Google Chrome

For all those Google fans and critics here is a new project from Google ,GOOGLE CHROME , an Open Source web browser.There have been rumors that Google was going to release its own browser. Now, thanks to Google Blogoscoped, we have some additional evidence: a 38-page comic book sent out by Google and drawn by no less than Scott McCloud, creator of the classic Understanding Comics, to announce the Google Chrome project. The features depicted in the comic book are::
  • Its an Open Source project based on Webkit rendering engine and includes Google Gears project.
  • The browser will contain a JavaScript Virtual Machine called V8.
  • Like Mozilla it will include tabbed browsing but the position of the tabs will be on the upper side of the window, not below the address bar.
  • The browser has an address bar with auto-completion features.and is called ’omnibox’ that resembles Firefox’s “Awesome bar”.
  • The browser will include Speed Dial feature as in Opera.
  • Chrome has a privacy mode; Google says you can create an “incognito” window and nothing that occurs in that window is ever logged on your computer.
  • Web apps can be launched in their own browser window without address bar and toolbar like in Mozilla Prism.
  • Google also promises that whatever runs in a tab is sandboxed so that it won’t affect your machine and can be safely closed. Plugins the user installed may escape this security model.

Although this could be a hoax, I’m inclined to believe it’s for real: the URL for Google Chrome is returning a custom 404 page, rather than the one Google uses for random words. I’m sure I won’t be the only Google fan hoping to see a release of Chrome.

Karnataka Elections 2023: The Handslide

  The Congress party won the 2023 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election by a landslide, winning 126 seats and forming the government. The BJP, which was in power for the last five years, was reduced to 39 seats. The Janata Dal (Secular) won 37 seats. There were several reasons for the Congress's victory. One reason was the anti-incumbency factor. The BJP had been in power for five years, and there was a lot of dissatisfaction with the government's performance. The Congress was able to capitalize on this dissatisfaction and win over many voters. Another reason for the Congress's victory was its strong local leadership. The party had a strong organization in Karnataka, and it was able to mobilize its supporters effectively. The BJP, on the other hand, was seen as being out of touch with the people of Karnataka. The Congress also benefited from the fact that it was able to project a more secular image than the BJP. The BJP has been accused of being too close to the Hindutva

Are CRED Rewards a Sham?

  CRED is a fintech startup that offers a credit card bill payment app. The app is designed to make it easier for users to pay their credit card bills on time and earn rewards. However, there are some concerns that CRED may not be good for consumers. One concern is that CRED encourages users to spend more money than they can afford. The app uses gamification and social media to create a sense of competition among users. This can lead to users spending more money in order to climb the leaderboard and earn rewards. Another concern is that CRED's rewards program is not as generous as it may seem. In order to earn the most rewards, users need to pay their credit card bills on time and in full. However, many users may not be able to do this, especially if they are struggling to make ends meet. Finally, CRED's privacy policy has been criticized for being too vague. The policy states that CRED may share user data with third-party partners, but it does not specify which partners or wha
