Hi Ubuntu, this is my first blog post with you. You look so cute !! (  but, I know I can not judge your personality from the way you look like, I need to know you  more, before I can decide if you qualify as my best friend. But let me tell you, first impression was very good. )

One of my friends, Binny V A helped me to get you installed on my laptop. You were  friendly and helpful from the first step the very last one.

I am not really new to Linux and open source, I know your brother Fedora for  3 years and we  are still good friends ( we meet every day at office ).

Yes, installation was easy, but I had to spend hours to correct the screen resolution issue. Finally, got it fixed, ( by 3 in the morning btw ) and now, you look really beautiful.

I hope you enjoy my blog and laptop !!

Google released their very own open source browser today. I was eagerly waiting for it’s release like many others, because, we expect the best from Google.. right ? I  kept reloading the browser tab on Chrome’s URL, but it gave 404, not found error all the time, and finally, google reader sent me the official release post. Or if you go to google.com, you will see an announcement there too.

Installation was pretty easy. Click “Download”, Agree to TOS, and then, wait for few moments to get it installed.

So, Google Chrome is ready on my Laptop. Let us test it now. First website ? Okay, we will try, gmail.com. Was it fast enough ? YES !! Google Chrome works little faster than firefox. But that was just my first impression ok ?

Google Chrome has a lot of new features to offer. Like, the way of tab design, ( you can drag your tab away and make it a new window itself ) etc. If you need a full list of new features, go here.

“There is a little bit of me in AOL mail”. Well, thats true. They have ads too !! like I have on this blog. Is it really bad to have ads ? hmm I would say, No, but when I open my inbox, I am expecting my inbox first and not just ads.

First Impression ?

Yes, opening your mail will not take you directly to your inbox. You see a copy of aol.in’s home page along with some ads. So my first impression was not that good. But it could’een better if they avoided that right – left scroll ( I really hate when I have to scroll left – right on a web page ) Continue reading →
