Sure, it’s a mistake to romanticize all this any more than is strictly necessary. Web 2.0 harnesses the stupidity of crowds as well as its wisdom.

I’ve been using [tag]Opera[/tag] lately and noticed that for certain sites (like deviantArt, PhotoMalaysia and Maybank2U), it can load the page almost rapidly, while [tag]Firefox[/tag] 2.0 takes a while to load it. I’m left with some pondering on why such phenomenon happens. It is no doubt that Opera have one of the fastest rendering engine [...]

Note: This post is a little back-dated. It was in my draft for a while and I didn’t have time to finish it then. On Oct 27th (that is around a few days after Raya or Eid ul-Fitr), me and Shiro planned to meet one of our ‘colleague’ (the quote marks because we consider him [...]

Recently, [tag]Adobe[/tag] rolled out a new [tag]color-scheme[/tag] [tag]application[/tag] called ‘[tag]Kuler[/tag]‘. Flickr! Page As with most [tag]web[/tag]-based [...]

I’m tired of my Green Theme for now, and I’m not motivated in any way to make myself a new one. I’m sick of the old blue one as well. So after a random browsing through tons and tons of WordPress themes out there, I find that durable fits my taste. This theme interferes with [...]

Sorry if lately my posts have been cheesy, lame and far less entertaining (well, not like the others are entertaining anyways :p). So after watching episode 1 of Kanon 2006 (thanks Shiro!), I come up with this short clip. Yes I know it is old, but I like it!: If you feel like flaming or [...]
