Google Shows: New Chrome OS Notebooks

The Chromebooks, which aim to compete with rivals like Apple's iPad, are made by Samsung and Acer and range in price from $350 to $500 in the US. Google said they also went on sale in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands.


While the Chromebooks feature webcams and USB ports, they both lack hard drives, envisaging a model in which users will do all their computing online. Users store their files in the cloud using Google's free online software like Picasa for photos, Gmail for email and Google Docs for word processing spread sheets and slide shows.


The computer is activated by using the Google log-in. This means that documents, bookmarks and other preferences remain identical on whatever Chromebook one uses, as well as in different Chrome browsers used on other computers.


Boast an impressive eight hours-plus of battery time, start-up time of less than 10 seconds, and minimal risk of viruses and malware.


Chromebooks won't be right for everyone, but for some users, they'll be a welcome change from the tethered-down and often bloated world of traditional PCs.

Google Chrome Security Updates!

Security UPDATES for GOOGLE CHROME:

There has been a series of security problems so google has come up with fixes, as usual its in beta so there would be issues which google would automatically fix it.

Google has update to its Chrome browser to fix some security problems.

The new version, 0.2.149.29, replaces the 0.2.149.27 that was released when Google launched the Chrome beta version last week.

"Users do not get a notification when they are updated...When there are security fixes, it's crucial that we update our users as quickly as possible in order to keep them safe. Thus, it's important for us to not require user intervention," the company said in a statement."There are some security fixes that we'll keep quiet because we don't want to disclose security vulnerabilities to attackers."


Reported vulnerabilities

#1 One security problem found in Chrome version 0.2.149.27 is a carpet-bombing vulnerability that could help an attacker install malicious software on a user's computer without giving the user a chance to accept or reject the download. Google assigned the problem a top priority.

#2 Another reported issue in Chrome 0.2.149.27 is a buffer overrun that could allow an attacker to run arbitrary code on a user's computer and thereby take control of it, according to Bach Khoa Internet Security.

#3 The company was willing to discuss some other details about the update, though. For one thing, the company updated a JavaScript problem that could cause problems using Facebook. For another, it fixed a problem that would crash the entire browser if a person typed "about:%" into the address bar. Google called the problem "non-exploitable, but very annoying," reflecting the removal of the "security" label from the bug report.

Why?

* The SPEED of the browser the amazing speed i just can't belive
* The browser saves lots of memory when u compare it with Firefox u can see google would be miles ahead.
* The browser would also show u results in thumbnails whatever sites u visited the last time.
* The most amazing and coolest factor is the real time search,,,,,,,,,what i really mean is u can type in the Address bar itself. For example : where many people use to type http://www.xyz.com at that bar u can now type directly the ur search queries for example : type in the bar "seo" and u will get results instantly,,,,,,,,now that's not seen in any of the browser Damn,,,,,,,,,,,,thats a great idea............
