Google Chrome OS’ Debut Most Likely to Happen Next Year

Chrome OS, the most anticipated new operating system from Google may not get launched until next year. Although the consumer launch is most likely to happen next year, Google yet has to bring out their branded ‘Speedbooks’ running the new system. Google has been planning for this launch for two years making it quite uncomfortable for both Apple and Microsoft. The Chrome OS was positioned initially to capitalize on the network revolution. However, it seems to be overtaken by events. Apple on the other hand hasn’t been manufacturing enough since the time they launched iPad and they see these devices as a future frontier for media consumption. Now, why is Google aiming for two mobile operating systems? It has emerged that Google has joined hands with the US telecom leader Verizon as an effort to launch their own iPad killer device which will be based on the Android operating system. Still, we are confused as to why would Google want to have two ultra portable operating systems for tablets...

New ‘Social’ Web Browser Launched by RocketMelt

RocketMelt, a new upstart browser service, now aims to provide an enhanced user experience for their users with built in social media integration tools.

This new innovation is a fresh take on browsing, ever since browsers were created. This is the first browser, which users, when they log into, will unlock their web experience with Facebook friends, feeds, favorite serv...

One Domain Dominating Google Search Results

It is not known whether it is a test or a bug, but recently Google has allowed a single domain to dominate the first page of the search results on some brand related searches. The domain of course is a well known brand, ‘Apple’. In the result page, seven out of the 10 natural search results came from apple.com. Some news and shopping results were mixed in and the 8 to 10 spots were occupied by other sites. But this occurrence of so many results occupied by a single domain is something new. The same result appears to take place when you search on other brand related searches and it doesn’t happen with other brand searches not related to Apple. If you remember, just a couple weeks ago, Peter Norvig of Google had specifically talked about the need for diversity in search results. However, Google is keeping mum about this case. This patent may mean that the search engine giant recognizes when a search query, which involves a particular entity and again if the entity is associated with a sp...
