WTF! LOL!
I won’t lie like everyone else on that congratulations thread and say it is well deserved or anything though.
Lie? Well I still say he deserved it though I never expected it
I haven't seen him abusing or getting personal in any thread. Being an old member with clean record, he deserves to be a mod.As you said, even I want him to see him telling people to behave & stop OS wars.

+1 for the "crappy looking" part. Goobi instead of having the background green and the apple white, make it the other way around. A green apple would be nicer cause those things do exist in reality.

Of course he deserves it! He was never banned and never broke rules. Congrats!Lie? Well I still say he deserved it though I never expected it

But I'm really surprised you changed your avatar. No offense, it looks really ugly.

LOL! A discussion about avatars. We really don’t have much to talk about on some days.
Now that I’m using .Mac, I just can’t wait for MobileMe and its spiffy web applications to come along. One thing that .Mac really needs right now is the ability to set filters in the web interface itself, so I can separate my work related emails from the random crap people send me all the time (read hardly ever).
----------------
Like I’d (intelligently) speculated before, original iPhones are not just holding their value, they’re actually turning out a small profit for sellers right now. Not only that, that profit margin is bound to increase as the stock of first generation iPhone sellers dwindles.
Just something to give the likes of Preshit, goobiMod and me a sense of security about our purchase, in case the iPhone 3G does have awesome battery life and much better speakers.

It’s a bit (yeah, right) off-topic, but here’s the late George Karlin at his best.

Hey, I don’t mind the extra publicity at all. And it doesn’t really look good on the list, with those huge images ruining the layout.
The profile thing is a bust anyway because people keep leaving this place. Right now, for example, only Milind, Preshit and I seem to be the active Mac users in this thread. Where are the others—Azeem, Dinesh, Mehul and Sunny?

Why don't we open a poll?
Put it in the chit chat part of thinkdigit?
Then we can see whether we should keep it or not?
I created the poll and the thread

I hope everyone here will vote

Guys. The avatar is only temporary, as a joke. I certainly don't want to put you through the torture of seeing that bright green all over the place
As for the profiles, not sure how useful they are to work on them so much. To me they seem just fine.
@aayush: You watch George Carlin? Doesn't (didn't?) he like break all your rules of decency?

Vodafone opens to iPhone preorders.
On second thought: Leave the profiles as they are. Too many images will screw the whole thing.
Goobi: The new avatar, needles to say, looks good.

I don’t. I just watched this video since John Gruber linked to it and it didn’t have any of his trademark cussing and was one of the funniest standup comedy acts I’d ever seen, so I pointed it out to you guys.
Given that it was designed by someone at Apple, that’s not too surprising.*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/image.php?u=2153&dateline=1214343351 => Awesome!

Heyy I am back! I was busy cracking deals for iPhone. Looked at 2 iPhones from HYD guys, not older than 4 months, but I was not convinced to buy from them. Finally getting an iPhone in August from Dubai
Congrats to Goobimama, and now that you go green, do we get the F-word as a free gift

Oh. I thought Goobi designed it himself. I was even considering asking him to make one of for me too.

Oh, make no mistake, Milind I'd quite capable of designing stuff like that himself. I was merely pointing out that the exact specimen on display here isn't his creation.

You've gotta hand it to Manan. When it comes to non Apple related advice, he really shines. I'd (politely) disregarded him when he'd advised me to for an HDTV instead of a computer display but I'm beginning to rethink my decision now. I walked into a Sony showroom today and asked them whether they had any 24-inch LCD displays and he told me that Sony didn't make displays for computers. However, he showed me a 26-inch BRAVIA TV that's just a few thousand bucks more expensive than the HP 24-incher I was considering and seems to be much better for movie watching and games.
The only question is: Will it do a decent job as a display for my MacBook Pro when surfing the Internet and stuff? If I buy the TV instead of the LCD monitor, I'll install in the house and have the iMac stationed in the office. I get to use my space age Mac all day long and watch movies on a high definition TV on weekends. Sounds like a good plan?
If yes, anyone care to suggest a few good 26-inch displays? Which company makes them better -- Samsung or Sony?
Thanks, iMav, for the sage advice!

Is there an app that simply downloads youtube videos and doesn't care to convert it ??
I've tried Tooble, Tubesock, Youtube Video Grabber, Tube TV, PodTube etc... all are hell bent on converting the videos and there seems to be no setting that prevents them from convertion

The Samsungs usually have great designs and have good performance and are cheaper. Sony on the other hand prefer a more laid-back approach in their designs and are a bit expensive. But when it comes to pure performance, Sony really shines and outperforms the Samsungs. They have minimal features, only those which are really required. Also no one pays more attention to stuff like build quality, remote design and on-screen menu the way Sony does. These things are built like a tank and can probably out-last the owner. I'd suggest you go with the Sony.
