Cleartrip Enables Passbook Support for Tickets
Cleartrip, my favorite online ticket-booking service for India, has announced that Passbook support has been enabled for all tickets booked through the service.
All confirmation emails sent by Cleartrip now have a pass file attached in addition to the PDF ticket. In addition, passes are available from within your Cleartrip Account through your desktop or mobile browser.
I was hoping they’d do this since October last year.
Zomato is now Available in London
We have a habit of pressure testing Zomato and our people by putting big challenges, six inches in front them. So, we decided, that this Christmas, Zomato is coming to London. This meant, we had to collect data for over 15,000 restaurants on foot in extreme cold, upload all the information, scan all the menus, and quality check everything before we could say London is live. On top of that, all the product and design changes that were needed to make sure that we were ready to compete in a market such as London, where we are going against some of the biggest, most respected players in the world.
That’s a mighty leap by Zomato. I’m a big fan of the work Zomato’s been doing over the last couple of years and it’s great to see them expand like this. If you’re in London, you can request access to their London content here.

A supercut of the Qualcomm Keynote at CES 2013 by the folks at The Verge. Saying this was awkward would be severely understating it.

Naming the New Browser at Apple
Don Melton, who lead the Safari and WebKit projects at Apple, has a very interesting story to share today about what went on at Apple when it came to naming the then unnamed project.
To this day, I don’t know who suggested the name “Safari.” I wasn’t in the room when the heavens split asunder and angels sounded forth as a choir singing that three-syllable benediction. But I had been part of the naming discussion before. Several times.
