This was the title page of last weeks Economist dated April 16-22 2005

It’s a marked change from its history as contextual text ad giant. Publishers can opt in or out of this program if they choose. Explaining [...]
Help Page for GMail Clips Available, unlike the Feature for Most.
Google added a Help page for Gmail Clips, the presumably upcoming feature that will work RSS and Atom feeds into the Gmail display.
But for most (like me) the feature is still to be a reality, only a blessed few have this feature.
Enabling Clips happens in the Settings area for the chosen few (actually, the [...]

An interesting read here ….
There have many concerns and question about the template system used in WordPress.
Mostly the concerns are with n00bs and the complications of PHP. “I want to change this and that, but don’t know PHP�.

Rolex or Replica?? Don’t get E-Screwed!!
Many people are buying and selling Rolex and other fine timepieces over the internet. Most are honest people representing their product correctly. However, some are either intentionally or unintentionally representing their watches as something they are not.

Lighter Side of the Papal Nomaination
This comic appeared in the latest US News & World Report May 2nd 2005
White Smoke Black Smoke
This is indeed a very ‘late news flash’ but I had to get this out of my system. The election of the 264th Pope Benedict XVI, Cardinal Ratzinger also known as Cardinal No. I sincerely wish him a strong and healthy leadership as he has big shoes to fill left by John Paul II. [...]
Review of Pakistani Bloggers
It is my sound belief that more exposure is needed to bring our local talent of Pakistani Blogger into the International limelite. Not that they arent already making waves, but more exposure can’t hurt. Linkbacks etc do help support the blog but nothing would beat a review which might actually try [...]

Mr. 10% returns to Pakistan
It is surprising that Asif Ali Zardari is due to get a hero’s welcome when he lands in Lahore on Saturday 16th. I still can’t stomach the idea that he was released and all charges against him were dropped. He now has a smirk on his face saying he is innocent, famously [...]
Pakistan Clobbers India in 5th One Day
For all Pakistani supporters it was a delight to see Afridi lighten up the skies in India with his 102 runs off 45 balls. His blazing innings was the founding stone for a certain win and the run chase was then more of a formality for the rest of the batting line-up to nail [...]

A Project worth Supporting
Poverty breeds the evil in our society; it brings out beggars and also the thieves out onto the streets to survive. Thatta Kedona (Village Dolls) is an organization which I feel is a remarkable achievement of a select few visionary individuals to be able to realize this problem and have come together to create change [...]
