Google Chrome - Fast and Elegant

I had couple of issues with IE and FF3 in Windows and I decided to give it a try with the Buzz: Google Chrome. Amazingly, it's pretty fast than I expected. The next thing I like about chrome is it's simplicity, no stupid buttons hanging all over your browser :). 

I like the concept of having processes for each tab. I am wondering that browser technology is going to be much like the OSs. I mean the comic book is filled with many OS concepts I have learnt :). 

Kudos to Chrome !!

Google Pages

Google always come up with cool ideas. This is not boasting but they really do. I recently came across this idea of Google pages. I was searching for a place to share some of my files with others. It's then I found this and it was more than a place to share files. I gave it a try and here is my hOme up and running :)

Ubuntu 7.10 on DELL E1505 Notebook

I installed Ubuntu (Gusty Gibbon) on my Dell notebook and I felt the beauty of it from the very beginning.

The two most interesting features I see:
1. Read/Write facility to NTFS (Windows) partitions
2. Easy configuration of restricted drivers (no need to worry about setting up your ATI video card :)
