Staci Kramer interviewed the CEO of Turner Broadcasting (who, among other things, said stuff like not watching ads is theft). Staci traces how news of this spread through the Internet into sites like top 10 copyright crimes and “But Daddy I need to go”.
The Economist Technology Quarterly. Great tech news, a little infrequent though. (Thanks, Markose!)

No, I haven’t stopped updating because I wanted my Google entry to be on top for a long time. It’s just that the web is boring, and my life has become interesting otherwise. Read more in Mumbai. I’m in Delhi these days, so I hope to add a Delhi chapter as well.
Realistic lateral thinking puzzles.
Never thought the day would come when the Google query S Anand would throw up my name first. Probably won’t last…
