Amazing Ubuntu Linux themes, Icons & Walls to give your desktop a Fresh Look!
Filed under Linux
I couldn’t stand using Windows 7 because of the reasons stated here (which I installed because of photoshop in the first place) any longer, I am sick of adobe for being so bloated and dumped photoshop for Inkscape and Gimp which I have come to love.

I have been a linux user for quite some time and I loved my stay, although I needed photoshop and had to shift back to Windows (cs2 didn’t work with either crossover or wine on linux for me). Since I dont really like Xp and Vista after using Ubuntu, I decided to give Windows 7 a try.

Filed under Opinion
Microsoft has started to do some actual work which might do some serious damage to Linux. Windows 7 is coming out with some pretty impressive stuff and I am pretty inclined to try the beta out.

Whats wrong with this button in Google reader
Filed under Opinion
Every time I decide to subscribe to a blog I have to go through the most unintuitive page ever.
When a user finds a blog he wants to subscribe, and if he uses google reader to do so, he will be asked whether he wants to add it to “google reader” or the “google homepage”. They dont give you an option to save you selection. So a user who only uses google reader will have to go through this page every time before he gets to the reader. In my opinion, they should provide the option to save where they want to add the feed.
First of all, where did they get the button from!!
