• Sushi Goes Desi
  Its creator in Japan had always envisioned sushi as fast food, to be savoured even by the road side. Here is what it is doing on Indian streets.
  But isn’t is supposed to be served fresh.
• Is The Rediff Redesign To Blame For Top Exec Exits At Rediff?

• Nasa proves why cricket balls really swing
  

  What the commentators, cricketers I much admire, have been saying about swing is plain wrong. They’ve been talking about the clouds, how the new ball won’t swing until the lacquer has come off, and it’s just rubbish.

• Telephone Terrorist
  A TSG investigation unmasks the leader of Pranknet and the miscreants behind a year-long wave of phone call criminality.
  

  Coalescing in an online chat room, members of the group, known as Pranknet, use the telephone to carry out cruel and outrageous hoaxes, which they broadcast live around-the-clock on the Internet. Masquerading as hotel employees, emergency service workers, and representatives of fire alarm companies, ‘Dex’ and his cohorts have successfully prodded unwitting victims to destroy hotel rooms and lobbies, set off sprinkler systems, activate fire alarms, and damage assorted fast food restaurants.

• ‘Best’ for Last?
  Or Should You Sign That E-Mail With Sincerely? Regards? Cheers? or L-, L-, Love?
  I don’t close client mails with anything not even my name, if I have already had a conversation with the person. The sign-off’s are a stupid formaility and mostly seem fake or just unnecessary. As for personal mails, you don’t have to think…you just go with the flow of the mail.
• Closing the Gender Divide
  The man girdle. Will need one of those soon.
• The Shaker Design Philosophy
  Don’t make something unless it is both necessary and useful; but if it is both necessary and useful, don’t hesitate to make it beautiful.
• Twittergraphy
  On the similarities between the telegraph and Twitter.
  

  During the late 19th-century telegraphy boom, some carriers charged extra for words longer than 15 characters and for messages longer than 10 words. Thus, the cheapest telegram was often limited to 150 characters.
  Concerns for economy, as well as a desire for secrecy, fueled a boom in telegraphic code books that reduced both common and complex phrases into single words.
