Google Chrome – Detachable Tabs

I started using Google’s Chrome  for the last 2 days. And I liked it very much because of its faster load and execution. Rearranging the tabs is a common feature in any tabbed browser like IE-7, Firefox. Chrome is gone little bit ahead and it offers detachable/attachable tabs. Yes, we can detach and reattach the tabs, and here is how…

1. Open multiple tabs as shown below

2. Click on the tab to be separated, hold the mouse and drag little down or up. Now the Chrome visually shows the tabs position as shown below

3. Once you see the above window, Release the mouse button.

We can also (re)attach the multiple chrome windows to a single window-with-tabs, by following the similar approach, but this time it should be reverse. We should drag the 2nd window’s tab (not the window itself) to the first window’s tab location to make it as a tab.

The Task Manager of Google’s Chrome browser is common for all Chrome windows. To invoke the task manager press Shift + ESC button on any active Chrome window.

Firefox 3.0.1 Crashed :(

My Firefox 3.0.1 is always getting crashed on my windows box. I never open more than 5 tabs when browsing, not sure of what exactly the cause but it is happening when accessing the http://java.sys-con.com web site.

The firefox’s built-in crash reporter is not able to send the details to firebox behind the proxy server. I updated to 3.0.2 today. May be this should resolve the issue.

Human Egg formation captured

mg19826604.200-2_567[3]

The moment a human egg is released from a woman’s ovary has been caught on photographic camera for the first time. The amazing footage was captured by Gynecologist Dr Jacques Donnez spotted it on the monitor during hysterectomy operation to a forty-five year old Belgium women. The images, which have been released by New Scientist magazine, have been described as a "fascinating insight" into "the beginnings of life". ‘The previous images on the same subject were taken on based on Ultra Sound scanning and are very fuzzy’ the New Scientist explains.

The reddish swelling seen in the image is a follicle, from which the egg (in yellow color) is released prior to its journey up the Fallopian tubes to the womb. Fertile women release one or more eggs every month, but until now, only animal ovulation has been recorded in detail. Dr Donnez said that some theories had suggested an "explosive" release for the egg, but the ovulation he witnessed took 15 minutes to complete.

Cricket – Nothing can stop…

They are youngsters and born in a place where cricket is considered as another religion. They had a lot of free time and are very eager to play cricket, but poor chaps, they had only two stumps and no bails at all. As you know that the Cricket require three stumps and two bails on both sides each. How can they play their favorite game? Don’t worry, they find a way.

Confused of That vs. Which & Will vs. Shall etc.,

Should i use “Will or Shall”? Should i go for “That or Which”? Too many questions…
DailyBlog network site started and managing a site DailyWritingTips to answer all these questions. You can also post your questions to get the answers from them. Here is a sample question from their site

When proofreading a peer’s article on the solar system, I realized that she, and I, are unsure of the proper use of “that” and “which” in a sentence. Below is two examples of the same sentence, one using “that” and the other “which.”

“To our knowledge, it is the only body in the solar system which currently sustains life, although several other bodies are under investigation.”

“To our knowledge, it is the only body in the solar system that currently sustains life, although several other bodies are under investigation.”

Which is the correct sentence, and what is the general rule of thumb?

Look at their site for the answers in the gramner section and get updated about many more questions like above.

US economy slowdown- The Impact on indian Software

I was into stock market for the last 2 years and doing trading on BSE and NSE through my broker HDFC Securities. Overall i was on good profits until January 2008. Suddenly i observed that in a 15 days span my profits are gone down to 40%. I came out of stock market by selling all the holdings and booked the remaining profits. Then only i realized the fact that USA’s economy is in worst phase and it it going to hit the Indian economy too.

I also receiving some news related to IT slowdown in India and companies are terminating employees to reduce their costs.  The company which i was working right now has a good strength and i heard that it did not terminated any employees even in year 2000-2001. During 2000 i used to work for another company and was one of the victim for pick slip. But very recently my company has terminated around 400 employees in their Hyderabad branch. Who will be the next??

If US is not going recover soon, i believe it is going to affect India too in a worse way, especially the IT industry because most of our IT customers are from USA. I used to believe our central  minister Mr. Chidambaram’s statements about Indian economy and >9% GDP growth. It seems very silly to me now. Isn’t it?

In one way… I am Feeling very lucky!

     It is almost 1 month since i last blogged. It has happened all of sudden. I thought i am going to enjoy my vacation and i did, but my fate is turned suddenly in final day of vacation and fell sick and hospitalized for a week. Let me tell you in more detail…

      Last month end i took one week leave from the work to enjoy with my family. I went to my native place in andhra pradesh which is almost 1000km away from bangalore. I enjoyed the almost 20hours train journey and finally reached in my native place. Enjoyed each and every second with my parents. Went on site seeing and roaming around the town. That day is a saturday and I was supposed to return back on sunday the next day evening by the same train. Suddenly in the evening at 4pm i felt like there is something abnormal in my stumock. It turned into a severe pain. I am sure it is not Appendix related pain. I know where the pain will exist in case of Appendicities. The pain is increated by night and gas is started coming out of mouth. After sometime the vomitings are started, and by next day morning i was almost lost all the energy. The doctor advised me to join in the hospital. After so many tests they are not able to make out what was wrong, but found that the pancrease is enlarged a little bit and there was not enough movement in the intestines. The doctor told this could be a side effect of other unknown problem. They kept me in the hospital for a week, Every day surviving with fluids in the form of celien bottles. Finally got discharged from the hospital without knowing what might have caused this severe pain. As per the suggestion from the doctor i was there in my home town for a month and return back last week only.

     Now if i think about the above problem i am really in a dilema whether i am luckey or unluckey. I am staying alone here in Bangalore. If that pain comes here when i was in Bangalore, i will not be able to think what might have happened to me. At that time i was at my home town and with parents so they took me to the hospital. Who is going to take care of me if i got it here? My office people or my boss or my friends or who?? That is why i told initially i am feeling luckey eventhough i suffer… There is a old saying “finding happyness in a deep sorrows” (telugu: kashtAlalO sukhAlanu vetukkOvaDaM)

Gere & Shilpa kiss controversy – 2nd scene

Some time back i blogged on the same here. Ok! now the scene is moved to hnbl., court. Warrants are issued against them, and probably they may arrest and put them in jail for 1 or 2 months, or leave them with some penalty. I am not going to comment on that. So what is the special about this post? Infact nothing, Already some frinds are commented on my old post. I just wanted to remind you about one similar incident which took place in december month of 2006. In that there is no hero and heroin, only heroins (?). Strike something? Let me remind you. The duo were kiran majumdar shah, the biocon CEO and vasundhara raje, the CM of Rajasthan. As some stated at that time, it might be just a greeting or our culture or you decide! You can see the complete new at IndiaTimes news paper.
