Smarter Aggregation


Intelli-Aggie (RSS Aggregator)

The most novel thing about Intelli-Aggie is that the system tries to adapt according to the reader’s reading preference, trying to show him/her more interesting and relevant news items first.

Will have to give a try once I get a chance. It is also in Perl so personal hackability rises.

Cringely on Outsourcing

Cringely has a good one on outsourcing IT to India and why Linux is chosen over OS X. Just a wondering thought for the decision makers, if you already have a hard time communicating with the current US IT workers how is moving to workers some 8-12 hours in timezone and to a whole different culture going to improve the communication problems?

Fair and Balanced

Since Fox is neither fair nor balanced, the notion that these people could have won a trademark on the expression — which they did — is mostly testament to the continuing incompetence at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. But Fox’s lawsuit is entirely testament to the arrogance of Murdoch’s minions and the growing idiocy of the legal system.


I commend Fox for all the hard work in promoting its unfair, unbalanced entertainment (calling it “news” is a bit much). It certainly is drawing an audience, and as a shill for the Bush White House it’s downright competent.

Way to go Dan Gillmor, on Fox sueing Al Frankin over his new book.
