Apple iPhone is arguably the best gadget of the year. From Apple’s point of view, a lot of things, including the company’s reputation and financial status depended on iPhone’s performance in a segment that Apple had never entered before - mobile phones.

iPhone was Apple’s biggest product launch for the past few years. Judging by the numbers who waited in queues in front of Apple stores across the globe, iPhone’s launch eclipsed the launches of the original iPod, iMacs and probably Leopard.

Open Letter to the good folks at Mozilla:

Dear Mozilla team,
I hope you are having a good time screwing up Firefox. I have had Firefox 2.0.0.9 open with 19 tabs on, and current RAM consumption is ~192 MB. I do not have much qualms about memory usage because I have installed memory of 2 GB. However, any time I switch tab groups (via a tabgroups extension), Firefox just hangs up and CPU usage shoots up.

It has been some time since I had a site update, and I thought it would be the right time to unveil several things that have been around for quite a while. Several things have been breeding, and I am so excited that it is time to reveal!

I had recently participated in WritersManifesto Group Writing project, with my entry, How to add plugin function calls without breaking your theme. I am supposed to post my favourite entries, so here goes

1. Upgrading your theme to WP2.3 by Karthik.
2. How to get your favourite SU pages feed by Simonne.
3. How to find good ideas for blog posts by Aseem.

Hope you had a great time reading!

WordPress and Movable Type are the two most popular blogging software around. WordPress was the forte of enthusiasts and wily bloggers, whereas professionals and serious bloggers endorsed Movable Type. Times have changed, and WordPress is endorsed by bloggers worldwide, including professional bloggers.

Setup and Installation

WordPress is much easier to install. The trickiest part is setting up the MySQL database, and the instructions do a good job explaining that. Movable Type has a much better exporting system, which ironically makes it a lot easier to move from MT to WP than vice-versa.
