Five Reasons Google Chrome OS will Succeed

Jared Newman Nov 20, 2009 10:15 pm Google's Chrome OS doesn't signal the apocalypse for Apple and Microsoft, but that doesn't mean the operating system won't succeed when it arrives next year. Just like the Chrome Web browser, Google's carving out a small slice of the market for people who want the company's buzzwords of speed, security and simplicity. Over time, the legion of Chrome OS fans will grow, and Google will look at its operating system as a success, not a failure, as my colleague Tony Bradley argues. Editor's note: PC World contributor Tony Bradley takes an alternate point of view in his BizFeed blog " Five Reasons the Google OS will Flop " . Think they are both wrong? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Here are five reasons Google Chrome OS will succeed: Price Google still hasn't said how much Chrome OS machines will cost, but there are a couple things to remember: First, the operating system is free, so netbook m...

The Powerful Guide to Finding Your Passion

“The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play.” - Arnold Toynbee Following your passion can be a tough thing. But figuring out what that passion is can be even more elusive. I’m lucky — I’ve found my passion, and I’m living it. I can testify that it’s the most wonderful thing, to be able to make a living doing what you love. This will be the thing that will get you motivated to get out of bed in the morning, to cry out, “I’m alive! I’m feeling this, baby!”. And to scare your family members or anyone who happens to be in yelling distance as you do this. This guide won’t be comprehensive, and it won’t find your passion for you. But it will help you in your journey to find it. Here’s how. 1. What are you good at? Unless you’re just starting out in life, you have some skills or talent, shown some kind of aptitude. Even if you are just starting out, you might have shown some talent when you were young, even as young as elementary school. Have you always b...

Quest Software’s Unicode (UTF-8)

Please make note of the following caveats Toad for Oracle supports any single-byte character set. Enabling UTF-8 does not automatically cause issues with Toad. The use of double-byte or multi-byte character does not automatically result in issues with Toad, provided that the Oracle database Client/Server configuration settings are in synch. For instance, Toad for Oracle is used extensively in Korea and it works well. Issues can arise with certain combinations of the Oracle client NLS settings and Windows regional settings. However, they seem to occur only when inserting or updating data (there are some scenarios in which data retrieval can cause issues). This makes it crucial for the database, client and OS to be in synch with any internationalization settings. In addition, when using UTF-8 data in the editor or a grid, a font that supports the desired characters must be selected as the default font. Mono-space fonts (also known as fixed-width or non-proportional) will not support...

लण्डनमा तुहिँदैछ सपना

आइतवार, 08 नोभेम्बर 2009 12:35 निहिता कार्की यो पत्र कोरेको दिन अक्टोबर २७। मैले नेपाल छोडेर अध्ययनका लागि संयुक्त अधिराज्य बेलायत आएको ९ दिन भयो। तिहारमा प्यारो भाइको निधार खाली राख्दै, आमाको अनुहारभरि आँसुका ढिका खसाउँदै भाइटीकाको अघिल्लो दिन कतार एयरवेजबाट उच्च शिक्षा हासिल गर्न यहाँ आएकी थिएँ। लाग्दैछ , मेरा सपनाहरू तुहिन थालेका छन्। मैले बुनेका सपनाका महलहरु भताभुङ्ग हुँदैछन्। मैले सोचेको बेलायत र यहाँ आएर हेर्दाको बेलायतमा धेरै अन्तर रहेछ। स्वर्गको कुनै ठाउँ छाडेर नर्कमा आएकी रहेछु भन्ने आभास हुँदैछ। कसरी सुनाऊँ, यहाँ मजस्तै नेपाली विद्यार्थी र नारीले भोग्नुपरेको दुःख, व्यथा? जति लेखे पनि कम हुन्छ। आँसु आउँछ, मन भक्कानिन्छ तर सहनुपरेको छ। सात वर्षअघि जनयुद्ध कालमा विद्रोहीको आक्रमणमा परेर मेरा बाको निधन भयो। बेनी आक्रमणको त्यो नमीठो घाउ निको नहुँदै २०६० सालमा माओवादीको बम विष्फोटमा परी आमाको दाहिने हात गुम्यो। भर्खर नौ कक्षामा पढ्दै गरेकी ममाथि सारा घर -परिवारको र ५ वर्षको अवोध भाइ सम्हाल्ने जिम्मेवारी आइलागेको थियो। एउटा हात गुमाए पनि मलाई मेरी आमाले दुःख, कष्ट गरेर बाह्र अर्था...

How to keep your Facebook profile private?

Earlier this month, an 82-year-old man in Auburn, Calif., was scammed out of $5,200 because his Facebook profile was too forthcoming. The first thing I did after reading his tale of woe on the Auburn Journal site was to examine my own Facebook profile from a stranger's perspective. I didn't like what I saw. What I saw was too much, so the second thing I did was edit my Facebook profile to remove some personal information and further restrict access to it. Unfortunately, the process took longer than I expected. A Facebook privacy makeover begins by hovering the cursor over Settings and choosing Account Settings. The Settings tab shows your name, contact e-mail address, and other basic information. The Networks, Notifications, Mobile, Language, and Payments tabs are self-explanatory, although I unchecked several of the Notifications options that were selected by default. The real work begins when you rework Facebook's privacy settings. Hover the cursor over Settings and choo...
