Google Chrome 2 vs Firefox 3

Hey guys as you may have heard Google Chrome, the popular webbrowser has just unveiled its updated version, 2.0, which by the number switch from 1.2 to 2.0 We thought we were going to get alot of changes, but unfortunatly not much changed.
  • New form remember
  • More stability
  • More friendly towards more websites
  • Added remove thumbnail option to first page
  • Now has full screen mode
And thats all the improvements it has, and ive been testing Mozilla Firefox 3.5 for a while, and i own Beta 4 and this is what has been added.
  • New private browsing
  • Stability
  • New tab function improved
And all that plus speedier browsing. Now for the comparison between firefox 3.5b4 and Chrome 2
  • Private browsing vs Incognito window [ DRAW ]
  • Speed [ CHROME ]
  • Stability and Wide range of sites that work correctly [FIREFOX]
  • Addons [FIREFOX]
  • Simplicity [ CHROME ]
And thats all i have to say. Just keep these in mind while choosing your browser.

Ubuntu 9.04 Quick-Review

Hey guys, i just tested the new Ubuntu 9.04 for about 5 minutes and i must say, it is really improved from the last version of this free open source operating system. When i first started up Ubuntu i noticed there was a new loading bar, YES! A new loading bar. HOW INTERESTING. Well as soon as things loaded up i started testing. First off i realized that it did not pick up my wireless adapter (yes i know they were supposed to fix that, but it still didnt pick up mine) So then i browsed through the programs, happy to say, it still comes with the same package of programs. Firefox, Pidgen, GIMP, and more too! Then i tried to change some system settings, and thats when i found out they implemented a bit of Vista into this one, i changed a system setting and then a popup came up saying : You have changed a system setting, are you sure you want to keep it this way? Reluctantly i pressed yes. So without internet i was pretty much bored so i started looking at the little things, and then thats when it hit me. A new wallpaper, YES No more deer its now. BROWN LINES :) But of course in a nice pattern. So all in all i think the makers of Ubuntu really did good on this one and deserve a pat on the back. I must say, I like it!

Why Windows XP?

Well, as you may know i am running windows xp and have no reason to upgrade to Windows Vista or Windows 7. Why may you ask? Well although windows vista has very good security, its features are not as stable as windows xp. There are also more features in Windows Vista or Windows 7, but seriously. An operating system that uses 1 GB of RAM and takes up 15 GB of space?? Where as windows XP takes up 3GB of space and uses very little RAM. That's why i use Windows XP
