But won't it work better in case one has just a couple of candidates to deal with. Pick 10 from 100 as per their regular boring format resume, then use these kind of detailed profiles to pick 3-4 to call in for an interview.


I don't really think so, but I guess it's possible. The reason I don't think so is that this thing is much harder to read than plain text, and I have to spend time figuring out how to read it.

Chances are, if I like someone's resume, it's time to talk to them on the phone, not read a secondary resume that's in a weird format.


Yet they scraped it and moved on to Tizen[1]. While it's good that Tizen is linux based and open source, abandoning a perfectly good os(Bada)just in 2 years might not go well with it's app developers. They(devs) might think twice before developing for tizen now. Although Samsung seems to be planning to make bada open, I doubt it will get the same traction now. [1]https://www.tizen.org


Bada is not a complete OS. It's an application environment that can sit on top of multiple kernels (I am quite sure a friend of mine had one with Linux - or something with version 2.6.xx but Wikipedia says no such phone ever existed). Tizen bundles a Linux kernel and looks more like a full OS.


Bada apps will be able to run on Samsung's version of Tizen, so Samsung is dropping Bada in a fashion similar to how Apple dropped OS9.


Or for that matter Windows Phone 7 and 8.


Oh, good to know. It will be interesting to know how they do so with Bada being rtos.


Only reasons I do use AdBlock, Saves bandwidth, data plans are expensive out here. Also ads that expand/play music or video directly - are annoying. I don't mind plain and simple ads. AdBlock beta has an option to allow non-intrusive ads, I do keep it on. Infact it would be great if there were some sort of guidelines (adblock checklist if I may call it so) which marketers can follow and pass adblock if this option is on.


That "white list" already exists and comes ON by default on Firefox's AdBlock.



31-10-11 is no different than what yesterday was or tomorrow will be. A successful childbirth is ALWAYS a Happy Occasion ! It might be a reminder but nothing more than that. it's not the child's fault he/she was born this day .


I'm really looking forward to something like a cheaper variant of DX to come along. Technical books don't render well on 6 inch screen and I can't get myself to shell out a notebook's price for current DX.


Would suggest to go through these - really helpful

All the design changes since the launch of G+ could use some decrease in padding imo . In netbooks the real content will start halfway across the screen - lot of unnecessary scrolling, looks good though .


The killer for me is this: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo0ebqK4bl1qzasmo.png

On Google Music, the actual music has good padding, but the rest of the page has so much crap I can barely see any songs. And that's on a 1366*768 display, so I'm a bit miffed.


An option to select from 2 settings would be better , like Gmail's new themes - dense/regular , although dense is still too spaced when compared to the default theme at the moment .


I'm worried we'll lose the look and feel of the old themes once the new Gmail interface is rolled out. I dislike the Big Blue Button that is showing up in all of Google's UI refreshes too. Google's search results seem very cluttered as well.


On the other hand, the desktop interfaces can now be used on a Xoom or Galaxy Tab or iPad without having to zoom in to hit the right link.
