Google Chrome Launched?! For Linux?

Google launched Google Chrome, the new face of Browsers, Today. Adhering to their policies of keeping the most powerful tools look the simplest( eg: Google.com). I downloaded it today evening. And yup, must say, its good!

Google Chrome has a new look with no menu bars on top. All the options condensed to two icons on the top right corner. Chrome has provisions for multiple tabs in the same window, similar to Opera or Mozilla Firefox, but the striking feature is the incognito window- a window that leaves no trace of cookies or history on your system of the sites that you visited. A hitch, however, that I found was that there is no facility for a master password in it. That is, I could see all the saved passwords on my personal computer without any trouble. I guess that was probably because I was logged in as Admin. Anyways its kinda creepy!

The simplicity of appearance and easiness to use is what I felt to be the most adoring aspect of Chrome. Ctrl+T opens new Tab and Ctrl+Shift+N opens the incognito window!

All in all, , Firefox and IE is in for a tough competition with the coming of Chrome,that comes from the workshops of Google, a trusted giant in the Industry!

Firefox and Funds

I finally downloaded FireFox 2.0 from Mozilla website on 19Th night.Frankly, it seems very much like the FireFox 1.5 that I was using earlier.I did find a new option in the History tab- "recently closed tabs".It lists, as the name says, all the webpages the user visited in that session.

Its practically unnecessary to include such a tab as we do have the list of all the visited tabs available right on top of this option.May be these inclusions are what they call "updates" :).


My classmates ,Raman and Rohit came home for a night stay.We watched some movies and when everyone of us started feeling sleepy, we switched over to the all time classic comic saga- "Friends".And there goes all the sleep.We watched it till 2 in the morning and then went to bed all the time discussing things in college and debating on topics like forming a class fund.I hope some of you readers have an idea as to what this means.And i request your opinion on how to implement this.
Started downloading Quicktime 7(19.2MB).My Gprs connection could do that in under an hour which is, as my experience says, a good time.:)

Reinstated Net Facility

I had been driven way away from the world of Internet for the past 2-3 months owing to unavoidable circumstances that cropped here.
Today Anish Chetan's mom, or my aunt in short, gave me her son's Motorola c650 which would serve me the purpose as a modem for my Internet connection, while my dear nokia 3120 will still be used as usual.
I had to spent half an hour to set up the network connection in my PC,OS being Windows Xp Sp2.I had to re-install the Motorola modem drivers twice before they would actually fit into the framework.
As soon as the connection was made,i tried to visit two web pages simultaneously- Google and Pramode sir's blog.Google being my all time favorite for its wonderful search and all the stuffs associated.Sad to say this,thanks to my wonderful Airtel GPRS connection, sir's blog would not load at all.
I'm planning to download FireFox 2 now(using Internet Explorer now:(). Anyone with a better suggestion for a browser, kindly post as reply.
