Google Chrome is Out Guys - New Internet Browser

Hey Guys, this is out now and pretty cool on the looks and usability fronts. I am talking about the new internet browser from Google Inc. : Google Chrome. Has got a user interface which gels well with leading operating systems viz. XP and Vista both. Nice bubbly edges and features that again remind you of the funky cool side of the developers at google and the casualness that they carry in order to make the product more appealing to prospective users. Features include Google suggest (receive results as you type), Favorites or bookmark pages been showed as thumbnails and desktop shortcuts for your most visted web-applications.
Get a first hand view of it here. and get to learn more about it here.
And when you go and customize it from options, very user friendly and I must say beats Firefox on the friendliness face..

New RBI Governor Appointed

As the current Governor Y.V.Reddy's tenure ended yesterday on Sept 05 '2008, the Indian government appointed finance secretary Duvvuri Subbarao as the new governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
A news article in Economic Times mentions that "This puts an end to speculation over who would take over the reins of the central bank from Mr Reddy, whose tough but sure handling of monetary policy has served India well in these times of global financial turbulence." However if we go by one of my previous posts titled 'About India's Inflation', Ajay Shah has mentioned clearly that the current monetary policy has not been good of lately.
Now since Ajay's and Economic Times statements are litle contradictory in natue, then, is the UPA Government again out to fool the common man? Or may be, out to fool only the relieved Mr. Y.V.Reddy? Ponder it yourself.

About India's Inflation

Ajay Shah, A Senior Fellow at National Institute for Public Finance and Policy, New Delhi has written an opinion about India's Inflation in Wall Street Journal's September 02 '2008 edition. Quite interesting for those who understand terms of economics.

Windows Vista eBooks

I have recently upgraded myself to Windows Vista. Found it pretty difficult to handle initially. But now I am getting hold of Windows Vista and its features and annoyances for many.
I know I am being cyniccal saying that Windows Vista is good, but trust me it really is(provided you can bear up with the hardware upgrade that it makes mandatory) good.

I found some eBooks online for Windows Vista which have helped me alot working my hands upon Vista features. Quite useful an can be obtained by clicking

Happy Vistalating! :)
