Is the market fairly valued?

The market took a decent dive today because of all the unrest in the Middle East, the continuing drop in housing prices, and such. But what does it all really mean, is the stock market too high and this is a simple correction, or is the market being unfairly punished? I ran a simple PE

CR-48 (Google Chrome Netbook) Review

As I mentioned in my previous post, I recently received a ChromeOS Netbook from Google. I’ve been using this netbook along with my laptop since then, and here’s a quick review of it so far. I haven’t used all the features yet, but should be able to provide an overview for now.

Google Chrome OS Netbook

Google started their Chrome OS Netbook pilot program recently. I came home today to a box sitting outside my door that I didn’t remember ordering. I open it up carefully (never know what could have been in there…) and there it is… my very own Google ChromeOS Netbook. I’ll be posting about it soon!

Facebook Pictures – Update

So, what do you know… Facebook seems to have gotten much better on deleting pictures from its servers lately. The pictures that I deleted two weeks ago are all gone now. I had saved links to a bunch of pictures and the direct link isn’t working anymore. But I could be a cynic and say

Goodbye Facebook – an Update

In case you haven’t seen it yet, Facebook is rolling out a new feature that lets you see your Friendship with another person. You can see all the pictures that both of you are tagged in, wall posts on each others’ walls, common event RSVP and so on. This is actually a really cool feature,

Google Search

I’ve updated the Search engine on my blog. I’m no longer using the default WordPress search engine, rather I’m using Google’s search engine (Adsense for Search). I’m hoping Google is able to do a better job indexing and searching my site to provide better results to all the users. Next update will be after this

An Update…

I know, I know, I’ve been terrible in updating this blog; not that this counts as an excuse, but I’ve been busy with classes at Stern and work. But I just got back from the Langone Retreat this weekend, and it was a blast. I’m going to update this blog more often (I hope).

Ni Soniye

I’ve been listening to more random music on my iPod lately, and this song came up. It’s the acoustic version of Ni Soniye and sounds awesome (the normal version is good also). I’ve listened to a bunch of times on the way home today, and thought I’d share it with people, and thanks to the

Ads

I’ve installed Google Adsense on this blog. Hopefully, I’ll generate some money out of it…
