Technology Alone Is Not Enough
From the title of this post, you could be forgiven for thinking that it is about Steve Jobs. It isn’t. It’s about me.
“Why are you so quiet?”
A number of people are pinging me, asking me why I went silent during the iPhone 4S launch, and since. The answer is quite evident if you watch the video of the keynote – the stiff faces, the absolute out-of-character subdued atmosphere of the Apple team… They knew.

Here’s to the crazy one…

Yesterday
Back in December 2010, I wrote that we were ending our 10 year old event – FOSS.IN – and I promised that I would write more after FOSS.IN/2010 was over. Here we go.

People who were following the old ID now automatically follow the new ID, so there is nothing you need to do, except to remember to write “@AtulChitnis” (upper/lower case does not matter) instead of “@achitnis” when sending me a message on Twitter.
