What is ChromeBook ??

Google has unveiled the Chromebook - a laptop that runs on Chrome OS. The Chrome OS is a cloud based operating system which means that all your data (or most of it) will be stored on a remote server rather than on the local hard drive. Another way of saying it is you can literally rip apart and destroy your Chromebook (assuming you have deep pockets) and still get a good night's sleep because your data is safely backed up somewhere on the net. The following are some of the advantages of Chromebook as touted by Google.  Boots in 8 seconds flat. Full support for Adobe Flash and the latest web standards. A rich collection of web...

Why Google can never beat Microsoft !!

Google seems to be in some kind of existentialist dilemma.It desperately wants to dethrone Microsoft,and yet majority of its service like the search engine,Gmail and Google Docs are mostly accessed through IE browser,running on a Windows powered system. The only way Google can change its equation against Microsoft,is by coming up with its own OS. But that is easier said than done.It was in 1983 that the first Windows operating system was introduced and since then Microsoft has dominated the world of computing.The idea that more than 90% of PCs run on Windows sounds to some ears like an archetypal cliche`,which might remain true forever.

Customize your Facebook Profile Page

The new layout of your Facebook profile page can accommodate six images thus giving you room to be a little bit more creative with the design. For instance, some people “slice” a large photograph into pieces and tag them on Facebook such that one slice appears as their main profile picture while the other pieces show up in the thumbnail region. If you would like to have something similar for your own Facebook profile page, just get a 700px (W) x 500 px (H) picture of yourself and slice it in Photoshop /GIMP as per dimensions marked in the next image. Upload all these image slices to your Facebook photo album and then tag...

Use goo.gl to Know if your Email has been Read

How do you know if your email message has been read by the recipient(s)? One option is that you embed a tracking image in your outgoing email messages. If that image downloads on to the recipient's computer, it is a confirmation that your email has been opened and read. Obviously, this technique will only work if the recipient has enabled automatic image downloads and that he or she is reading your email in HTML and not plain text. There’s another option as well. If your outgoing email messages include one or more hyperlinks, you may even consider taking the help of a URL shortening service like goo.gl for email tracking. The...

Google Switches to Generic 404 Pages

Google previously was serving pretty useful 404 errors or pages that are displayed when someone types an incorrect URL in the address bar or when the requested page has been removed from Google’s servers. For instance, in the previous implementation, if someone requested a non-existent page like google.com/email – it will show them links to related sites, like Gmail, instead of serving a dead-end 404 error. That has however changed recently and Google now serves generic 404 errors that point nowhere. The new design doesn’t even have a search box. Beautiful but less-usef...

Chrome Extension Fixes Twitter’s Grammar, Tells Us “Whom” We Should Follow

All is right with the world, as genius (and Googler!) Thomas Steiner has made this beautiful Chrome extension that corrects Twitter’s subject/object discrepancy on its “Who to Follow” feature. Grammar snobs (I KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU COMMENT), rejoice! In case anyone’s still confused about ”Who” vs. “Whom” usage, here’s a quick tip to differentiate courtesy of Shit You Should Know: “To determine proper usage of who/whom, separate the who/whom clause and pose it as a question.  If that question can be answered with “he”, use “who”; if it can be answered with “him”, use ‘whom’.” You can change your entire life by downloading...
