I recieved my Dell Mini 10v last week and used mydellmini.com forums to rightfully install Snow Leopard. Well, it worked without a glitch and now it is
the cheapest Apple Netbook you could purchase.

And there was a BLACK – friday and I purchased this Dell Inspiron Mini 10v right from iPhone. I intend to use this for Moblin & Mac OSX. I will try to post the unboxing and various steps involved in re-purposing this mini. Moblin is a slick Netbook OS I intend to use for everyday computing and Snow Leopard is my favorite OS and I love getting a $250 Apple Netbook with SL running on top of it.. wow..

Found something to post here eventually…actively finding answers to problems in www.stackoverflow.com, So I thought I’d post a flair from that site in here!

After a long time, I am just stopping here to say that I am active in Twitter. Apart from the updates here I am investing some time in exploring into the ever famous Ruby on Rails.

Well past two months have been a little busy workwise. Got a new manager. Preparing for the big Software conference thats happening next week, and many more things that needs no mention here. Now that we are well into the last quarter of the year, things should ease out soon.. I am hoping to do more frequent updates here.  Oh and btw, i am enjoying the touchsmart pc in the kitchen. so far so good…

Today, 5th of September, my wife and I celebrate our wedding anniversary. Its been some of the best moments of our life together. To commomerate this day, my wife surprised me with this wonderful piece of technology..

While most of the Americans are getting back to work after the labor day (that marks the end of summer), Google blogs about its open source browser, Google Chrome with a comic that explains the whole architecture behind this browser.

I had to wait for all the morning for Google to release the download of Chrome. And yes, it was 12:00 Noon and Google Chrome site started working with a link to download. This browser is getting released simultaneously in over 100 countries and it has various language options too. I saw Hindi in there. 

Chrome uses Google Gears framework and the installation was pretty smooth with no noticeable dialogs to fillup.  The interface looks clean and as many others have noted, the tabs are above the window. There is an option to import all the settings from firefox, which is good. One of the features I like the best is the memory stats that this browser provides. You can use this to see if there is any extension or any tab that leaks memory.

For the nerds, it even has a detailed performance metric that compares with other browsers if they are open. I tried this test with opening the same two pages in Chrome and Firefox and the results are here..

And Chrome also allows you to create application shortcuts. Application shortcuts are similar to saving links to your desktop, however, now the links open with a self contained window without any toolbars and such. For those of you who wish GMail was an app or GDocs was an app. You can now create applications for all Google products you like (Maps, YouTube, Calendar, etc) and its not constrained to Google alone, you can do this for any webpage that you like.

Well, I hope browser extensions are allowed for Chrome and I get some good extensions come into Chrome.

Enjoy downloading Chrome guys.. 

hmm.. after watching Kuselan.. its been kinda low for the past two weeks to talk about anything here..I dont want to bring the thought of that money theft now..

Happy Independence Day to all Indians out there… to all 1.2 Billion and counting people.. Lets be proud of India.

It’s Friday and we are in the theatre to watch Kuselan. Good to see the local distributors chose cinemark to screen the movie. Dasavatharam was screened here too. Alright, I’ll watch thalaivars movie and see how it fares.

Got to go…

Finally the wordpress app for iPhone is out today. I was waiting for this app to be released since I heard about this in Steve’s keynote. Well it’s here now and I intend to explore all features of this app. Testing the post with a photo from my library.
