Tumblr launches its long-awaited app for iPad
At long last, Tumblr has just pushed out an update to its iOS app which adds full compatibility with the iPad and iPad mini. Tumblr built for the big screen includes sleek sidebar navigation buttons, a new radial menu for composing posts, and of course “native” elements that make posts load a whole lot faster.
It looks really good!
Thanks to a tip from Favstar creator, Tim Haines, there’s a way to take a “scroll” down memory lane. Twitter used to have a “public timeline” that showed you all of the global tweets that were incoming. This was way before Bieber and those other punks joined, so it was somewhat easier to manage then. That link is still exposed and viewable, and it has the older design. (via Check Out The Old Twitter Public Timeline)
The second good find by The Next Web tonight.
(via The Joy of Tech comic... iPad is Neo.)
Loved this intro by Kevin C Tofel -
It’s not often you hear this, but: One of the most elegant apps for Android is now available on iOS.
Whoa! It was a known fact that Nokia is betting big on its Lumia Handsets to regain its foothold in India but this is simply crazy.
ETnow had aired an interview with Flipkart co-founder - Sachin Bansal in its Starting up program this week. While the majority of the information in this 13min long video is widely known, there were few bits of information which I found quite interesting:
Flipkart was initially meant to be a comparison engine but back then there were not a lot of e-commerce companies to compare.
Flipkart started with a consignment model but today 80% of the deliveries happen through warehouses.
Books has 20% profit margin which is much higher than other products. Hence they started with books.
Books now contribute to 50% of Flipkart's revenue followed by Electronics.
Flipkart currently has 1.5 million customers with 70% repeat rate.
Digital Music Store launching in the next couple of months. It will offer streaming music as well as paid downloads.
The company is expected to surpass 500 Crore Revenue by March 2012.
46 seconds on life from Steve Jobs.
Amazing 4D projections and deadmau5 Music to celebrate the launch of the Nokia Lumia 800 in UK.
Wish something similar happened in India as well :D
So Wikipedia has started using local currencies for donations now? Interesting!
Advertising from electronic retailing portals surged 228% on television, 78% in print and 797% on radio compared to the same period last year

Simply Wow! Further Flipkart has apparently marked Rs 100 crore as its advertising budget.
Success depends on what the brands wanted out of the tie-up. If their objective was to get on to the entertainment space, then they have achieved it well. If their objective was to generate brand recall and create brand visibility, then they have failed miserably
- Was Ra.One an advertiser's dream or a cluttered nightmare for brands?
Awesome!
According to the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), there was a 10% increase in the number of students accepted to read physics by the university admissons services between 2008-09, when The Big Bang Theory was first broadcast in the UK, and 2010-11. Numbers currently stand at 3,672. Applications for physics courses at university are also up more than 17% on last year
Big Bang Theory fuels physics boom
Pretty cool!
Finally!!! Image Management on WordPress is such PITA right now!

MG Siegler on why Kindle Fire will outsell the new Nook Tablet inspite of the latter being a better tablet and why device specs don't matter anymore.
A nice visualization of tweets throughout the world mentioning *11:11* on 11-11-11.
Pretty sweet! Also it seems to be a decent deal for $795 p.a. for 5 people for 1000GB.
