However, every time I surf through various popular sources, IT portals, and so forth, around 30% of the posts are just trolling on some outdated topics:
- What’s the best Operating System?
- What’s cooler: Windows/Mac vs. Linux?
- China/Russia is an evil country: discussions about firewalls, rockets, nukes, and oil/democracy conflicts
- Opera Browser is rubbish or why do you like Firefox so much? What about IE7?
- Microsoft vs. Open-Source: they buy, we sell. Who’s true open-source and who’s not?!
So far, that’s what came to my mind. If you got other trolling topics to add, be my guest!

It’s time when I have to move from Del.icio.us and Google Bookmarks. Twitter Atom subscription gives quite good opportunity of tracking all the interesting things caught from Twitter on daily basis. A combination of GoogleReader and Twitter gives a nice service with:
- Tags and categories can be made in GReader.
- Accessing your bookmarks from phone by following Twitter updates.
- Encapsulated Google Search in GReader won’t give a chance to miss any information once it was tracked through RSS/Atom feeds.
- You can update your twits from phone/IM: fast and easy and clicking less.

After adding Personalized Google search in the sidebar, I didn’t have a chance to test my blog template with all web browsers.
Thus, I make apologize to 24% of j4vk blog visitors using IE6, Google searchbar screwed up the sidebar layout (which you could have found at the bottom of the site).
Now everything seems to be fine in IE6, IE7, Firefox 2.0.0.8, and Safari 3.
