Yet another viper

In Linux/Unix world two editors are raging war on each other. Some say emacs is the best editor and others say vi is the best editor. Google for "vi+emacs", you will see tons of blogs posted, supported there own favored editor. I, on the other side don't support either of them, and yes, I have used both of them. I feel both of these editors have there own advantages and disadvantages. So, for some time I have been searching for a editor which supports switching between these two editor modes dynamically. 'Viper' is one such package which can be used to emulate 'vi' like functionality within emacs. You can also use emacs commands in insert mode if you know any. I think there is a similar add-on available for 'vi' also. If I find one I will get it posted here, for your and my reference.

Indiatimes shopping experience

Today I was going through shopping sites that are available in India, I was specifically looking for hand crank radio and flashlights. I first googgled and found couple of good products in amazon. As amazon does not ship products to India I decided to try out searching on some shopping sites available in India. some of the sites I tried are sify shopping, rediff shopping and indiatimes. I did a quick search on sify shopping and rediff shopping it did not return any good products, later I tried out on indiatimes quick search, to my amazement it returned me 320 search results. when I went through absolutely _NONE_ of the search results matched my keyword. I wonder indiatimes shopping has misunderstood the quick search requirement.

Happy shopping!!!
