Its been a long time since i wrote my last blog.. Many things have happened in the mean time.. Say starting from my nephew returning to Germany, to the CSK vs RCB cricket match.. I was really happy that day watching the IPL 2011 finals in Chepauk with my friends.. That was the first time i watched a match live.. Ofcourse, the cost was little bit on the higher side for the lowest ticket.. But who cares, sometimes, you need to go and enjoy rather than thinking about all these things.. The highlight was that, on the day of IPL finals was the champions league finals also, where Barca simply thrashed ManU.. Hail the great Messi!
I have been wasting a lot of time recently, thanks to day dreaming, or night dreaming, or whatever you can call that.. Also had loads of fun hanging out with friends.. Chennai has been seeing some rain recently.. Infact, heavy rain.
Now on the techno side. If you want to see a person who is a nomad among browsers, count me in. Seriously, i have been confused with the recent updates of Chrome and Rockmelt, as to use which browser on a day to day basis.. Rockmelt updated to its beta 3 yesterday, which is simply awesome to use for social networking. Starting from the better chat engines compared to the previous versions, to the integration of message, notification and facebook friend requests, Rockmelt is showing us a tremendous change as to what a social browser can do. You will notice that the top 3 symbols in facebook as well as the chat option on the bottom corner would have vanished if you use rockmelt. Yeah, they have integrated it, and its awesome.. No need to be in facebook, but you will be alerted everytime. Is that a disturbance? If you think so, then just click the one key Quiet mode. Isn't that awesome?
Well, if thats on one side, then take this. Chrome also updated to its version 12, and the highlight is, Google is launching its voice search for desktop ( works for Chrome for the time being, and it is not rolled out yet, should wait for a few weeks ), and the Instant page feature. It is not Instant search as we already know, it is the instant page that will preload the page when you already type something. These have seriously made me think as which to choose between Chrome or rockmelt. The twitter feed in rockmelt, is still buggy for me. Hope it gets rectified.
Google voice search is already there for mobile phones. Just go to m.google.com from your mobile, and see whether your mobile will support the web app. If so, then try the voice search. Its location based, guys.. Its definitely worth a try, though we need to speak clearly because of the Indian accent. It supports only U.S English, i think.
Left Firefox? Don't worry. Seems Firefox is hit with a virus scam. Also there is this New facebook scam, so don't open anything regarding Newfacebook. Microsoft has issued some serious updates for Internet Explorer all versions. Apart from that, nothing new with the browsers. One thing, if you use Opera for mobile ( not mini version, the other one ), then you can definitely sync Opera on your phone with your desktop.
A word from my experience so far. For viewing results, I mean, the examination results ( India has some of the worst servers, and so, more web traffic, and constant crashes with the website ) I would recommend to use Chrome. When other browsers can't open a webpage when the website is up, Chrome does the trick. I have checked this for quite some time. For social networking, its worth to try Rockmelt. For everything else, Chrome rules for the time being. We will see some new things soon.
