The chrome book: Excited!!!!

Google is launching its new OS and have introduced its first computer called "chromebook" which is likely to be released on June 15th. The chromebook is supposed to boot within seconds and is supposed to be 10times faster then windows and mac.

Google has claimed to manage all your files and data on the internet. google believes that since most of the computer users spend their comouting time on the internet instead of their desktops. it is the time to take everything on the internet and nothing on the desktop. You can work on all your applications on the web and even store them. this removes the headache of storing the files locally or getting it infected by the virus. this removes the necessity of installing utility files and running softwares on the desktop. this also eliminates the storage barrier.

Believe me or not...Google has come up with an amazing new concept.



Also Google has a good reputation of excellent implementation capability and therefore I have very little concern of whether it will actually benefit the users or not because it will.




Web Store : Google Rules

Webstore is one of the major changes and upgradation for all google users. If you have google chrome as a web browser on your desktop, the latest upgradation on chrome which is web store. there are some amazing apps on google some of which are actually free. it is sometimes very easy to identify how efficient these small free apps make your daily job easy. Things like image editing, wiki searching, tweeting is all made so fast that you dont have to even leave your current page in the process.

The apps on google chrome are classified based on their category. The top free apps and paid apps are displayd on the top and on the side bar respectively.

Some of the chrome apps that I found facinated are

Picnik:

A cool image editing software that allows you to do some effective and elegant editing making it easier and faster to save, upload on the website.

Scribe Fire:

One of the fastest way of blogging. you can create your blog post edit it and upload it directly on your blog without logging into your account. Infact I have uploaded this post from scribe fire only.

Twitter Bar:

As the name suggests you can easily tweet instsntly which can be called instant tweeting. To sue this app the icon appears on the top right crne rof your chrome screen.

Wikipedia Companion:

How many of us can live without wikipedia. How often do we require to go to wikipedia for a topic? this app opens a small screen right below the address bar in the upper right corner and lets you surf wikipedia directly. A true boon to those hardcore web diggers.

Stay Logged In for more apps that would increase productivity and efficiency.

Switch To Google chrome


These are the reasons why

1)Its design is much cleaner than other browsers

2)Not only opening up the new tabs is eaiser but also after openning a new tabs u get to see the thumbnails of all previously visited websites so that you can click on one of the thumbnails instead of typing the address again and again.

3)It is much more stable than other browsers

4)The page loads faster compared to other browsers

5)Viewing history is much more convenient(just by pressing ctrl H history will pop up)

6)Also history can be viewed in a much efficient way like day wise (probably upto 1 month history can be saved) making it very easy to visit previously viewed websites and pages.

and now the best part

7)If your computer shutsdown abruptly,When the system restarts and as soon as you open google chrome it allows you to view all the previouly closed tabs and sessions which were terminated due to system shutdown.

At least internet explorer does not provide this facility and after internet explorer directly switched to chrome because i was quite comfortable until then.
