Google has released beta versions of its Chrome browser for Mac and Linux. Google makes clear that Chrome Brower is easy to install, and each extension runs in its own process to avoid crashing or significantly slowing down the browser.
Google first unveiled Chrome in September 2008 but it is only for Windows. Chrome for Mac and Linux were released in June, but they did not include Flash support and did not has any other required feature. Google takes great care to make Google Chrome a native application for Mac. Grabowski and Pinkerton said the Mac team was focused on delivering rock-solid depth in a few critical areas for the browser, rather than a breadth of feature that are rough around the edges.
For the Linux Rakowski said the team again focused on speed, stability, and security, but given that most engineers use Linux machines, Google wanted Chrome to be a high-performance browser that integrated well with the Linux ecosystem. Kegel and Martin warned that those who installed the less stable, dev channel version of Chrome for Linux should uninstall that version before downloading the beta version. Google has also made a beta version of extensions available for Chrome in Windows and Linux.
Intel’s New CPU With 48 cores on a single silicon chip which marks the future of cloud computing. Intel’s Tera-scale Computing Research Program contains 48 cores on a single silicon chip. Intel engineers envision this multi-core chip as the future of cloud computing. As all 48 cores of this postage stamp-sized chip use 125 watts at their maximum performance, the advent of similar chips could herald a new era of energy-efficient, smaller data centers, making cloud computing less expensive and more portable. Using only as much electricity as a single Intel processor, this experimental chip could enable future generations of laptops.
Intel plans on sharing 100 of these prototype chips with researchers in order to develop software specially honed for the 48-core chip, but details of the prototypes’ availability to industry and academic experts are yet to be released.
Applications for these chips include the rapid processing of images, allowing for new methods of interacting with computers with a camera, rather than with keyboards or mice. Virtual dance lessons and more intuitive controls for video games could become commonplace for laptops. With so much processing power available in a small area.

India ended their miserable Twenty20 World Cup campaign on an embarrassing note with a 12-run defeat against South Africa –their third straight loss in the tournament– in a low-scoring Super Eight match here.
India’s star-studded batting order failed yet again as they could not chase down 131 runs that would have spared them the ignominy of finishing their Super Eight campaign without a single win to show.
In the end, 118 was all they could manage losing eight wickets.
This was after India’s disciplined bowlers — eight of them were pressed into action — had restricted South Africa to 130 for five on a sluggish track, last night.
Going by their start, a defeat never looked like a possibility for India. With Gambhir wasting precious little time in imposing himself and his aggression rubbing off on Rohit, India were off to a flying start till the mid-innings collapsed happened
Gautam Gambhir (21) and Rohit Sharma (29) gave India a strong start but it was Yuvraj Singh’s run-a-ball 25 that actually rekindled India’s hopes of a win in their swansong tie before the defending champions faltered.
