Idle/Random/whatever Thoughts of a Demented/Idle/Whatever Mind

I have been a big fan of Google Reader even since it was launched. Its a cool application for news reading if you really love the gmail interface. Anyways some time back Google guys updated it. And from then I can see this awesome bug(Click on the image to see full sized one). Well actually what happened was that I had left google reader open for some time. Later when I came and finished what all was there and marking the uninteresting ones as read, I saw this popup. I had some 39 items only open(Look at the text bound by green lines at the bottom right of the image) but when I said Mark All as Read, I wanted to mark all 557 item(Not in the pane but updated ones) as read.Boy I got frustrated at this point. But I said Cancel, Refreshed the whole page and went through all those news which I did not find interesting enough to read. Finally I did Mark All as Read. Later I realised that even if I had done OK instead of Cancel, it would have worked and only those 39 items would have had b...

Dear Google, I have my blog at http://the100rabh.blogspot.com as you can see ;-). I was looking into Google Webmaster Sitemaps .

The main page link was this https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/externallinks?siteUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fthe100rabh.blogspot.com%2F&hl=en&bplink=http%3A%2F%2Fthe100rabh.blogspot.com%2F&sort=allsubdomain&num=100 The next link was this https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/externallinks?siteUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fthe100rabh.blogspot.com%2F&hl=en&sort=allsubdomain&view=&bplink=&num=100&bpmark=100,0,100,0,0&fwd=true It was frustrating to see that clicking on the next link I went to the main inlinks page. For the time being I found solution as this https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/externallinks?siteUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fthe100rabh.blogspot.com%2F&hl=en&bplink=http%3A%2F%2Fthe100rabh.blogspot.com%2F&sort=allsubdomain...

You might have heard of an old joke called Is Windows a Virus? If not then let me refresh your mind No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do: They replicate quickly - okay, Windows does that. Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so - okay, Windows does that. Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk - okay, Windows does that too. Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems. Sigh... Windows does that, too. Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. Yup, that's with Windows, too. Until now it seems Windows is a virus...but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature. So Windows is not a virus. It's a bug. A sim...
