Google Chrome is back to be the everyday browser you need.
Lets just have a glimpse on what is new ?
The most common thing people look for in a browser is - the speed. Google Chrome stable version was just good enough but it was not as good as the apple's safari. But the new Chrome 2 Beta is just no less than Safari now. The speed tests have proved that Google Chrome 2 beta is just in line with Safari. And its in the Google Chrome developer team itself announced that its twice as fast as its previous version.
Auto-fitting of two windows is one more new feature. I don't understand any use of this feature though. Just drag the tab out and release the pointer just near the other Google Chrome 2 window border. You will have 2 Chrome windows side by side equally fit to the screen.
Full screen browsing runs smooth and fine.
Zooming is lot better that is appreciable. For the previous versions, zooming meant increasing the font size. But with Google Chrome 2 Beta, you can zoom into pictures too.
A disappointing news for the Mozilla users is the add-on thing. Add-ons are not implemented even in this version and this drawback can keep the Mozilla lovers far from Google Chrome.
I personally love Google Chrome for its simplicity and beauty in it.
Try and see... Google Chrome 2 Beta.
Google Movie search
www.google.com/movies
Hey, movie search by google. Search any city and you'll get it. Its so easy now. No sign-ups nothing. Just get into the website and see what movies are running in which theatres. Very simple! :) Enjoy your weekends now. Life is so easy :)
But the fact that all the theatres are not included is a drawback. Though, multiplexes are not missed. Good thing by google.

Google Gears - Offline Gmail
I always love Google for its extreme ideas. That is why my blog has lot of posts on Google stuff. Google gears is an offline way of handling Web sites. The best one is the Google mail. Gmail.
Now you can access your Gmail inbox while you are offline. Here is an how-to guide for that.
Step 1: Go to gears.google.com and install Google gears.
Step 2: Open your Gmail inbox with any browser. And go to the labs section. To go to the labs section, click on the green conical flask shown on the top-right of your screen along with options like 'Settings' and 'Sign out'.
Step 3: Enable the 'Offline Gmail' option here. And then save changes.
Now your account will be reloaded with one more new option called 'Offline' near the labs 'settings' option. Clicking on that will take you to the Offline mode. When you do this for the first time, all your mails, attachments photos and everything will be copied on to the system. So don't enable this option if you are using public computers.
Now you will have a shortcut to Gmail on your desktop. Click that. Login. Then go Online and your new mails will be downloaded to your system. You can then go back offline and check your new mails.
If you have lot of mails in your inbox, the first time download is a painful task. Try it! :)
Google Gears is not just confined for GMail. There are lot other websites that can be handled with Gears.
