Google joined the browser war

Google is launching Google Chrome - A browser from Google! Wow, this is really exciting. They should have done it long ago, after all most of the services Google provides requires a browser.

A Beta version of Google Chrome will be launched tomorrow. Only Windows version will be available for now. But, Google assured that Linux and Mac versions will be there soon.

Here is a comic available, explaining the problems with current browsers, and how Google Chrome will overcome them. It seems, Google chrome will be as complex as an operating system internally, yet having a intuitive and simple user interface. Also, Google chrome will be more faster and robust - 'rock solid' according to Google.

Another great news is Google Chrome will be open source.

So, Check in tomorrow to try Google Chrome for yourself. Keep an eye on Official Google Blog to know when it is time.

Update (Sep 3, 2008): Get Google Chrome from http://www.google.com/chrome. Visit the Chromium project website to get the source code. I am already using it. I am posting this from Chrome. It is visibly fast. And it is so simple that you will not even feel it is there.

Still on a dark sky you may be able to spot it as a white splotch against the black sky. Look for it in the constellation Leo [ skymap ]. It will lie only a few degrees from saturn. The comet actually looks green through powerful telescopes. This is because, its gassy atmosphere, of the size of Jupiter, contains cyanogen(CN) and diatomic carbon(C 2 ), both glow green in sunlight.

Into the World of Computer Gaming

I had a Desktop PC with Gigabyte G31M-S2L motherboard, Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB RAM for a long time. But, it didn't have any dedicated graphics card. Most computer games wouldn't work on my PC. Recently, I bought a descent mid-range graphics card (AMD Raedon 6670 1 GB DDR5) for Rs. 5400. Now, I can play almost all the latest games in High Resolution.
