Every now and then when a windows auto-updates kick in, the immediate thing to follow, most often than not, is Google Chrome failing to start!!
I know I should probably turn off the auto-updates on the OS but hey, if its Windows OS, if it is from Microsoft and if it has the words ‘update’/'patch’/'hot-fix’ in it, Ill take em! Who am I kidding – I’ll have to take em!
So, here I am(that reminds of Bryan Adams and the soundtrack of ‘Spirit’ – which now makes me want to watch the movie for the 29304283 time!! Oh you gotta love collaboration of Bryan Adams and Hans Zimmer !! ….and now back to the topic ->), on a rainy & humid Monday morning, as soon as I log-in, I see a balloon in my task-bar saying this PC is fresh off a Windows update!!
The first thing that comes to my mind you ask? “Oh crap! I hope Chrome works!!”
Not its not much of a surprise that I see Chrome just doing nothing when I click on the icon! Its as if Monday blues are spreading its powers onto my desktop too .. Oh well, here we go again:
- Browse to Chrome application directory at:
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome
- Renamed the Application folder
- Reinstalled Chrome again.
As expected, its bunnies and sunshine and rainbows again! Well..not really..its still Monday; and its still raining!! How I wish I was snuggled up warm in a blanket!

I accidentally did this and found a capture of screen-shot in my photo  library. .. Apparently if you want to take the screen shot of a page you are currently viewing, you could just press and hold the iPhone’s Home button, and then click on the Sleep button on top of the phone.
Again, to capture the screen you are currently at:Â
- Hold iPhone’s Home Button
- While holding Home Button click Sleep buttonÂ
The screen of the iPhone will flash briefly white while a screenshot is captured into the photo library.(You can see the screenshot on the camera roll area of the pictures folder.)
Isn’t this neat? Well, then again, what am going to do with such a feature?Â
-Capture anything online via safari for wallpaper!
- save settings of an account – email/calendar etc
- capture snapshot of my bank accounts while logged in any bank-app so I don’t have to log-in more than once a day
-capture any error thrown by a third party app for reference
well…this small list is a good validation that it IS a cool feature!

Since the debut of Google Chrome, internet is swamped with its cool features, reviews and what not. I don’t think this is going to cool off anytime soon. I do realize that Chrome is in beta and to complain is too early 
I am just being me, so here are few pointers for improvement in future updates maybe?
-Export options: Well, just as we can import bookmarks from FireFox/IE, it would be great to export as well – at least until we have everything needed updated on Chrome.
-A gazillion add-ons/extensions like in FireFox: We all know how how millions are addicted to FireFox and other browsers alike. I personally cannot live without Fox marks, Sxipper, Google notebook, Scientific calculator sitting on the status bar! Ill stop the list just with these to avoid digressing too much. OK, maybe not gazillion or millions, i am lazy to lookup the stats, Google yourself!
-Some sort of integration with google accounts (Gmail/Calendar/Docs) directly onto the interface of Chrome?
Thats for now, i am sure there are more to come..for now i am pretty much happy with whats already included: love the tabs as separate process each with its own resources, clean and simple (shiny!!) interface, and its from GOOGLE!!!

I am starting a ‘BUY ME A LAPTOP’ Fund to get me one.
Maybe not the ASUS Lamborghini VX2 , its 15″ and 5lbs+.
But definitely the luxurious leather collection of ASUS W6Fp Series. This 13.3 in. baby weighs only 1.86 kg!!!!
When do i get to lay my hands on you??

Since i came across this piece of heaven, i am dying to have one. Just look at it!!
You could google for the reviews, i liked the ones at cnet.co.uk , engadget.com
Have no idea why they are not releasing it in USA. Come on people, it looks awsome!!
And for all those laptop wannabe owners, consider ASUS a good option, if not a knockout-other-brands option!!!
There are simply amazing state of the art masterpieces with Santa Rosa platform and amazing specifications!!!
