UNIX devil behind nice UI

Recently I had started using Mac Power G5 in my college. I did not like the Macs before because of their limited number of software and a different UI. But now I feel that the UI provided in Mac is state of the art and really intitutive.

Its almost a week now that I have started using these machines. The UI is really astounding!!

And the easy of use is also great...Installing an Application just drag its image in the Applications folder and you are done...not those long installing dialogs like in Windows.

But wait...is it the only reason I liked Mac?
Well no, I could do almost every task I can do in Linux in a Mac. (Well I dont have access to an X Server in Mac or could not configure it...so could not do my Assignment nicely)

But surely Mac is one nice system.

Flock!!

I just got a message from Nishit, Flock has been released!!

And here it is...I am testing the first version of flock blog posting.

Let's c how it works!!

Yeah it works cool.

Nice work from the Flock people.

Thanks Nishit for informing me.

Getting Googled!!

Well this is the second month of being googled!!

Since I joined USC and put up my page I am listed at the result of the first query.

And even more strange...my original "geocities.com" website is still ranked among the top ones. It is ranked 15th list. Something I really did not expect before.

Hope I do meet my expectation and continue the rank.

Google Launches Google Reader at Web 2.0

Google Launches Google Reader at Web 2.0: "Darren writes 'Google Reader, an online RSS reader, is currently being demo'd at the Web 2.0 conference. It apparently 'makes it easier to keep up with your ever-expanding reading list of content from across the web.' Here's the tour about how it works.'"

Edited Later:
I posted this into my personal group. Instantly I got a reply from Nishit..."Even bloglines gives this functionality".

I had a look at Bloglines and got addicted to it. It's similar to my favourite Sage extension of Mozilla.

I feel that Google and Microsoft should come out with something like that which is more intutive. And also not to forget Bloglines capacity to store old news.

Google has a nice engine in Google News. I really like that, but it does not make sense in a lot of area as it does not provide additional functionality like Bloglines.

I'll prefer going through one page for my news instead of looking at five different sites!
