Buy, Steal or ...
Dec 14, 2012 |
So, for users of “absolutely free” programs (I mean most Russian-speaking users who’ve never bought a single program) it doesn’t really matter what license, how much the program costs, etc. small stuff. I myself was recently like that, so I’ll be the last to throw a stone at “pirates”.

Very Strange Attack Through WP
Dec 13, 2012 |
Here I had something strange happen. If you’re aware, my service uKeeper receives a lot of letters from users, well just very many. And sends a lot too, but now we’re talking specifically about receiving. So, I was thinking about all kinds of different mechanisms to counter possible abuse, and a lot of such things are implemented there.

New Zite. Should We Celebrate?
Dec 05, 2012 |
Yesterday I suddenly discovered a new “eyed” icon in my iPad Mini toolbar. Yes, it’s the update of my favorite news reader and the best personalized digital newspaper. I’m extremely subjective in this assessment, since Zite is one of those apps I start my day with, where I find new and interesting stuff, and about 70% of all topics for Radio-T come to you precisely from Zite.

So That's What You're Like, America
Jul 11, 2011 |
My two-week absence (and, unfortunately, the server being almost two weeks down) is explained by my trip to America. In general, I went visiting, on vacation. And characteristically, this is my first visit to the United States of North America. Which means you’ll definitely get fresh and unclouded impressions from me.

We Don't Have This, and We Don't Have That
May 30, 2011 |
In response to my tweet, a noticeable amount of most curious comments came. By the way, here it is, the original tweet:

Feb 17, 2010 |
This document reflects the purely subjective opinion of me, a podcaster and podcast listener with 5 years of experience and 400 recorded podcasts. Brevity of presentation is chosen deliberately and allows hope that you won’t get tired while absorbing all this and maybe even read to the end.
