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.

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.

And the technical details about the crash are

Google seams to be in the continues process of updating their user interface for search results. Some time back they changed the UI of image search (later reverted back) now its time for web search. The search results page in Indian locale is looking again some thing different today. But these changes are not available in other locals of Google. They moved the type of search options to the left hand side. Even though this looks good for appearance, it is unnecessarily blocking left margin till the end of the page. I checked for .com and .uk versions but this new look is only available in “http://www.google.co.in” as of now and for only web search. The image search and other are same as before. But why they applied this look change only to web search and not for the remaining  search types in indian version?

Yesterday while watching IBN news channel, the news flashed regarding the controversial OBC quota in educational institutes, that the Hnbl. Supreme Court has given stay on the quota bill. Seems to be a good news to the nation particularly for Talented. I personally feel that the purpose of reservations is already achieved and necessity of the same on “cast basis” is totally wrong in these days. I think Mr. Arjun Singh has done a blunder in this regard [dirty politicians]. He might have wanted to gain some political advantage from this. I doubt how far he is going benefit from this decision.
    If experts think that the reservations are compulsory for this country, then i support “Reservations on economic basis”. It doesn’t mean that unqualified, incapable and untalented people should be taken into account. The govt should give reduction to a certain percentage of expenses like fees/hostel/maintenance. Even though the hbl. SCs rule seems to be intermediate, lets see what happens in the final verdict.

నెట్ స్నేహితులకు అందరికీ శ్రీరామ నవమి శుభాకాంక్షలు. ఈరోజు ఉదయం నిద్ర నుంచి లేసే టప్పడికే (6:30am, బ్యాచిలర్ ని కదా!) Ram Temple నుండి భక్తి పాటలు వినిపించడం మొదలయింది. ఈరోజు office వుండడం తో Temple కి వెళ్ళడం కుదరలేదు. My office starts from 8:30am to 7:15pm. 45 minutes journey to office. so i have to start at 7:00am to catch the bus. ఇప్పుడు ఇంటికి వెళ్ళగానే మొదట చెయ్యవలసిన పని, స్నానం చేసి Temple కి వెళ్ళడం. ఇన్నేళ్ళలో ఇంత లేటుగా temple కి వెళ్ళడం ఇదే మొదటిసారి. ఈసారి వీధి లోనే కాదు office లో కూడా పండగ వాతావరణం లేదు, ఎందుకనో? Atleast i expected a festival atmosphere from the female colleagues. పండగ అంటీ అందరూ తలారా స్నానం చేసి, అందమైన చీర కట్టుకుని, తలనిండా పూల తో వస్తారని అనుకున్నాను. ఊహు… అంత సేన్ లేదని అర్థం అయ్యింది. ఓక్క దాని మొహం మీద బొట్టు కూడా లేదు (fashion అని తెలుసు కానీ పండగ రోజు కూడానా!) పైగా tip top గా modern dress ఒకటి. అంతే ఇప్పుడు ఆడవాళ్ళు కూడా దేవుడిని మరచి పోయినట్టున్నారు! అంతే ఎవరికైనా valentain డే లు గట్రా గుర్తుంటాయి గాని పండగ లు ఎలా గుర్తుంటాయి? ఓ రామ్, please save my country and my culture!

       Sometime back while googling i came across a post about krunch in downloadsquad. It is basically an online compression tool like zipmyfile. But the additional feature is you can zip any file from internet site. In my work place the download of .exe files are restricted but there is no restriction of downloading zip files. I was using this tool to download the .exe files whose absolute url is known to me [This is an advantage which many bloggers forget to mention in their posts]   Well done Kailash Nath, the creator of this great tool. Unfortunately for the last 1 month the site is down and the message shows that the account is suspended. I hope this site will come back soon. If comes back i have one feature request to Kailash.
There should be a provision to include a custom extension to the original file so that even .zip file down load is restricted then we can say download in file.exe.abc (just renaming to an extention) . How is it?
[If my admin restricts entire krunch site itself, then? ]

As expected india lost her match against srilanka yesterday and prepared to return back. One way our players are fullfilling our dream. They have taken our “Comeon INDIA” slogan as “Come back INDIA”. So, be prepared to welcome our heroes. నిజం చెప్పాలంటే india match జరుగుతున్నప్పుడు మధ్యలొ “comeon india” advertizements/slogans చాలా funny గా అనిపించాయి. అందులో మన heroes ని పులులు గా చూపించడం…. I think its not fare to pray for the defeat of Banglans against Bermuda in todays match. Atleast as a cricker “game” lover i am not going to do that. I feel the banglans atleast have the will to win. As Kapil Dev told, banglans have the right to reach super 8. మన వాళ్ళకి advertisement industry మత్రమే రైట్.
Note: మన team మళ్ళీ ఏదైనా Bermuda లాంటి జట్టు పై గెలిస్తే, every thing sets right. The same people will praise them, people will forget the defeat in worldcup.
TIP: So, india వచ్చిన తరువాత మన team చెయ్యవలసిన మొదటి పని ఏదైనా “Bermuda” లాంటి team తో tournment కి plan చెయ్యడం. ఎలాగూ గెలిచే chance ఉంది కాబట్టి మన అభిమానులు కూడా world cup సంగతి మర్చి పోతారు.
