Google Browser Chromium Alpha For Linux

The team that is developing the Open Source version of the Google browser for Linux has finally released the alpha version of the Internet browser. The Chromium for Linux version was in pre-alpha stage for quite some time. Even the pre-alpha versions of the Chromium web browser were fairly stable but the alpha release marks a new milestone in the development.

The new version of the Google browser is still lacking several features of the Windows counterpart. Some of the most important features that are still missing are plugin support, printing, complex tab dragging, complex text and Google Gears support. The release notification contains a notice that additional parts of the web browser are incomplete and that users should keep this in mind before installation.

Interested users find information on how to add the Chromium builds to their Linux distribution at theofficial Ubuntu Chromium Daily Builds website. Let us know your opinion on the new version of the web browser if you are a Linux user and installing the Chromium build on your operating system.

Memories form Wikimania 2008

Verse 1

At first I was afraid,

I was petrified.

Kept thinking I could never write with wiki style guide.

I spent so many nights wondering what I had done wrong.

So far along,

I thought my writing was so strong.

But now I'm back

From that namespace.

I just logged in to find you here and now my article's replaced.

I should have wiped my User_talk,

I should have fought that CSD,

If I had thought that just one second you'd be back to bother me!

So go on now! Revert away!

Just go patrol now.

'Cause this one could be a GA.

Weren't you the one who tried to speedy my new page?

You thought I'd crumble,

You thought I'd fly into a rage.

Chorus

Oh no, not I!

I will revise!

As long as I know how to source,

My page will stay alive!

I'll do as I've been told:

I'll be calm and I'll be bold,

And I'll revise.

I will revise!

Verse 2

It took all the skills I had

Just to write this part.

Kept trying hard to mend

The pieces of my stubby start.

And I wrote oh-so-many rants,

Just feeling sorry for myself.

I used to cry,

Now I just post on AN/I!

And you see me,

No longer new.

I'm not that clueless little newbie

Still just flaming you.

And so you felt like logging in,

Just expecting to delete,

Now I'm saving all my edits

For someone to help complete!

Chorus

Oh, and I!

I will revise!

As long as I know how to source,

My page will stay alive!

I'll do as I've been told:

I'll be calm and I'll be bold,

And I'll revise.

I will revise!

Simple GIF with GIMP

New in Labs: Inbox preview

Whenever I open up my inbox at work, I'm never surprised to find several new messages waiting to be read. The same thing can't always be said about my personal Gmail account. Sometimes I end up checking my mail only to find nothing new there.

No big deal, really. But now imagine that you access Gmail on a super slow connection from a remote place in Ethopia where it might take minutes to completely load your inbox. The disappointment is larger when you find out that there is nothing new to read and you could have saved all that time.

To ease this pain a bit, we created a new feature in Gmail Labs called Inbox Preview. While Gmail is loading, a simple, static preview of your inbox with your ten most recent messages is displayed. Turn it on from the Labs tab under Settings, and if you're on a slow connection you'll know from the start if it's worth the wait.
