    Get speedier, spiffier latest version of Google Chrome beta


    Google chrome released a new beta 3.0 on 8/05/2009 . Not only is it speedier than ever, but also the browser is given a little bit of cool design whimsy making it eye pleasing and attractive with good color and delight .

    • It is filled with more user friendly and advanced options and tremendous updates like
    • customizable New Tab page
    • improved Omnibox
    • cool funky basic themes that allow you to deck out your browser with colors, patterns and images.
    • HTML5 capabilities into this release, as well as a few other nifty technical improvements that will help Google Chrome make the most of your network connection.
    There are three update channels
    • Stable channel. Everyone is on the Stable channel when they first install Google Chrome. The Stable channel is updated with features and fixes once they have been throughly tested in the Beta channel. If you want a rock solid browser but don't need the latest features, the Stable channel is for you.
    • Beta channel. People who like to use and help refine the latest features subscribe to the Beta channel. Every month or so, we promote stable and complete features from the Dev channel to the Beta channel. The Beta channel is more stable than Dev, but may lack the polish one expects from a finished product.
    • Developer preview channel. The Dev channel is where ideas get tested (and sometimes fail). The Dev channel can be very unstable at times, and new features usually require some manual configuration to be enabled. Still, simply using Dev channel releases is an easy (practically zero-effort) way for anyone to help improve Google Chrome.
    However if you want more advanced updates , you may opt for Dev channel ,and get updates earlier than stable or BETA versions !
    Go here http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel

    With new 29 themes for chrome , its more customization , but its only available for the beta version ,the 3.0 version not stable one ! To download theme ,the stable one need to uninstalled first , following installation of BETA .

    last.fm: Your complete music keeper

    last.fm is a website that is specialized in tracking peoples' music tracks, giving them recommendations, and accessing personal music collection from anywhere, without much efforts.



    You can start with creating a last.fm account on their site, which is pretty simple. You can add some artists initially for a start.

    The next step is to configure your media player for song reporting. This feature is easily present in most Linux media players. You just have to give the media player your last.fm username and password.

    Here I'll show you how to configure VLC media player.

    1. Open VLC media player.
    2. From menu, Tools > Preferences.
    3. Select the Audio tab, check the box saying "Enable last.fm submission" and enter your username and password.


    That's it! You're done. Now you can play tracks and see your library getting filled automatically, while your player does the job near the end of each track played. Here's my music profile.

    Firefox 3.5.2 fixes the following issues:

    Impact key:

    1. Critical: Vulnerability can be used to run attacker code and install software, requiring no user interaction beyond normal browsing.
    2. High: Vulnerability can be used to gather sensitive data from sites in other windows or inject data or code into those sites, requiring no more than normal browsing actions.
    3. Moderate: Vulnerabilities that would otherwise be High or Critical except they only work in uncommon non-default configurations or require the user to perform complicated and/or unlikely steps.
    4. Low: Minor security vulnerabilities such as Denial of Service attacks, minor data leaks, or spoofs. (Undetectable spoofs of SSL indicia would have "High" impact because those are generally used to steal sensitive data intended for other sites.)

    Fixed in Firefox 3.5.2

    MFSA 2009-46 Chrome privilege escalation due to incorrectly cached wrapper
    MFSA 2009-45 Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.9.1.2/1.9.0.13)

    If you want to see full website without visiting as it may contain some harmful materials ,it is better to watch out for sub-links which is many a times replaces by somethings like tinyurl.com/fdfd78s , making very difficult to even imagine what lies in the website
    thus we can then check full original url only by going to tinyurl site and chrcking out real url but

    URL redirection services are now many
    see this list of all such services

    1. qurl.net
    2. notlong.com

    Translate english in indian lanuages



    Google has a very good service called Google Transliterate.
    This service is only for the Indic languages , i mean only for indians ,as only indians can understand indian languages lol . It boasts right now upto 11 languages

    1. Bengali ,
    2. Gujarati ,
    3. Hindi ,
    4. Kannada ,
    5. Malayalam ,
    6. Marathi ,
    7. Punjabi ,
    8. Nepali ,
    9. Tamil ,
    10. Telugu and
    11. Urdu
    Unlike Google Translate, Google Transliterate is a totally different concept. The name speaks for itself. You can easily ,fastly change and translate any language online and that too free . It is great tool if you want to give a presentation in another language with same pronunciation .
    Google Transliteration offers an option for converting English characters to the characters used in Hindi. This lets you type Hindi words phonetically in English script and then have them appear in Hindi.
    Note that this is not the same as translation - it is the sound of the words that are converted from one alphabet to the other, not their meaning.

    For example

    i wrote
    GOOD MORNING
    and i selected hindi language , i got
    गुड मोर्निंग
    People do not use Google Translate for official work because many –a--times it gives wrong translations or something very weird. In that case Google Transliterate comes to your rescue.
    It can also be directly used in websites and sending mail and for more purposes , see the code here http://t13n.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/blet/docs/help_hi.html
