Google Operating System by 2010 official now

Wow... some 5 years before, I got forward E-mail message from one of the group which says, Google is developing there own operating system which included some screen shot of the OS as well. However, later I read some article/news (somewhere) saying, Google market is to work on Internet arena and certainly not concern about developing standalone application. But today, it seems like the secret been revealed.

Yes, Google said, they going to release their own operating system by the middle of 2010 - "Google Chrome OS" and it's going to be "Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS," (BBC)

Very good news for all the web users like me & you however, bad news for Microsoft... Because Google is going to be an open source license agreement. In a coming month Microsoft going to release their next operating system Windows 7 for few dollars. But still expensive compared with free... lol...

Btw., I am wondering, I use Microsoft Windows OS to work on Visual Studio (VS), SQL server kinds of software since it is my career. Will the Google Chrome OS support these software? I am afraid, it is not going to be.

So as my career progressing into developer, I have to stick with Windows operating system. How poor we developer are? At least, it would be great, if Google netbook come up with an option of having dual operating system runs in their machine. If this happens, then I will use Google OS for Internet browsing (because I believe, Google application will be faster and safe) and kind of virtual machine software to work on VS or any other development software for programming purpose. Let's be patience and see how it is gonna work for us...

Really cool one! You sing a song and it creates the music for you, which matches your voice. So could I say now, I am a good singer? lol..... But the idea is beautiful and I like it very much... Today... I am going to download this software and try singing myself whole night... Hope, my room mate won't get disturbed... ;)

Web 2.0 - One Millionth word in English

The news says, "Web 2.0 crowned one millionth English word". Before I go further, if you don't know what is Web 2.0, you could take a quick look at my previous article here (Click Here). Web 2.0 is the way how you using Internet today. For example, Facebook, Orkut, You tube, Blog, New Channels, etc., like you can post the message in orkut community and some one from the community replies you back instead of administrator or owner of the orkut web site. I assume, everyone knows what web 2.0 means... If not then it's not a bad idea though having a quick look at this video.... (Web 2.0 video)

Alright, moving to what I actually what to say is... criticism started coming for web 2.0 is being crowned for one millionth English word. Some are:

"I think it's pure fraud ... It's not bad science. It's nonsense," Geoffrey Nunberg, a linguistics professor at the University of California at Berkeley, told reporters"

This list included "Jai Ho!" an Indian exclamation signifying victory or accomplishment, and "slumdog," a derisive term for children living in the slums of India that became popular with the Oscar-winning movie "Slumdog Millionaire."

To me, the criticism makes sense. How come the version number 2.0 could be the word "web 2.0" in English? Nevertheless, it is easy to criticize and web 2.0 rules the today's Internet world, that's how we connected now through this blog :-) More over, web 2.0 is my career.

Wolfram Alpha -> 1st "Answer Engine" not "Search Engine"

Last week my colleague asked me, have you heard of the new search engine??? I said, ah... I know they are lots of search engines available in online.. tried many but I always prefer Google which I consider the best one so far... at least to me... then he asked me... so how many Answer engine I heard of it? Oops! Interesting... so what’s this answer engine is about? He said.. “Wolfram Alpha” which came as a big technology news in BBC.. when you search for something in Google, it throws you thousands of results directing towards other websites. However, Wolfram Alpha gets the exact result for the content we looking for instead of re-directing us to some other website and look for the content on our own.

For example, I tried typing.. “Napier University” in the wolfram alpha search box and it gave me the following result

Hope, you got the fair idea when you had a quick look at the above image. Yes, it gave the result of the web address of the Napier University (www.napier.ac.uk), location of the University, Students strength, established year, etc., SAVES TIME! Isn’t it??? In fact lots of time because usually, if someone wants to know about University, they have to go from one page to other page to gather all these details.

The below image shows the result of the same Napier University search but in Google.... which you all very familiar about it....

Google is the Giant in this Internet world... So, I have a feeling that they may buy WolfAlpha in the near future... ;-) anyway it’s my personal wish... Why should I open a new website link to search for the content, let it be an added feature in the Google search engine itself... “Google-WolfAlpha Answer Engine” how does it sound?????
