I was sharing my screen with my friend in US using the free remote desktop sharing tool Yuuguu. Well the name of this tool is quite weird i dont know why its called so. Its yugu with double u’s . Below is the screenshot of how the screen looked when both of us were trying to see each other’s screen . Quite a good loop.  Click on the image to enlarge it .

Today i noticed when opening Yahoo homepage with Internet Explorer that yahoo is recommending Mozilla Firefox 3 . I am not getting why is Yahoo telling us not to use Internet Explorer and switch to Firefox. I guess the reason for this is Yahoo has made downloadable Yahoo Customized Firefox 3. They could customize firefox easily because its Open Source but the same they cant do for Internet Explorer . You also have observed such message at top of Yahoo homepage if you use Internet Explorer.

Today at Google.com homepage i saw a link to Koshi flood which has affected Nepal and India . May be the link was shown to me based on my Geolocation ( the IP belongs to India ) . This is a good initiative from Google’s . Thanks Google.

Google’s own open source browser Google Chrome released today. I downloaded it and had a good browsing experience . I opened some of the sites and those are being displayed fine . The browser seems quite light while using but in real its not the light browser . Seeing at the installed file size its the most bloated browser i have ever seen . Google Chrome is taking near about 64 MB of space . This much of data was downloaded when i was installing the browser online . Thanks to my 2 Mbps connection otherwise it would take lot of time just to install . Mozilla firefox is taking just 24 MB of hard drive space . The internet explorer size inside the vista Program files folder is just 3 MB ( amazing but i dont belive this . Some other files must have been put somewhere else by windows ) . Opera browser takes just 13 MB of hard disk space in windows .

Download size of Opera browser is just 8.5 MB and that of Mozilla firefox is just 7.8 MB . But Google’s browser download size is 64 MB . And Google Chrome needs you to be online to install the software . There is no standalone install package file for Google Chrome browser . I hope Google will reduce their browser size and release a stadalone install package when Google Chrome gets out of Beta.

I have a plugin installed in my blog which detects Commentators Browser name , OS they are using and Country . But i made a test comment using Google Chrome , from using WIndows Vista . Its normal that the plugin will not identify the browser but what about the operation system its showing me Mac OS X . Is it that Google chrome is emulating Mac OS X when it runs in Windows ? and Oh what the browser uses Safari like base ?
