Google Chrome : A Review




Google is coming into the market to compete with a giant like Microsoft. So a few weeks ago they launched a web browser called GOOGLE CHROME. The most surprising thing is that they launched this only for Win XP/ Vista only. Well launching a browser that would only work in the competitors' operating system? Intersting....but if you see from their point of view, it is the most widely used operating system!!

So I would think, what is so special about this browser? This would offer the same or similar facilities and options that IE, firefox, safari, opera, netscape would...with a few modifications...

But this was the google product I couldnt digest....

No real surprises or major advantages over any other browser. My personal favorite is Firefox and that would remain same.

Now google claims that it has taken care of the existing problems of the current widely used internet browsers but I do not believe so.

I would say a couple of new things but that is it.

They claim that the chrome is a lighter application than other browsers and a single instance is standalone and doesnt hurt other instances. Well upon my use of a few weeks...it didnt really matter to me. If you have like 5-6 chrome windows open and is open till long time...so when u try to switch it back, it just takes a lot of time to get back.

Other thing that is something new is that any tab you can drag it and make it a new window, this sounds useful sometimes.

Do let me know if in case somebody found a very good advantage of chrome over other browsers..

Google claims chrome to be very fast but I personally didnt find the feature to be effective.

Finally I am not pleased with this new browser, claims to be light but I personally didnt find it light, no good looks, and that makes me think ....

Why should I switch to this browser when almost all things are better with my favorite browser?

Hope google could read this and tell me what to look for in chrome...

Adios Amigos...Njoy life to the fullest..

Movie Review: "A Wednesday"



This is one of the best movies I have seen in recent times....

The way the director ponders over the current situation of citizens of India and especially Mumbai. I really liked the way the director takes one by one; problems of a common man...(stupid common man)...

The movie starts as a police commissioner starts narrating the best case ever handled by him....But he says that the surprising fact is that it is never registered in a file or at any place........

I would not agree to some of the previous reviewers that the move doesn't have big star cast......I believe that this movie has the best of the actors in the Indian movie industry. The best stage actors...Anupam Kher and Naseerudin Shah.

Anupam Kher and Naseerrudin Shah are the actors nobody can be compared with.....they are unique characters and their presence in any movie makes an amazing impact to the movie.

I would not like to describe the movie or the story as a whole because I want you to watch the movie and then think of what a common man in India would feel after what has happened with the common man.....

I really like the last line of the movie......Anupam Kher says" He told me his name but I won't tell you because people tend to find religion in a name" The above lines really touched my heart and depicts the real pain in the hearts of people of Mumbai....

I really want people to watch this realistic movie....Hats off to the director and the writer....
