you should never buy an HP laptop of any kind ever
Once upon a time I bought a laptop. [I know that start is not as great as 'Many many years ago, on a galaxy far far away..' but you can pretend those words appear on the line above if they mean that much to you.] Anyway. A laptop. An HP dv2500t. Yes,...

the iphone in india ? really ?

firefox will always kick ass !
based on the release notes for the latest beta of firefox, all i can say is: wow. i’m blown away, and then some. how something like IE8 even hopes to compete, i don’t know. safari is always a boo-hoo, and opera, i’m sorry to say can...
