Chrome out of "beta"

surprise surprise... google have done something that is never expected of them... they have taken one of their products out of its "beta" status within 3 months of its launch... yes... google chrome beta is no longer a beta... its just google chrome... this is a very surprising development especially since google is known for betas that last years rather than months... now i am just waiting for the day when the old gmail will lose the beta tag that it has been carrying along for over 4 years now!

Microsoft and Google now share more than colors

miWe all know only too well the Windows logo, that ubiquitous four-color flapping flag, which conveniently marks the Start Menu. In case you have not seen the trees because of the forest so far, the colors in question are red, green, blue and yellow. Coincidently, the same colors have been planted in Google's logo - the search engine - as well. However, there would be nothing too strange about this, if the similarity were restricted to the chromatic aspect alone.

 

But when it comes to Google's web browser, the resemblance between its logo and that from Windows tends to become more obvious, in that the former’s approach seems like a stylized clone of the latter’s logo. Since just taking a closer look at the two, side by side, will do the trick. It could be just us, but the only difference in there is the fact that Windows' fluttering flag has been rolled into a Google ball.

Google Chrome : Open Source Web Browser

Google Chrome has been built in a time when browsers no longer render mostly web pages, but full-blown web applications. That's why browsers need to be more powerful, more stable and more secure. One of the problems of the existing browsers is that a web page can lock the browser and there's no way to isolate that tab and close it. Google Chrome uses a new process for each tab. "We're applying the same isolation you find in modern operating systems," says Arnaud Weber. Each process is sandboxed to prevent malware from affecting your computer.



The new browser has a JavaScript virtual machine built by the V8 team from Denmark that generates code dynamically and has a better garbage collector.
Google Chrome's UI is inspired by Opera: tabs are displayed above the address bar, the address bar combines previously typed URLs with search results and suggestions and there's a homepage that includes frequently visited sites, recently closed tabs, bookmarks and searches.

Exploring Google

As we all know,google is clearly the best general-purpose search engine on the Web.But most people don't use it to its best advantage.Do you just plug in a keyword or two and hope for the best? That may be the quickest way to search, but with more than 3 billion pages in Google's index, it's still a struggle to get results to a manageable number.

But google's search options go beyond simple keywords, the Web, and even its own programmers. Let's look at some of Google's lesser-known options.

1) www.google.com/help/operators.html

Google supports several advanced operators, which are query words that have special meaning to Google. Typically these operators modify the search in some way, or even tell Google to do a totally different type of search.

2) Suppose you want to contact someone and don't have his/her phone number.Google can help you with that, too.Just enter a name, city, and state(The city is optional, but you must enter a state.) If a phone number matches the listing, you'll see it at the top of the search results along with a map link to the address.
If you'd rather restrict your results, use rphonebook: for residential listings or bphonebook: for business listings.
