@Velu has to say the following: (From the comments section)
Chrome is just a rip of Opera - from the Speed dial to the + button for opening the new tab. Then the devs thought they are doing injustice by just copying opera and hence picked a few from IE8 too like domain name highlighting, omnisearch and "Launch browser windows in a new process" ...
This would be a total flop release for the very reason that it lacks novelty and performs just as good as Opera7.

Bliss to be a hacker
Hacking heals your zeal for quest!
In the world of everything being digital you try to monetize as much as possible, if not otherwise you spoil others from doing it. If you think hacking is evil yes it is, but what it takes to be a hacker? Being smart, not just tech savvy but technically sound, hard worker... Oooo a lot of good qualities you often need to do something great.
It is a tit for tat game, the security experts who often mostly are hackers try and close the walls but the hackers breach them, and this after all continues for ever and ever. isn't that fun, hmmm yup it is too much of fun.
The current common attacks pose mobile virus, malware, spying software, sql injections.
There are classification of hackers the main one being the one who do hacking ethically called as ethical hackers and the rest of them. Ethical hacker makes money legally and the others do it the opposite or just for fun.
OK let me stop here before you conclude that I am hacker too.

IE8 Beta with Google tool bar, a deadly combo
IE8 and Google tool bar simply doesn't gel well. Back to back there were crashes, IE tries to recover the page and Google fires it down again and again. If you are an extensive Google tool bar user, wait for updates on IE8.
Given that IE8 is in beta, these kind off stuff is expected esp. the interop with Google.

Microsoft swaying to persue the goals of competitor?
Microsoft being forced to buy Yahoo!? Some say they have to be offensive since Google is targeting the core business of Microsoft, being desktop computing and the two monsters in that domain the Windows OS and MS Office.
But for a company so behemoth, why couldn't they generate the next wave of revolution?
Why haven't Microsoft taken a different step to tackle the challenges posed by Google? It is already too late, I can hear that. Microsoft known for it's marketing and bullying might, for sure knew the growth of Google and the impact.
In this world there are generally three well known rules to play such battles. Either hit hard at the competitor's core by own or by diverting the focus of all to a new paradigm or the last option to outplay the competitor by combination. By what I mean by the second attack is; shift in locking to the current technology.
Microsoft failed in the first two and is trying to bet on the last option, that is to buy another company to compete in the space.
Well no company is always superior in this sense, if it is for Microsoft today, the days for some one taking over Google is not longer. (It could even be as the result of this Microsoft acquisition.)
History repeats itself !!!

http:///
I guess it is time for web exploration!!
I just tried http:// in the address bar, no address associated with http://. But the browser automatically added another '/' and tried the URL as http:/// to find nothing. Why does it do that? I tried Googling but did not find results matching the same. (10 mins search resulted nothing, cannot waste more time on this).
Then i thought let's see how other browsers behave and downloaded Mozilla firefox. It was smart enough and poped up a dialog saying the address is invalid. Time to try netscape, opera, safari...
OR I should simply write to Microsoft IE forums to check with the folks who developed IE and what's gonna happen with IE8.

why does radio and tv exist in the wolrd? I mean the Internet world...
Though we have plethora of data, information, videos, photos, wiki's, blogs, and all sorts of streaming websites, TV and radio continue to exist and it will, why?
Agreed we have abundant search engines, to get you what you wanted. But what when you do not know what you wanted. puzzled :)
when you want to spend time on other's choices you have to turn in to TV/radio. Definitely computers are capturing the market share more and more, with enhanced software's+hardware's that can store/replay/record video and audio. All the gadgets are getting merged, with computer as a central intelligent unit every electronic gadget in existence will have them embedded. Going forward as we see the trend now there is not going to be a gadget that is could be clearly distinguished as a TV or radio or a computer, they will be all in one. May be the form factors may vary.
Internet on the other hand cannot just replace the TV broadcasting quality, the TV guys have gone far in their space up to 1080P or more. But you can connect your modem to the TV and watch streaming videos and browse the net, while you can watch your regular TV programs and another member of the home can watch the TV programs on a PC/Mac sitting on the other room, while playing their favorite video games or writing C# programs.

Microsoft web portfolio
Microsoft is trying to catch up the race with other race leaders Google, Yahoo in the web domain atleast to keep up to the trend. Microsoft launched its live portal for search, maps (Google started their street view service in google maps, which hit many controversies) and started to give beta trial website OFFICE LIVE with a mail facility to spur up small business that needs web space( I have mine ram@globalhandler.com). Though it is free they need your credit card details by which they say only genuine users will be allowed and will not charge us without notifying. If you need extra value added features like more mail space, storage then you will be charged. Live spaces, by which you can create your own space for photos, blogs, widgets, RSS and many more.
