GOOGLE WEBBROWSER - CHROME

Google have launched web browser Chrome. Lets review it !
Google leaked news of the browser yesterday by releasing a comic book (by comics legend Scott McCloud) describing the design decisions that went into the new browser.

For users, Chrome is a brand new web browser with blazing fast load times and a minimalist interface, designed to highlight page content over (ironically) browser chrome. Customary browser features are tucked away behind clever user interface elements, most of which are easily discoverable as you need them.

For developers, Chrome uses the same WebKit rendering engine as Safari, but bundles its own screaming fast JavaScript engine, called V8. The browser's common ancestry with Safari will help to reduce the testing burden on developers of a whole new browser, but when testing is required, Chrome includes a DOM/CSS inspector, an HTTP profiler, and a JavaScript debugger.

Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.

Google says one tab is indepenedent of the other. Even if one page in one tab hangs , it wont affect the other tab.
It will be downloaded as 475 Kb file and on installing it will be downloading from Internet. It took me around 3-4 minutes to download in 2 MBPS internet.
Youtube loaded fantastically fast. WOW...I loved it.
When I tried www.orkut.com. This is what happening. How will I login to Orkut ?????

Split Tunneling

Split tunneling is a computer networking concept which allows a VPN user to access a public network (e.g., the Internet) and a local LAN or WAN at the same time, using the same physical network connection. This connection service is usually facilitated through a program such as a VPN client software application.

Binding Handler is Invalid ASP.NET

This issue happened when I tried to run the ASP.NET website which I created. This happens with the Visual Studio 2005 debugger.To solve the issue , it's very simple

-> Start> run > services.msc
-> Start the terminal service.

I have seen many of my colleagues say something like "I don't want to enable the Terminal Services service because it’s a security risk".Enabling the Terminal Services service does NOT automatically enable Remote Desktop. If you want Remote Desktop disabled, then uncheck the remote desktop checkbox on the Remote tab of the properties dialog for My Computer. By default, Remote Desktop is disabled on Window XP, so unless you have gone and enabled it, it should already be disabled on your computer.The Terminal Services service is enabled by default because in addition to the Remote Desktop functionality, it also provides for Remote Assistance, Fast User Switching, process listing, DCOM support.

So why does the debugger rely on the Terminal Services service? The answer: Process listing. It turns out that the TS team provides the best task list API in Windows. Both tasklist.exe and taskmgr.exe use the TS service for this, and so it was natural for the debugger to follow their lead. Previous versions of Visual Studio got their task list through other task list APIs, but it turns out that this only works well if you run your code as LocalSystem. This was fine at the time because we had a service. However, for improved security and stability, the debugger got rid of their service for the 2005 release, so we needed to switch to the TS process listing API.

Hibernating Issue in Windows xp

Computers running Windows XP with more than 1 GB of RAM may fail to hibernate. The best way to describe the problem is by the steps taken and the response from the system.

1. The user requests the system to hibernate.
2. The system appears to think about it for a couple of seconds.
3. As the system tries to switch video modes, just before displaying the “Hibernating…” progress bar, the Windows Exclamation sound plays.
4. The video mode switches back, and a dialog box opens with the message:
   Insufficient System Resources Exist to Complete the API.

fter the problem occcurs, the hibernation option is no longer available to the user. In fact, the hibernation tab normally found in the Power Options is hidden until the next system reboot.

I have read the same solution over and over: Apply this hotfix or update your system to Service Pack 2. Unfortunately, I am beginning to wonder how many of these recommendations are coming from users with less than 1 GB of RAM. I personally use a desktop and laptop computer, with 1.25 GB and 1.5 GB of RAM respectively, and both exhibit the problem regardless of the applied hotfix or SP2 (which includes the hotfix). If you count two of my friends who also have this problem, I know of four (4) computers that are adversely affected. In other words, with the only fix currently available, 100% of the computers I have access to are still broken!

Update: Microsoft has released the hotfix to the public. If you have been needing the hotfix for a language other than English, you may now download it directly from Microsoft’s website.
