How to Run Google Chrome OS from a Thumb Drive [Chrome Os]


Last week we pointed you toward a virtual machine build of Chrome OS for anyone eager to play around with (the still incomplete) Chrome OS, but if you'd rather try running it from a thumb drive, weblog MakeUseOf has you covered.

Tech blogger Jorge Sierra details how to install Chrome OS on a bootable thumb drive so you can run it like any other live OS—like a Linux Live CD, for example. Keep in mind, however, that the build is still very young (and technically it's still Chromium OS), and even if you follow all of the directions perfectly, you may still run into some problems. For example:

Chromium OS may or may not work on your computer hardware. I did successfully run it on two home-built frankenstein computers (with ASUS motherboards), but it did not successfully recognize the network adapter on my Dell laptop. All of this work may be for nothing, if it ends up that Chromium OS does not like your network adapter.

Still, it's a fun little afternoon project, especially if you're eager to try Chrome OS. If you've played with a build since last week's preview, let's hear how it worked out for you in the comments.

Google's SPDY protocol will speed up the web - and Chrome OS, too

Over at the Chromium blog, Google has announced a project they've been working on called 'SPeeDY.' It's an updated transport protocol for the web which improves upon HTTP, reducing latency through network-fu like multiplexed streams, request prioritization, and header compression.

'We started working on SPDY while exploring ways to optimize the way browsers and servers communicate,' says the official blog post. It continues, 'We want to continue building on the web's tradition of experimentation and optimization, to further support the evolution of websites and browsers.'

It's not all about altruism, of course. Improvements like those Google is seeking with SPDY, the Go! programming language, and Native Client will all greatly benefit the Chrome browser and Chrome OS. After all, an OS which relies heavily on the cloud for access apps and data will certainly perform better with an improved protocol powering the client and server. It's probably a safe bet that Google would roll SPDY on their own servers early on to give apps like Google Docs and Picasa Web a performance boost on the Google platform.

Whatever the motivation, I'm all for more speed on the web. My ISP is obviously in no hurry to improve things on that front, so if Google can pull off the estimated 55% performance gain then I'm all for it. You go, Google!

Go, Google's Programming Language

After so many years of C language finally google has dared to introduce new language... Interesting??? then read on........................

"Some smart Google engineers decided that it's time to address the limitations of C and C++ by designing a new programming language: Go.

Go was born out of frustration with existing languages and environments for systems programming. Programming had become too difficult and the choice of languages was partly to blame. One had to choose either efficient compilation, efficient execution, or ease of programming; all three were not available in the same mainstream language. Programmers who could were choosing ease over safety and efficiency by moving to dynamically typed languages such as Python and JavaScript rather than C++ or, to a lesser extent, Java.

Go is an attempt to combine the ease of programming of an interpreted, dynamically typed language with the efficiency and safety of a statically typed, compiled language. It also aims to be modern, with support for networked and multicore computing. Finally, it is intended to be fast: it should take at most a few seconds to build a large executable on a single computer. To meet these goals required addressing a number of linguistic issues: an expressive but lightweight type system; concurrency and garbage collection; rigid dependency specification; and so on. These cannot be addressed well by libraries or tools; a new language was called for. [Language design FAQ]

Here's a Go program that outputs 'Hello, World!':

New updates on google calendar

I have a bad habit of missing cricket matches because i don't know when these are scheduled.

Google enhances latitude to show your previous locations

Google latitude is one of the feature which shows your current location from where you are accessing the internet.

1. Google is enhancing its latitude feature to show the history of your previous locations. For this you need to enable your history in the Google latitude page. It may not be useful for you but it will be very useful for your secret followers (your wife!!!! be careful).
2. Second feature of this Google latitude is location alerts on your mobile which is still in beta stage.
3. We can also enable location badge at location badge
4. Important and friendly feature to tell your current location to your friends is updating your location on GTALK. You can enable this feature here.

Here is the general introduction video of the Google latitude

Want to increase google storage??

Running out of memory in google?? Now you can get additional storage very cheap. Read on...........
"Google updated the pricing for the additional storage you can buy in Gmail and Picasa Web Albums: $0.25 per GB per year.

Storage
Price (per year)
20 GB
$5
80 GB
$20
200 GB
$50
400 GB
$100
1 TB
$256
2 TB
$512
4 TB
$1024
8 TB
$2048
16 TB
$4096

Here's some historical data:

Pricing (August 2007)

Storage
Price (per year)
6 GB
$20
25 GB
$75
100 GB
$250
250 GB
$500


Pricing (January 2009)

Storage
Price (per year)
10 GB
$20
40 GB
$75
150 GB
$250
400 GB
$500

Google says that the storage is shared between Gmail and Picasa Web Albums, but it's obvious that the additional storage will mostly be used in Google Docs, when the service morphs into Google Drive.

'While storage costs have been dropping naturally, we've also been working hard to improve our infrastructure to reduce costs even further. Today, we're dramatically lowering our prices to make extra storage more affordable. You can now buy 20 GB for only $5 a year, twice as much storage for a quarter of the old price, and enough space for more than 10,000 full resolution pictures taken with a five megapixel camera,' explains Google.

If you've already purchased Google storage, there's a good news: 'Your total storage will be increased according to this page at no extra cost. For example, if you had previously purchased 10 GB of Google storage, you now have 80 GB available.'

I wonder how much free storage Google Drive will offer when it's released.

Google Wave rocks with notches

After a great await, I got a Wave invitation today and I am so excited about it. I was really waiting for it from so many days. As Google is boasting, this Wave will really have an impact on the mail communication we are using these days. Wave is a integrated product with all the now a days needed features like mails, chat, file collaboration etc.
Wave will be good for people, who runs many thread of mails. There wont be any difference if mails are one to one. If there are active people in a chain of mail, Wave can show it a lot better.

To learn all about Wave, watch this video


this video is of 1Hr 20 mins in duration,

If you cant spare (even bare :P) that much time,
watch the below short form of it (this is just 7mins).



Wave is spreading at a great pace, there are already apps created for iPhone and other smart phones to access Wave. I have also seen a Wave notifier application for desktop which notifies new waves. And the most surprising, amazing and funniest is Gina Trapani from LifeHacker
came up with a Complete Guide to Google Wave. This book will tell u all about a Wave.

Hope this Wave will be available to all my friends, coz unlike a mail id the other guy to whom u wish to communicate should have a Wave too :(
And you can all wave me @ mmsreedhar@googlewave.com and thanks to Bhellsun for sparing me a invitation.

Google Talk to Add Video Conferencing

"Gmail Chat, the web-based version of Google Talk, added last year voice and video chat. The feature is now available in iGoogle and orkut, but it will probably be added to other Google services, as well.

SFGate reports that Google will improve the service significantly in the coming months.
Gmail's voice and video chats are now limited to one-to-one communications, but Google wants to broaden that capability to more than two participants and make it more robust all around for Apps.

'This [current Gmail capability] is the first step in a much broader set of features we hope to roll out over the next six to 12 months around video [and voice] chat capabilities,' said Rishi Chandra, a Google Apps product manager. 'It's a great opportunity for us to push that space along.'

It's not clear whether Google plans to integrate Marratech's video conferencing software, acquired in 2007.

Other features that will be added to Google's services: 'intelligent meeting scheduling in Google calendar', 'intelligent workflow in the [Google Docs] applications', 'lots of new functionality being developed especially around formatting' in Google Docs.
