I find myself using the new facebook messages more and more owing to just these points highlighted and I’m a die hard gmail fan.
The simplicity is worth it.

Great article on the brewing brouhaha of e 2011 iOS VS android. That said, don’t necessarily agree that the “big company” Google is evil or that they are the new Microsoft.
But still, a great view point well articulated.

That statement captures the essence of good VS bad places to work for, as far as a developer is concerned. And unfortunately, it’s something that every startup in India must steadfastly focus on.

Hivelogic - Top 10 Programming Fonts →
If you’re anywhere close to a font geek as I am, this link will be a valuable resource. While the author dies specifically call them out as programming fonts, I find them to be very useful to set these as my plain text fonts in email, browser as well as note taking app.
Have to try these out soon.

Why 2011 isn’t 1995 for Apple →
Android VS iOS - the fight gets meaner, and more meaningful next year. Mobile devices are truly coming to the forefront. However, there are multiple war grounds - hand held devices (phones being a subset), tablets and netbooks.
There is also another arena where companies are gearing their arsenal - the fight for our living room.

This is a terrible article. First off, the argument that single purpose eBook readers are dying is flawed. Just by a month’s data you cannot determine the end result.
Second, the end result is positive as long as both businesses are making strong earnings. Even if the devices die, that doesn’t mean that the company has lost.
Coming to the part of bookstores and the competition and...
