Quote on Light- by me

At this point where there are experiments conducted to reveal the Bing Bang theory, I just thought about LIGHT and it's characteristic. I have a few quotes on them and I thought I would post it. Hope you people like it.

  • Light throws visibility on all things, but can't throw visibility on light
  • Light is transparent enough to reveal all things but not itself

Google Chrome swallows Mozilla Firefox

Google Chrome swallows Mozilla Firefox

Well that too atleast on my system.Google's Chrome had launched silently and is all set to conquer this Browser's space. As soon as I tested out my hands on Chrome at my office system, I came home and uninstalled FF3 and installed Chrome :).

Let me highlight you some great features of this browser (tabbed browser of course):

1. It uses a concept of multithreading. Which means each tab has its own pre-allocated memory space.
For example, I open two tabs namely one for google and another for msn as shown:



Now, if I see the system task manager, I can see two Chrome.exe processes:












2. More browsing space, little/no congestion! Webpages occupy the max space and other tabs, buttons/menu are not applicable. Tabs are typically placed on top for more browsing experince. This is a very important and key feature and makes us love this browser. No hassles is the call of the day!

3. The browser itself has its own tak manager and can display other browser's memory usage (if opened currently).
This task manager is very helpful to kill tabs that issue trouble without having to kill your browser as in IE or FF.

4. Smart box as in FF3 with additional feature for search "keyword" in Google or other search engines based on your default search engine set at the options.

5. One click Bookmarking as in FF3. Remember the Star?

6. Clean, simple interface that is self explanatory and even a small kid can learn the interface fast.

7. Most visited tabs list. This is surely a hit, a copy from Opera I guess :)

8. Finally a key feature: (Why myself have installed this and recommend you people too)

It loads and closes faster than any other app in this world. Very very fast!

I am expecting a few more features like restore, import bookmarks from files etc. I know its still in BETA stage and I am eagerly waiting for its full release!

I saw a presentation on Chrome and explaining the key features, I learned that crashes from the browser is no way possible and thats the technology behind it. And yeah the restore feature that I specified is off now!
How about some widgets/add-ons?
Let see what the full version has to offer ..

Update: I think I am in LOVE with Firefox3. I just uninstalled Google Chrome and got back FF3 in my office computer. Well, at home, due to resource constraints I am still using Lighter Google Chrome. Also, G Chrome crashed in my home PC. Do not know the reason yet, its not opening at all! I uninstalled the same from my home PC too. So please consider these before you install chrome. You can very well do away with IE7 or FF3. They are invincible at the moment!
