I am browsing/working/researching/Googling/just spending my time in Google Chrome. To be honest, this is second to iPhone that i have fallen for, without much deliberation. Anyway, i am in the middle of something and I need to desperately figure out what “Skeuomorph” means. I type it in the omnibox, at least thats what i intended to, and all i see Wikipedia page for it instead of search results.

Of course that would happen because i am in FireFox. I would be perplexed if i were in IE though! some stupid search results for domain names would have annoyed me even more! Damn it, how did i end up of FireFox? Dint we break up yet? Oh yes, Chrome is still iffy with few sites - Cant watch Family Guy on FOX On Demand and other very useful sites I’m sure.

I guess it might take some time for FireFox to be truly replaced. Then again, good job Chrome! If you got me hooked to you and got me wanting to break up with FireFox, you have come a long way - very easily, quite charming i say!

Even though i click on the shortcut/application that should launch Chrome, there is no process that runs on its name….then a little permutations and combinations of killing few processes worked!!

If you kill the process named “citivan.exe” (leave ctfmon.exe alone!), Chrome will launch normally. I am typing onto my blog from Chrome, so it works! Oh well, sneaky ways to chop off non-Microsoft products huh?

-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!!!

Just look at the pictures of the people who have “used” Gmails “custom Time” feature! Ha Ha! Nice work guys!

I hope no one i know fell for that! I have been waiting for a read receipt  or a delay on sending emails, but not this! Definitely funny!

What hilarious?? lol! Check the quote from this years gmail pranks’ page:

How does it work?

Gmail utilizes an e-flux capacitor to resolve issues of causality (see Grandfather Paradox)

We rely so much on our primary email. All my account details ( countless details of endless things that might be used someday in the future…. or NOT!) are up there. ALLL THE STUFF is up there. I dont know what or how they are important, but its my EMAIL !!! How can i stay without it???

So, i start googling on the error code, and NOTHING!!

well, what do i do if at all i lost access to this account? will i survive without all this mess of a thing called my EMAIL ACCOUNT?? ok, gotta calm down, its just junk. I can live without it. Yes i can. Yes. NO!!!!

Can i live without being online? Without being able to check my bank statements online?

Without checking the weather before i step out?

Without being able to recharge my cingular prepaid ( 25$ for 23$) at comfi.com ??

Without being able to blog?

Without checking the number of visitors i have on iaintablonde.com?

Without checking the comments on my posts and feeling happy??

NO. I CANT!

Google bought DoubleClick for $3.1bn (£1.6bn)!!!!

(Doubleclick helps link up advertising agencies, marketers and web site publishers hoping to put ads online.)

Now that it is taken over by Google, i have to wonder, is it trying for a monopoly long played by Microsoft??

All the these things that Google comes up with- i can only say wow. Google is sucking up all the innovative aspects of an online market for a long run. Maybe someday we will surround ourselves with the monopoly of Google. Someday where Microsoft is forgotten….that makes me think, is Google into making an OS yet?

But a discrete one is my favourite. UofL uses Novel Groupwise and the Read-Reciept feature deosnt ask the intended recepient to click in a dialog(which is really annoying!!).

This happens in Lotus Notes and few other mail-apps. But i like the silent one.

There are a lot of times when i need to know if the mail sent is opened or not!! With this feature, I know what i need to know - whether the mail opened or not. The intended receiver doesn’t need to know that im anxiously waiting for the mail to be read!

Im sure every one has an occasion or two to need this feature. It is also less obtrusive than a phone call !!

If you are the person sending a rather critical piece of information via email, it is nice to know that the recipient did indeed get your communication and that it did not get lost in cyberspace. Often, I don’t need a response right away from the emails I send, but it is comforting knowing that the email was received.

Ofcourse it has to separated from work and play. Now how annoying would it be if your girlfriend sends you email with “Read Receipt” ?????
I think this will be a cool add-on if it doesn’t involve the annoying-clicking-process from the reciever. Wonder when google will add this!
