Google Reader

After all the requests, signatures, announcements, one of the very good service from Google, the Google Reader will be retiring tonight. When I logged in today I got this message,

Felt sad to see this. I had been a regular of this since many years. So finally I logged in today and deleted all my feeds. Make the life of Google a bit easier.

I hope Google changes its mind. And hope that other of my favorite services like GMail, Search Engine, Google Maps, Google Earth, Google Documents also do not face the same fate as the Reader.

Google has a browser. CHROME

Google has a browser finally. It has been a long wait. It was surprising that this net company which has become famous with its no-nonsense products, was lacking a browser. Firefox somehow filled the gap all these years. The browser is still in beta. Now GMail is also in beta, so don't know when the beta tag will go away from Chrome. Yes the browser is called Chrome. As of now only the windows version is available. I tried it on XP and Vista, and it worked fine on both. (It is meant for these two OS only). Just to extend my luck, I tried to download it on Windows 2003, but it failed. Linux, Unix versions are yet to come. To download you can go here.
