The flip side of Chrome!

The federal office for information security warned internet users of the new browser Chrome. The application by the company Google should not be used for surfing the internet, as a spokesperson for the office told the Berliner Zeitung. It was said to be problematic that chrome was distributed as an unfinished advance version. Furthermore it was said to be risky that user data is hoarded with a single vendor. With its search engine, email program and the new browser, Google now covers all important areas on the internet.

Previously, the Electronic Frontier Foundation also expressed their concern with Chrome over an address bar feature that sends information back to Google as you type, in order to provide suggestions. Google recently activated an auto-suggest feature for their Google.com homepage as well, sending back character strokes to Google even before you hit return (and when you turn off that feature, it will come back next time your cookies are cleared). Features like these may be important to Google – perhaps of special importance to them in Chrome to offer a feature that sets their browser apart – but it adds a new privacy discussion to the list.

Google Chrome is sexy!--2

A new feature which is the tabbed pages.., 
it'll show u the most visted and recent pages as small icons.. it'll help u track the most visited pages easily. a new way of looking at the history!
The pop_up pages are blocked and it is indicated at the bottom rather than at the top(in firefox3) which makes browsing a lot neat.

Another very useful feature is that the browser is preloaded with flash player and other common utilities which has to be downloaded and installed in other browsers... kudos boy chrome is proving to be a very good one.

Google Chrome is sexy!

Surfing the internet to day is like unprotected sex with strangers; chrome is the condom of the cloud!!

The first thing u'll notice about Chrome browser is the neat but very efficient design for which Google has always been always known for! I just downloaded it and with approximately 7 minutes of experience, it would be safe for me to claim that I got attracted to G_Chrome, only days to can tell whether i fall in love with this or it'll be the other way round! firefox3 has been my fist love.., as IE was a relationship for convience(from 2001-04)!!

Some of the features that were interesting
1)Application shortcut-can save a lot a time!

2)Incognito window- it actually stops recording all your browsing details when u access the websites from this window.

3)Web-security features-
and last but not the least, the ultra clean outlook, will take some time to sink in my mind as i'm accustomed to the feature rich crowded upper part of the browser with all the the tool bars and the bookmarks scattered hapasardly!!

will update this later..,for now G_Chrome is very promising..!

open orkut even if its banned

well firstly u can use powerscrap.com.. but the problem is, even this is banned in many places!!

so the second option is Kproxy.com

Kproxy is one of the best webproxy on net,a very very efficient Proxy….
i've used it many times and found that it shows different locations each time you try to track usin the IP-trackers..!
and the best thing is it can be used to login without actually showing up ur location(IP addr), i'm not sure about the packet level security as this is a free service. so its safe if you're using it for normal purposes, like accessing orkut account if its banned in ur place

Type www.kproxy.com

In the dialog box that opens in kproxy,type

www.orkut.com….Orkut window opens….Log IN
But Intelligent Administrators can block Kproxy too…. Then use this trick

Find the Ip address of Kproxy…

Given here

http://62.193.235.46/

This will open Kproxy window…. Now proceed as usual

Run 2 Gtalk accounts simultaneously!


Ever thought of working with 2 or more than 2 Simultaneous logins in gtalk? Want to run Google Talk with multiple Gmail identities? If you have several Google Gmail accounts you also may want to run multiple instances of Google Talk. This is especially important for Hostellers with one PC and more than one boarder in a single room. Nothing worse than a family member/friend signing you out so they can sign in under their own account!


Step 1: Right-click on the desktop
Step 2: Select New
Step 3: Select Shortcut
Step 4: Paste this into the text box:
"c:\program files\google\google talk\googletalk.exe" /nomutex
Step 5: Click Next and choose a shortcut name such as Google Talk1, Google Talk2, or something related to your Gmail account for easy remembering which account is which.
Step 6: Click OK a few times.

Congrats pal, You are DONE.

Check out the 'net speed!
