So, Google has finally made public it’s browser called Chrome :

As you may have read in the blogosphere, we hit “send” a bit early on a comic book introducing our new open source browser, Google Chrome. We will be launching the beta version of Google Chrome tomorrow in more than 100 countries.

Microsoft has released Beta 2 of the upcoming Internet Explorer 8. This is a wider beta release of the browser which has many improvements over Beta 1. It has features which were introduced by Firefox 3 a long time ago (well not exactly a loooong time ago but yes before IE8).

With the release of Firefox 3 being a major event this year, there’s been considerable buzz regarding new add-ons for the 3 and upgrades to popular extensions to enable support for the latest version: 3. Mozilla recently organized a contest to crown the best add-ons for Firefox.

Intel Corporation is going to use the Core brand as it’s flagship brand like the Pentium brand and has named it’s next chip, Core i7:

Intel Corp said it plans to sell its new generation of chips for desktop computers under the established “Core” brand, with the first chips of the new line to be called Core i7.

As for using the Core brand as it’s flagship brand, the article has this to say:

Santa Clara, California-based Intel indicated that the Core name, already used for other chips including the popular Core 2 Duo processor, will be its flagship PC processor brand.

Sean Maloney, general manager of Intel’s sales and marketing group, says:

“Expect Intel to focus even more marketing resources around that name and the Core i7 products starting now”

Nokia PC Suite v7.0 is now available for download from Nokia. It is the first major version release since v6.0 so expect good amount of improvements in it. It supports majority of Nokia’s phones.

Well, I must share this with you. I have been trying to check the issue with the Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox that is not allowing it to work with my previous Firefox 2 installation and even with my new Firefox 3 installation.

This problem has now persisted with me since 2 months or even more. What really is the reason, I can’t find out. The problem happens (to me since I visit only this site with Firefox) when I visit Indiatimes Broadband and try to watch a video or two!

I was hoping that the upgrade to Firefox 3 would (probably) solve my problem, but it seems to me that the problem has persisted even after the upgrade.

I wonder if anybody else is facing the same issue or is it just me?

While the whole World maybe smitten by the style, features and brand statement of the iPod (and more recently the iPhone and the iPod Touch), there still are worthy opponents of this one sided playing machine out on the market which are worth the money, provided you are willing to overlook brand Apple.

It is being reported that Microsoft maybe building an Internet centric non-Windows Operating System. This operating system will eliminate the dependance on hardware as is the case with the present day operating systems. An incubator project codenamed “Midori” is being headed by Eric Rudder, senior VP for Technical Strategy at Microsoft.

Well, a band of former Google executives have put together a cuil (pronounced ‘COOL’ ) search engine. Or atleast that’s what they have thought of it themselves.

So, what does it have for us? Well, we have to test the results from this new search engine and check it out. I might test it for a couple of days from now and then match the results to that from Google’s own engine.

Many of you might already know that Google purchased Feedburner last year. Well, it was about time that we all started noticing some changes on Feedburner. Well, looks like our wait’s over.
