Walkman v iPod: A 13 year old boy's verdict http://bit.ly/UZ497 (Makes me feel ancient)

RT @udupendra: http://tinyurl.com/l89vuj - Nice analysis of the comic book industry (hat tip @gkjohn)

RT @uvfan: Awesome destinations! :) http://bit.ly/1kCcZI

RT @jeresig The Netflix Grand Prize % has been breached: http://bit.ly/12QDMz The top 3(4) teams merged to create one winning solution.
[The new team, BellKor's Pragmatic Chaos - http://bit.ly/11LnVb]

ROTFL. I think I might have seen a few such people http://abstrusegoose.com/43
[I compulsively hover my mouse over any webcomic I encounter. Damn you, xkcd! :-)]

RT @aadisht: Colour photography in early 20th century Russia: http://is.gd/1byvy

A bit disappointing that Intel's ad uses an actor to play Ajay Bhatt - http://tinyurl.com/qspjl9 (via @prempanicker : http://bit.ly/Qyf7f)

Jumbo welcome for Aditi's new employees *ahem* - http://bit.ly/6cW5O [YouTube]

Internet ©rapshoot: How Internet Gatekeepers Stifle Progress - http://bit.ly/MZiDZ

Erik Naggum (1965-2009) http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ErikNaggum (Check out the flame war links. Vitriolic falls short for describing them)

"You can't judge a book by its movie", "Dyslexics have more fnu" and more - http://bit.ly/16ZnGs

Raises the URL shortening grouse I have always had with Twitter - http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001276.html
[I wish Twitter would allow hyperlinks. These shortened URLs are such a pain. After opening a few, I don't know who tweeted what.]

RT @venusatuluri: Why you (not) sleep with Mother Teresa? http://bit.ly/LjPCv

Why did MSD feel the heat/lose his cool at the post-match conference? Because there was no Orient PSPO fan in the hall.

Sounds like extended EAMCET with national scope. What say @venusatuluri? - http://bit.ly/Dzh6D

Dhoni should probably carry Aircel Pocket Internet with him while batting too. Maybe then he can become Man of the Match ;-)

@chan2182 Sadly no - http://twitter.zendesk.com/forums/10711/entries/14016. Ideally I should have a public profile and msgs should be public by default with the option to tag msgs as private. delicious uses a similar model where you can mark links as 'Do Not Share'. Such a feature is long overdue on Twitter.
[In reply to the question: "When I reply to @someone who doesn't follow me, does @someone still see my tweet? Given that I've protected my updates from non-followers?"]

@uvfan Could be a recursive acronym too. Bing Is Not Google.
[In response to the question: Is Bing an acronym for "But It's Not Google"?]

Ideal search result for Google on Bing: "Google not found. Did you mean 'googol'?

Q: Connect Al Gore to Superman A: http://bit.ly/b5NO0
