Google Chrome - Review

When the news about the upcoming Google Chrome reached my ears, I was expecting a web browser that would change the rules of the game.  Surprisingly,  my first impression about Google Chrome was not that great. [Surprise - Since Chrome is coming from the stables of Google]

 

Being a Google enthusiast, I started consoling myself that it was an after-effect of using firefox for a long time. I believed that using Google Chrome for a few more days would change my views. Alas! Here I am,  after my using Google Chrome for the last 5 days.

 

Positive things first. There are a few unique features in Chrome that I loved.

• The way it guesses the website address (including the websites which I have never visited)
• I don't need to have my default Web browser open to see the web links I click from Feedemon.
• New Tab page that showcases the most visited pages...

But still, my mouse prefers firefox to Chrome. Hope Google Chrome comes with some breathtaking changes or I will go back to my firefox.

P.S: I was quite surprised by the buzz that Google tried to create around 'Google Chrome'

• Link in Google Search Homepage
• Posts in most of the blogs of other Google products

Seems Google has big plans around the browser. Let us wait and see

Google News in Tamil

Are you one of those who fear that you will start forgetting Tamil script sooner or later?
Are you one of those who want a one-stop website to know everything happening in the Tamil World?
Are you one of those who love Tamil?

Then Google has come up with a great gift for you.. Yeah.. Google News is now available in Tamil... I still find Google News in English to be the only place where you get to know the latest and important news. And I am happy that Google News has come out with a version in Tamil..

Here is the excerpt from Google News Blog

"It's not every day that you get to launch a product in a more than 2,000-year-old language spoken by more than 70 million people. That's why we're excited to tell you that Google News is now available in Tamil. Tamil is one of the most widely-spoken languages in India, which is no mean feat considering that there are 22 official languages here."

Thank You! Google News Team!

Gold Finally!!!

An Olympic Gold after a longggggggggggg gap of 28 years... That too in an individual event.. Yahoo!!! Something that India has never achieved in its history.. Yipee... This was my initial reaction when the news was shared by one of my office colleagues..

But with the excitement, there was also a feeling of relief... A relief that the future sportsperson of India would not have to carry the burden of history... A relief that Indians have the ability to win gold in the Olympics... A relief that Indians could compete with the best and still win... Way to Go! Bindra....

Thankfully this historic event has brought me out of the blogging slumber... Hope I don't go back to my slumber again...

What a Match! What a Match!

I am sure everybody, who witnessed the match between Federer and Nadal, would have left with the same words... Especially for someone from the ipod generation, who never got the chance to witness those great matches involving great players like Boris Becker, this match would be the greatest he has ever seen.

Though Nadal may have won, he is still not the champion. For that to happen, he has to win 4 more Wimbledons. Until then, he would remain only as a great challenger. But for me personally, Federer would always remain the champion. Every champion needs a setback to show his real greatnes.. Federer has finally got one. Now it is time that he shows his class and imprints his name in the history books as the greatest tennis player to have graced this earth.
