Google complaints against MS Vista

Google lodged a complaint against windows Vista saying it is impossible to turn off Vista's built in search and that it is affecting the performance of other desktop search programs like Google Desktop Search.

The Google spokespersion says

The search boxes built throughout Vista are hard-wired to Microsoft's own desktop search product, with no way for users to choose an alternate provider

It was tricky on the part of MS but I dont think it will affect Google much and I dont understand what's the whole fuzz about something so small.

Windows of the future

Now that Microsoft has released its latest Windows i.e Vista,It will be releasing the next windows Windows Vienna on 2009

It was actually announced on Feb 2000 but just like Vista it faced a lot of delays.

The next in line is codenamed Blackcomb named after the world's #1 rated ski-resort in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada.

It is considered to be a revolutionary release i.e having innovative new features never before seen features unlike other releases which were evolutionary in their way i.e standing on the shoulders of previous versions

Vienna promises us to bring features never before seen like GroupBar that will replace the Taskbar and Pie-Menu type circular Interface.

UI

A new and better content control UI

The Firefox team is considering to remove favicon from the location bar, and changing the location bar so that everything except “Public Suffix + 2″ is greyed out.

Private browsing will allow users to surf privately without any browser sessions being stored locally. Also to indicate private browsing sessions the look of the location bar or even the whole Firefox theme may change away.

Hello World

Many people love to code.They feel honoured when called a code geek and they have wallpapers with lots and lots of code.

One programmer like this from Germany created the world's largest hello world code in a crop circle.And he did a good job too.

The guy decided to show the words “Hello, World” in the form of a Semacode, in a Crop field, so that they are visible in aerial photos. Semacode is basically a visual code or a bar code that can be interpreted using machine language
