Wah! After less than a year releasing Google Chrome browser, now the Google people is coming up with a new project – Google Chrome Operating System!

Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we’re already talking to partners about the project, and we’ll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve.

This is technology.  Second half of 2010, I can’t wait for this to happen.

Soon, we don’t have to wait too long to do data transfer to our machine or to whatever storage media we have. Just imagine, to transfer a 25GB HD movie will take only 70 seconds to finish. That’s really fast!

Yea, the next-generation USB 3.0 specification is slated to be introduced later this month and according to everythingusb, it will be unveiled next monday.

The USB 3.0 specification, a next-generation high-speed connection standard due in 2009, is significant because all future PCs and devices will use connectors based on it. The spec is also expected to offer 10 times the speed of USB 2.0–used in virtually all PCs introduced in the last few years–or roughly 5 gigabits per second.

[via CNet]

WinHEC 2008 has a a brief performance comparison sample for data transfer of 25GB HD movie:

• USB 1.0: 9.3 hours
• USB 2.0: 13.9 minutes
• USB 3.0: 70 seconds

Awesome!

I got this pos ekspress a day before Hari Raya, about 2 weeks ago. It was from ZULMALC !

A t-shirt?  Yes, it’s a Ubuntu T-Shirt which i ordered from melayubuntu. His blog is one of my favourites after Tombuntu, where I learned a lot about this distro, tips & tricks before I started to fall in love with Linux. Heh. I’m still new i must say, a 10-months old ubuntu user.

Ubuntu?! How to pronounce? Watch here .

Ok. Full stop.

Let’s have a look at the shirt.

At the back of the shirt, it’s printed there ” Ubuntu Malaysia, Linux For Human Beings“. Cool.

Now zoom..

..the front design. I like!

The latest version of Mozilla Firefox web browser, Firefox 3 released today. I’ve tried the beta version of Firefox 3 before in my Ubuntu (Hardy Heron) and what i can say, it’s not good enough. Few plugins/add-ons were not compatible (i dunno why Ubuntu 8.04 set Firefox 3 Beta as their default browser). Also a bit lagging when you open multiple tabs. Yea, i consider all that since it was a beta version. However it has improved! Still rocking lar, i must say. Much Better than IE7.

I’m sure this latest version of Firefox is getting better. Download for free. Hey! Don’t forget to spread the word about the Download Day, a mission to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours!

Woot! I’m going to..
