New chrome 11

        Hello everyone, i don't have much to say in this post, so i will keep it as short as it can be. As usual, nothing interesting going on except for the routine classes, and my nephew's thiruvilayadalgal. Thats it, nothing more.
        I saw some movies this week, out of which Ko was good, but to be honest, the movie was like 75% puthiya mannargal ( old movie ) and then the story starts. The last 25% part was really good, and so the movie is good time to spend. Not like the other super heroes' dabba movies.
        Next was Just go with it.. It was nothing less than amazing. ( If you don't like the movie, never tell me or hit me ). For a moment i started to think who was hot, whether it was Jeniffer Aniston, or the other girl. It was two good hours of laughing even if  the story is what we already know.  The picturisation in Hawaii is simply mind boggling(atleast for me). In simple words, Don't miss it.
        Now for some tech bits. I am trying to get a good twitter application for my Nokia E72. Unfortunately, none of the applications that are available are good. First i tried Tweets 60, which was good for two weeks, then started to hang every time i use it. Then i tried Trill, which is not that good because you need to refresh it every time to receive your tweets. And recently, both didn't work, and both started to hang. Then, i decided to go for the omnipresent Snaptu, which was good, but one flaw. It takes too much time to load. Even with 3G, I don't like the idea of loading your 9 apps only with internet, after you have launched that application. Also, it takes too much of hand circling around head to reach your nose.
        Finally, i decided to go for m.twitter.com, which was way better than all the other applications. After adding a bookmark, you can launch it just like an application. I realized that twitter website itself has applications, but it is for higher class people. That is, those who use iphone, ipad, blackberry, and android. In short, celebrities.
        Now, to discuss about the topic. Google chrome launched its version 11, with some language translation with voice, which i am yet to find; but the news is that it has patched some 27 malwares, for which it has given a reward of $16,500 to those who notified Google of these malwares. Update your chrome, but i am yet to discover how many of us will really use that voice thing.
        I recently installed all those add-ons of Firefox which i mentioned in my previous posts. Apture highlights, instant fox are the new additions to it ( ya, i found out the name and installed ) . Only thing, I don't use firefox now a days. FF is boasting that its version FF4 has reached 100 million downloads. Seriously, i don't know what are they thinking. They have to see how many of those 100 million actively use Firefox for everything. Answer, not me, not now a days.
        I am thinking of trying Ubuntu OS on my laptop and see what are these open source platforms all about. I am just thinking whether my champion super laptop can handle it.  If i do, then i will let you know about Ubuntu.
        There goes the short blog. If you think it is long, never mind. You have already wasted 10 minutes before you think so. Having two classes this weekend. Enjoy your weekend.. Will catch you soon. 

Long one..

       Hello everyone, well, i should say hello to 2 or 3 people who follow this blog. But recently i found out that my page was viewed from USA, Russia ( once) and South Africa ( once ). Thank you everyone for wasting your precious time in this stupid blog. I am really happy that some people have actually viewed this blog across the world.
       What i have been doing these three weeks? Yeah, i have been asking this same question to myself. I joined speed class, first class was really boring, second class was good, now continuing my usual routine. In the meantime, I have been to some temples. Infact, three temples in four days. Make it four in four for my family. Yeah they have been doing a lot so called outing, and most of the outing have been to temples. Where else can you go as a family in chennai, when you have seen all the four malls, then T.nagar shops  and beach? ( well, my family have become regular customers for New Saravana stores and Pothys).
       The first temple was Nanganallur Hanuman Temple. I like that temple always. The view of Lord Hanuman always signifies power in his looks and also humbleness with his hands praying. Also, the taste of sakkarapongal given there. Its simply awesome. Nothing less than that. With a taste of ghee in it, they have made my mind to visit the temple again and again. Actually, i went to my friend's place and with him went to the temple. After i got the sakkarapongal and started to eat, for some moments, i wasn't able to hear what my friend was speaking to me. Then i realized, namaku than saapdum bodu kaadu kekkathae :P
      The next was Triplicane Parthasarathy Temple. I wanted to go to that temple for a long time, because the same friend likes that temple very much and told many stories ( ofcourse, i dont remember any ); and finally i went to that temple after x no of years. While on the travel, we had two scratches to our car, then there was crowd in that temple, but finally i saw the Holy meesai vaitha Perumal there. I have to visit the temple again when that temple is free as i didn't have an experience of going to that temple peacefully.
      The third is Thiruninravur Bakthavatsala perumal temple. Well, Thiruninravur is 35 km from my place, but it took nearly two hours to reach in that traffic. We finally made to that temple when the temple was about to close, the temple officials waited for their last minute pooja, and i heard its one of the holy 108 divya desam temples of India. Surely, don't miss that temple. It is good to visit atleast once.
       My sister and nephew have went to my native place, and they had a good drama when they went in domestic airlines. The domestic airlines rules state that everyone should checkin before 45 minutes to one hour, which they change to their leisure, and my sister was five minutes late for the check-in, and was made to buy another ticket in Jet airways. The loss will amount to some 4000 rupees, but seriously, we are angry with Kingfisher for doing so. Take this, Madras to madurai, 50 minutes flight, you need to checkin before an hour, so you have to start before two hours, and when you go out, it is another one hour. Therefore you lose precious three to four hours in just waiting. For that, i would say, Trains are far better. Airlines are better only in cases where you can avoid 2 days train travel. Otherwise, don't book in flights unless you are a lady and taking your kid alone. Waste of time. Waste of precious money.
       I casted my vote in the recent Tamilnadu elections, and lets see who comes to power next month. I am really happy when Trisha was made to wait for 20 minutes to caste her vote. Seriously, they  are also humans like us. They are not Gods. They also have to behave the rules of nature, pardon me, rules of ques. But some of them were angry because, people, even when they can walk well, they were going ahead saying they were senior citizens. I was waiting to see a physical fight in my polling booth, but then the police made all to wait except for the very worse senior citizens. Thank god, they only had senior citizen reservation and not BC, MBC, SC, ST for this election also.
      Now for some Tech news. Rockmelt launched and updated most to their beta 2 version. The features? New Twitter app, which is extremely cool, and the change in chat box pinning them to the lower end of the browser. Those who haven't used rockmelt, try once. Live life. Enjoy technology if you like social networking.
      Opera launched their new version saying it is fast. I actually don't find it faster than chrome. But i have to say, Opera are really innovators.. Nowadays, seeing all these browsers, I am really angry with Firefox, not for being pioneers, but for stealing others' ideas. Example? Their appearance is just like Opera. Not enough? Recently they recommended their Top 10 favourite addons. One among them is i think Aspert heights or so, ( i don't remember the name, please search later ) its feature is simple. You type g and then word in address bar, and it searches in google. b and word for bing. a for amazon. Seriously, this is your recommended add-on?? It is way cool, but if you have used Opera, you will know the reality.  Because, that is a feature of Opera's previous  10th edition.Opera deserves those credits. Also, firefox is having some trouble in loading some important webpages. Like some examination websites, or websites where you need to print, dont use firefox. It fails miserably. Not because it is worse. The webpages are not upgraded, but firefox has to bear these in mind. Not webpages. All these has made me to hate firefox recently and not to use it.
       If you use Chrome or Rockmelt, try to use an app called Bluum. I am not gonna say what it is, just find out. Just the usual search thing.  Its way cool except for that purple theme. There is no recommended browser right now, everyone keeps adding one thing or so, and the winners are us, for using these features.
       Thats it for a long blog. Time for studies and Poonam pandey. Now come on, where are you??
