@ankurb I suppose the extended fight scenes would not be as boring if it was in 3D …
@ankurb Needs a weighted answer; later. And the movie is retardedly slow; don’t think 3D matters when it’s mind numbingly boring.
@AceyTech Yes.
@ankurb you know my standards of liking movies. Using that as a yardstick, when I say it’s bad …
So apparently @codelust is quite the like-aholic. Almost makes me feel bad for having such high standards of like-ability.
@Naina Apple “technician” trying to set up Expresses around the house; failing at it after 2 hours and now on the phone with his “boss”.
Last time I’m letting someone else set up something for me. Last. Fucking. Time.
Airport Express box still uses the old MacBook Pro’s picture: http://cl.ly/82Kw
Social is not about the presence but the experience of doing things with people.
@Naina y u no understand memes?
@Naina ujelly?
@AceyTech if you saw the first two for MF, you should definitely see this one. The girl’s better.
@necrosed Michael Bay has a gift.
@SwaroopH I wasn’t expecting anything. I’m not disappointed; it was a decent way to kill a couple of hours. But Michael Bay needs to stop.
Transformers 3. Bad movie was bad. Nothing more to say.
@Naina depends on if you place class above money or vice versa.
#realisation I begin to feel lost when the number of people reaches a point that I can’t hear my own voice.
If Google+ was given to a Mac designer, was Search given to a Windows designer? #whothoughtthislookedgood
So I was told last night that I look like someone fresh out of high school. I don’t know if that’s a good or a bad thing.
@stealingsand Lol, no. A friend of mine was, so I know some stuff.
Holy noodles. Federer is out! #wimbledone
What’s with Google and IFRAMEs?
@stealingsand Awesome.
@stealingsand I didn’t recognise that—not a Cranberries guy. But you should make a list like that. It’ll be fun to go through them all :P
This is one heck of a list ~ Copied Hindi Songs: http://t.co/5DxHyjI /cc @stealingsand
@stealingsand NVM! Here you go: http://t.co/O7PeB6N
@stealingsand I want a link as bad you; it’s pretty old (like early 90s) and a little hard to find.
Did you know there’s a Hindi version of “Faith” by George Michael? #wtfoftheday
@Naina That’s too bad, cuz you know, I brought rains.
If you haven’t seen this … http://t.co/poUhbAH
Some pages have a popup window set to … pop up … on window.onfocus.
I’m not kidding.
Why is everyone around me trying to get a visa?
Does it annoy anyone else to not know why something IS working?
@codelust Heh. I used it completely wrong, but the sound of the word fit in that sentence.
Can anyone tell me why my ‘tabstop’ was set to 8?
After close to 11-12 (?) yrs on the Internet, that’s (http://t.co/Xq1EOcm) what my conclusion is. Internet is best used as an aggregator.
@codelust Just bc newfags have diluted the meaning of social to superficial levels, doesn’t make the Internet social. Not social = asocial.
The Internet is inherently asocial. Anything you build for it, no matter how hard you try, will be as asocial.
@codelust I’ll probably be leaving by then …
@codelust « remains as broken and un-integrated with how we really use the web. Nobody on the web ‘gets’ social. Believe me.
@codelust I don’t think it’s just that. I’m used to ghost towns. Thing is Google hasn’t done anything new here. Act of sharing/consuming »
@codelust Isn’t really much to say at this point. I just have @singpolyma on there & posting stuff is as painful as it was on FB. Silos ftw.
“Only time will tell” is probably one of the most annoying cliches on Earth. No shit sherlock!
I can’t invite people in Google+; they’ll get it when they get it. I can add them to circles and they’ll get e-mails about stuff I’ve shared
rands A cymbal @ 1,000 frames a second: http://t.co/svoGhan
@Naina Oh yeah; I forgot that. Makes sense now.
@Naina Very odd set of dimensions. This page too says otherwise: http://t.co/KIsgQGp Those numbers make it practically a square :/
@Naina Moment of derp. I think it looks pretty nice. http://t.co/dB0Hr7t
@Naina I don’t know why you called it “googlenexuswalls”. These are perfectly good iPhone wallpapers as well.
@Naina In fact (and this is just fucking weird) this tweet from @rands explains it amazingly: http://t.co/GHxVwhF
@Naina I didn’t say “not art”. I said it’s not really about creativity. Creativity by definition means creating; photography isn’t creating.
@Naina musicians are creative; instrumentalists don’t necessarily have to be. Photography is more of right-place-right-time than creativity.
@Naina it’s like playing an instrument. It doesn’t make you a musician; you’re an instrumentalist.
@Naina non-creative art.
I’m going to rock the boat here and say this: #Photography is an art, but not a creative one.
Twitter gone wild.
I’ll never look at CSS the same way again. #lessjs
It’s not hot enough for something cold, or cold enough for something hot. #weathermetaphorforlife
Keep reading “oath” as “oauth”.
Rains! #gg
yuvipanda “How to stop your child from becoming an atheist” http://yuvi.in/blog/what…
@remz At least french is a much easier language on the eyes.
Cars behind cars for an hour and a half. Possibly the most boring sport on TV now. #f1
At Dakshin. At our usual table.
@Naina I disagree then. I have an issue with both; but at least we know that people are dumb™ and cut them some slack.
@Naina So your gripe isn’t with the faith healer, but the people who go to him to get healed?
@Naina It just annoys me when things claim to teach us about people.
@Naina Because a book can totally tell you what you need to know about people. ? @andyrutledge
A lot of people playing “Paranoid Android” ~ http://cl.ly/7vh2
@Naina I’m telling you na …
@Naina Apparently Aditya is a very popular Indonesian name. And Indonesians are very, very dumb.
« It does get very hard on some days though, when I just want to get a different handle.
The only reason I put up with so much Indonesian spam is because I have a Twitter handle a lot of people want, but can’t have. »
@xAbhishek Interesting.

@xAbhishek How are they limiting it?

@AceyTech I suppose. But I do think the hardest part about moving is all the people/relationships one is leaving behind. Not the location.
It’s the people, not the place, that you get attached to.
O look. Another weekend is here.
God_Damn_Batman Being Knighted: elderly queen taps you with a sword. Being Dark Knighted: I crush your windpipe and you tell me where the drugs are.
@Naina And twitter.
Roddick vs. Lopez was such a “bandar naach” of a game. #wimbledon
A thousand words and counting.
@Naina I still don’t see how it helps to log this data. The power is still gone; you’re still feeling hot. @shefaly
@vimalg2 I don’t you’ve heard of India’s awesome 8.5% Internet penetration ؟
Woke up with my timeline full of @Naina. Tried to go back to my timeline thinking I was on her profile. #obligatorywomentalktoomuchtag
I wish this was an official poster for the movie ~ http://j.mp/khDYn9
So @iAWriter’s font is Nitti ~ http://j.mp/ikOQ6h.
@Naina we command things on a mac, not control. Why are the social media icons so important? Not like I need to know them.
dcurtis For each sock you buy, you need to get one extra for the inevitable sacrifice to the God of Laundry.
@Naina Yes, please do.
I thought I was done with this shit. I guess I’m not. http://img.ly/5odz
@bsthorn TIL what TIL means. Thank you, and you’re welcome.
If I see social media icons in your email signature, my fingers automatically move to Command, Shift and J.
@silvermoon82 I think a banged up car tells other people, “I’ve banged this car before, and I’m not scared to do it again.”, hence …
@artagnon The upvotes are for the way he answered it, not the answer itself.
Took the car out for a spin. Apparently the more banged up the car, the more confidence you drive it with after a hiatus.
@codelust O right. Well, thankfully Youtube comments don’t represent the collective intelligence of our race. Not yet at least.
@codelust JB … ?
Palsule Please read: RT @ngkabra: Blog post: Preventing child sexual abuse - What every Parent should know and do http://j.mp/lTZfwu
So I have this folder in Reeder called “Do-ers” that I completely avoid checking bc it makes me feel like shit for not being one of them.
I wonder the kind of future we’r headed into when I realise that this generation doesn’t even know who Frank Sinatra was, let alone his work
@Naina ah, people. Yeah, I don’t do people. You’re on your own with that.
@Naina It’s okay to turn Twitter off for a while. Nobody will hold it against you.
Bad workflows have a way of crapping on your face when you least want them to.
@AceyTech I’m still a Google-phobe when it comes to data, so …
@AceyTech Sigh. I meant “Mail” the app. Not mail in general. Admittedly I’m burned from Mail about 2 versions ago, giving it another go.
@burnflare Ugly.
@AceyTech “Mail sucks with IMAP” … ?
Don’t talk to me about IMAP. Mail sucks with IMAP, you know that.
I wish Mail transferred sent mail from iOS to Mac and vice-versa. There’s nothing like a fragmented conversation between devices.
But that’s my luck, isn’t it? Finally after — I think a whole year — understanding Git, they come out with a GUI.
Okay … this is awesome ~ Github for Mac: http://t.co/0XAV6uJ
@ankurb someday you’ll realise that while questioning the right things might drive you insane, questioning the wrong things truly will.
Dijkstra’s proposal of using 0 as the starting index in programming languages ~ cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/ewd0…
Blast from the past. I was crazy about this song in my piano playing days. http://t.co/MPJ8tLN
@Naina it’s not just opinions. It’s reactions as well (stuff like this: http://j.mp/lY3RKu), hence the “responses”.
Sister’s latest toy: http://img.ly/5lJ7
People’s response to my eccentricities (read: weirdness) is always amusing and a little interesting.
@iAWriter This could be fixed by a typewriter mode, but in case you want to fix it independently: http://t.co/58rIqxf
The world lives on the hope that something better will come along tomorrow. But what if it won’t? What if this is as good as it gets?
IM feels so 1999.
Man I miss this show: http://t.co/JAHw8TS
@madguy000 Someone who worships thought/thinking, and fights to make people think. I can’t define it any less dramatically.
It’s all about workflows.
@inkv Yeah.
Trying to give Alfred another shot. Third in 3 months, to be exact.
Somehow managed to miss this in the mess that was last two months ~ Don’t Go Raging Into The Night : http://t.co/tVHEUyP /via @codelust
@codelust I know you didn’t, or you would’ve pointed that out yourself =P
@codelust Funny thing is, there is no tracking as to what answer people give, *and* all links lead to the same place eventually.
thebetterindia @gulpanag http://ow.ly/5nsUk The Ugly Indian shows us the way by transforming Bangalore’s Church Street!
@Naina I’m known to obsess over inconsequential things. They drive me mad.
Switching to serif for the twitter picture.
Just read “affordable” as “adorable”.
Coffee, where art thou?
Today the house should become a complete pro-Apple zone. Down to the router.
There be much luls here ~ http://t.co/pe0LmrK

Wassup with the Buffy-esque font at Haldiram’s in Promenade? http://img.ly/5j7k
If you pay attention, you can clearly see a difference in the way a woman looks at a man and how she looks at jewellery.
At Promenade. New specs!
@ankurb they were good for two albums. Majority has been shitty. And there are no bands I currently listen to that I’m embarrassed abt.
@ankurb …because Linkin Park sucks?
The twitter app of the future won’t be an app. It’ll be a direct link to the mind—a uni-timeline feeding tweets directly to it.
Body coloured bumpers don’t say sporty. Hatchbacks should have an option of the dual tone.
String of bad jokes running through the mind as I look around at the cars on the street.
@ankurb I’ve always found Japanese a little strange, so yeah, sure.
@ankurb That’s … nice.
@ankurb How does one go “gorilla shit”?
This is amazing: http://t.co/Q3YBh1H
It’s creepy how much DFW and my way of thinking overlap. http://t.co/eErvhVt
The Indian tendency to use “also” and “only” at the *end* of sentences is so cringeworthy …
@Naina I just recovered from falling sick because of the heat. Whenever you have time, bolo.
If you’ve not greeted me on my return, toh #AapChutiyeHain.
Saw my website on an iPad for the first time since the redesign. Feeling proud on a job well done.
Is it just me or does Hrithik Roshan look a lot like Ryan Reynolds? #nevernoticedbefore
So our next car will be the Superb.
Lots of “if we were abroad” talk in the car today. #lol
@SwaroopH yes, because things like that are one off cases.
Exactly what I thought when I saw @gruber’s latter post ~ http://j.mp/jzopAw
I’m not going to fix it, but GG autocorrect. #previoustweet
“Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns it’s lonely eyes to you. Woo hoo hoo.”

“Why do we retweet master Bruce?” “So that we learn to pick our tweets up.”
The day I can wear a kurta and shorts and feel comfortable will be the day I’ll consider my life complete. #fashiontipsfromdad
@neophilic Imagine having to specially cater to less than 5-7% of the world’s population.
If you’re in your 20s and feel that your parents don’t understand you, and you can’t talk to them, you’re doing it wrong. Not them, you.
Vegetarians are the bane of this world.
@Naina ¬_¬
This morning’s headache courtesy of dehydration caused by the awesome Delhi heat.
@iAWriter In Writer Mac, it’d be great if the line currently being written is vertically centred (regardless of doc length) #request
@AceyTech I would argue that innovation inspires us to change.
Some bottles just weren’t meant to be drank from. #possiblemeaningoflife
A boring bio tells me you’re a non-creative person, regardless of how many things you put in there. I don’t like non-creatives.
Thought this break would be peaceful since there isn’t any construction work at home for once. Turns out the neighbours decided to renovate.
Everyday I see people executing my ideas ~ http://t.co/TNMBZIH #ggnore
The thing with ‘feel good’ is … if it worked, you wouldn’t need it.
Set of 6 ‘B’ Camlin drawing pencils: Rs. 30. Set of 6 ‘H’ Staedtler drawing pencils: Rs. 240. #lol
roll.io is pretty awesome. Get a beer and it’s like Hard Rock Café on the web ~ http://t.co/8vYqexU
“Progress is not linear, it’s logarithmic.” http://t.co/SWQqZEj
I envy children. Being able to look good in anything you wear is a gift rarely appreciated.
@AceyTech there is amusing, and then there is stupid. A meme that becomes a way of speech is hardly a meme.
At Chaubara (Galleria). Feels like my grandparents’ place, just 5 times more cliched.
@ankurb btw ~ http://img.ly/57WZ
@ankurb it wasn’t, but anyway.
umbro = u mad bro?
Eventually you’ll realise that black doesn’t say cool anymore.
Every time someone starts a new hashtag meme our IQ drops by 5. No it’s not fun; it’s just retarded.
Beginning my first sketch of the summer; warming up with a few basics ~ http://img.ly/56Cu
Not liking someone’s “tone” is a perfectly legit reason to not like someone. (read: you don’t have to like someone to respect them)
My version of John Mayer’s version of Free Fallin’ sounds like Circle of Life (Elton John). #fml #classicalssuck
@AceyTech I have a feeling our monitors are calibrated differently. Also, http://t.co/lOP6Pe6
@AceyTech I knew someone was going to harp on that. It’s not Orange, it’s Rust, but yeah, anyway …
Finally turned my profile red. Always wanted to do, never had the courage.
An introvert trying to understand being an extrovert is like a white guy trying to understand what it’s like to be black http://t.co/f6lSgMR
Dad is considering buying the iPad 2, and passing his iPad to me.
That’ll solve all my reading problems.
