What else can you do when you have setup your blog again, configured analytics and keep checking how many people arriving to your blog every day? Well, you got to create some time and write a new blog post. Becoming a full-time Ph.D student after recognizing in horror that I am wasting my time to an undeniable and scary deadline,

Today I have read a piece by Walt Mossberg on Windows 7. In the article Mossberg argues that Windows 7 is not as bad as its successor Windows Vista, but almost as good as Mac OS X 10.6 aka Snow Leopard. I am not sure about this.
