US worried about China increasing cyber warefare capabilities

The Chinese clout is only increasing day by day, and that is haunting the US administration. A US Economic commission, a Government arm, has found a 20% rise in the Cyber crime against US websites in 2008 and it is expecting it to increase by 60% this year.
And most of the crimes originate from China, and the commission fears that the website breakers could be used as an effective weapon by the Chinese government in case of a war in the future.

From firefox to chrome

Did you know you can drag tabs from Firefox to Chrome, and vice versa? To drag a tab in Firefox to Chrome, simply pull the tab to a Firefox window from Chrome. To the contrary, ie, to drag a Chrome tab for Firefox, we must begin by pulling the tab on Chrome from the star (which is used to add pages to your favorites). This will come in handy when you want to close one browser and still continue the current task which you are performing.

The same technique works when you drag bookmarks and links from a browser to another.

Google Chrome OS

Yesterday, Google announced on its blog the launch of its new development project, Google Chrome OS, an open source operating system.

Google says in its official blog, the aim is to connect to the web seconds after reboot. The user interface is minimized and most of the stuff will work online. The OS will be compatible with most popular processors and Google is talking to producers of netbooks (Acer, Asus, HP, Lenovo, etc). If this succeeds it will definitely make a revolutionary change in the netbook market whicch primarily depends on windows as of now.

It is expected that the launch of Google Chrome OS will be in the second half of 2010.

The Mac Evolution

Interesting to see this image published in Wired magazine, where you can see at a glance the evolution of Mac computers (and the characters that/who promoted the mac in their respective seasons).

At first glance, it shows, especially the middle and towards the right, which had always taken care to present products visually attractive (attractive spreads, as we know, including their software). Definitely the Mac has evolved a lot in the twenty five years of its existence and today all other devices which we use are definitely indebted to the Macintosh in one way or the other.
