via Google Operating System by Ionut Alex Chitu on March 03, 2008
Gmail has a very cool feature not available in other webmail applications: feeds for unread messages.

via Lifehacker by Kevin Purdy on February 15, 2008
The best way to speed up your PC is to give it more available memory—but freeing up as much of the memory you already have is cheaper and easier than cracking open your case to install a new stick of RAM.

via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger by Robert Scoble on January 23, 2008

It was far worse than what we’ve seen so far in the economic turmoil of 2008. It seemed like EVERYONE was laid off. There was even a Website, fuckedcompany.com, that tracked layoff after layoff.
