Features I want in iOS5 (hopefully these are announced @ this WWDC)
From an end user's perspective, these are the features I want:
1) Fixed notifications. This probably has been pending for a long long time
2) An easy way to shut all the background apps instead of the same old press+hold+delete routine
3) App organisation: I am not sure about other iOS users. But I have noticed that any app I place in a folder, I start using it lesser and I believe this is true for many other iOS users too.
Ideally, Apple should let the springboard of apps scroll up/down for each section (like games, news, utilities etc) and scroll sideways for switch between the sections/groups/folders.
4) Its been quite monotonous seeing the same springboard. Guess they should make the icons hexagonal instead of squares? (Alright, I just had to add that frivolous one just for the heck of it ;) )
Lets see what "magic" Steve Baba will talk about (in about 11 hrs from the time of posting this wishlist)

Thanks to the search engines from Ukraine and Russia
In April, I had the most hits on the blog, without any effort from me (in spamming other tech blogs with comments leading to my blogposts). I must say, thats mainly because of Yandex, the upcoming search engine (that stands for Yet ANother inDEX).
In May, the blog posts got a lot of hits from Ukraine, so I am guessing there are some Ukrainians who are coming up with another search engine of their own!
Eitherway, for the sake of bragging, I must say, May has been the month with the most hits on my blog :P

Is there anyone out there caring for the environment?
This is actually my comment for this TechCrunch post (I hate posting big comments :)
Not surprised to see why no one wants to talk about population reduction as a greener option! Everyone wants to use the least damaging source of electricity (nothing is green. Every energy generation unit leads to some carbon emissions).
Ideal green solution: Reduce world population. This directly affects every source of consumption, which leads to reduced carbon emissions at multiple sources.
If an extra baggage policy works wonders for the airline industry, a similar policy should work wonders in eradicating poverty, reducing emissions etc. It should at least be implemented in the top 3 populous countries (China, India and USA). Have first baby free. for the second baby pay $1000. third baby $5000.
Why this solution will never be implemented:
