Google Chrome - Wow!!!!

Tried out Google chrome…. And my only response is, I am addicted!!!!

 

I had started off expecting that I won’t stick to it for long, considering that I am pretty happy with FF3. But after using Google Chrome, I realized the advantages of having a separate process for each tab. Yes it does not have the add ins, but I am sure those will follow.

 

Even IE8 beta 2 takes a couple of seconds to open a new tab (with no content displayed, except their usual about:tabs). Chrome opens up a tab, and also displays an intelligent page, in less than a second :O.

 

These guys know how to build a browser!!!

 

Things I love to do with this browser.

-          I enjoy draggin a tab out of the window…. The dragging UI is pretty cool

-          The rendering engine is pretty fast.

 

The only problem I seem to be facing is, I am not able to open google s applications such as Google reader. (When I try to open google.com/reader, it directs me to the login page but does not show the UI to login and just stops there). I need to figure this out. It may be because of some nonsense corporate policy (our company has some really crappy internet usage policies.)

 

Anyway,

Check  7 Really Awesome Things About Google Chrome

Also check Serious Security Flaw in Google Chrome and Try To Uninstall Google Chrome (have not checked this considering the crap policies I mentioned about L).

The fight is in the open

Been busy lately and so have not managed to post for quite long. But I just had to post this. This post is dedicated to all persons who dont know anything about the fight between MS and Google: Check out the links starting from: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-5875433.html?tag=nl.e589 There are more links as you get thru the article. Be sure to read those too. And just as a side-note: Check out " Atlas ". These are client side and server side components, which easily (??) enable you to make Web calls. This is done by encapsulating AJAX. (please dont insult by telling me that you dont know what that is).

Finally decided

I have been having these various itch since quite some time. Both about what i am doing here (where i work) and what am i meant to do. Finally, i have decided "I need a job change". I guess IT services industry was never meant to be the right industry for me. Don't get me wrong there, it's not that i wanna quit because i am not getting any interesting work, it's just that I have ideas about life which does not match with what my company is doing. (As amatter of fact, they have some really beautiful concepts which are great to work on). But i have believed web to be the future and now i have started realising that personal dreams do become quite a pain in the neck, when they are ignoired. Huh.... now that i put it on a log, i feel much better. Back to work...

Movies common for 2 actors/actresses

One question: Which all movies did both George Clooney and Brad Pitt act in? Am sure you would be going to google. And what do you do after that? See all the links, and check each and every page, trying to find the common movies. Now why could the computer not do this? Why are you spending 5 minutes trying to find this out, when you should be able to request the computer to do this..... Enter Semantic search, a mechanism where you can query data for relationships which the human mind understands, and secondly the computer understands. There are many places where they are trying to build this semantic search. I build a small application which uses freebase . And built an application where you can provide the names of 2 actors/actresses and find the movies both worked on. Check the page http://www.nlighten.in/CommonMovies.html . Details about freebase: Freebase uses the databases provided by Wikipedia and multiple other providers, and provide all the data in OOP ...
