I used to rush downstairs to the coffee shop in my previous job when I positively had to concentrate for 2 hours max.

Darn! Can't afford to read this article now. Want to bookmark it. Can't make up my mind between Instapaper and Read It Later.

Google Translate... crappy at times yet amazing nonetheless. Best of all: free!

I'm in sales in the professional services sector. It never stops to amaze me; prospective client after prospective: they all get impressed with this BS-speak. Sad but true.

You have those in the US!! Jeezz... is there something you can't have? Hands down I've had my best afterhour meals in street stands in Mexico.

@Micho: I stand corrected. There's one move that moved me almost to tears: Taare Zameen Par.

@atrus123: I'm a Westerner that lived in India 3 years: loved the people, loved the food, loved the music. As far as movies: couldn't stand them more than 5 minutes (particularly the Hollywood rip offs).

What's chicory?

@limitless.opportunity: The weigh is there. I can see it when it tips down. Offered little against a full size brick.

Back when I was working in India as an expat I once received a call from an Airtel employee I spoke with the day before to file a complaint. Supposedly he was calling to check on things and later said he was actually off duty and calling from his personal phone; he wanted to make friends and what not. I thanked him…

@my name is jonas: I think you nailed it. Most likely that's what's going on.

Fast forward 50 years. Grandson: "grampa, what was about those cheap brittle plastic containers that made them so popular in your days??!".

@cadenlaguna: Thanks! I'll give it a try.

@Unionhawk: I kind of agree, particularly with fictional works. That said, some popular non-fiction books are very good (as in readable, enlightening, quirky, great weekend reads, etc.). I guess it's like movies, music, etc.... though uncommon, popular does not absolutely necessarily equal crap.

What? No love for Mac users?

@macrumpton: I like Miro... particularly to automatically download content from users I follow in YouTube. That said, it's a memory hog.

I bet these are actually mass produced by famished kids in Vietnam or Bangladesh.

@KamWrex: I hear you. I've been looking for ages for a non-branded alternative with comparable paper quality, size, etc. and return back to Moleskine. The closest I've been able to find is this (in India, though).

@wild homes loves you but chooses darkness!: Haha... I agree... if he had a daytime cooking show I would watch him everyday.

Has anyone managed to get FB4NDS (Facebook for DS) or Beup (MSN Messenger) to work?
