WOW, and really WOW, although it looks similar to firefox, but let’s talk seriously, IT ROCKS! Yesterday, I knew that Google has released the beta version of Chrome, Google’s Web Browser. Although I was shocked when I knew that the Linux version is not released yet, but I had to give it a try - I’m already giving it a try while typing this post -. The browser is fabulous and I expect it to be the best in less than one year. It has a lot of GREAAAT features, trying not to look to the GUI capabilities, when I saw this:
Chrome Memory Management
I was amazed!..So, try to have a look at the whole story.. and you have to watch this video..
I’m really waiting for the linux version, I think it will be extremely fast because of linux task management settings which I think can highly be utilized with such application.
Most of you know that my graduation team has been selected with another 239 team to join the MIE - Made in Egypt - competition, I have attended two sessions uptill now, Negotiation Skills and Mind Mapping which both were FASCINATING! The instructors are really great, they know exactly what they are doing and how to deliver it to the audience. I have learned a lot in the last couple of days really, I have been put in more than one situation that required being in action most of time.
For the first day, we were asked to create 9 teams, 12 different members from all universities per team and to start working on a case study which will have the IEEE Code of Ethics document applied to. The team had to choose a presenter to present the answers of the case study in 3 minutes, and to be judged in another 2. I was my team’s presenter and Al-7amdolelah it was really good, except for the last question which was about “my team members’ names” and it was a mess then :D, because I didn’t know anyone except Ahmed Sameh. We had a great show, and I think we were the only team who had a show, other teams had a technical presentation more than a showy one.
Today was another great day, I was sitting in my place when one of the MIE-2009 organizers which was reposnible for the event asked me to have another presentation about anything I can choose, and I chose Linux and it was really a great one, astonshing audience with how easy you can transform Linux’s GUI to a Windows’ and the desktop effects done by compiz-fusion. I had a great feedback about the 10 mins presentation and some folks from there asked to a way to start using linux and I was really happy to guide them.
Al-7amdolelah, Mansoura University has proven its existance in the Training and it’s still doing great stuff up there.
Today I got my requested Ubuntu CDs, I have requested the 32-bit Desktop and Sever Edition on 04-06 and they were here by yesterday and I have recieved them today. The set was covered in a way that you will really like and the whole set looks AWESOME!
I tested the system, through the live CD, but I had what I were expecting. I dun like GNOME, I’m more interested in KDE and I know how does everything can be customized or maintained in KDE - although Red hat’s support goes to GNOME -. I will need a huge motive to switch to Ubuntu, I had feedback from all - Ahmed Soliman, kamasheto, psycho and a lot of guys in CAT -. I believe that GNOME looks really cool, and the applications are more stable up there but it’s just a feeling that KDE is better
Anyway, I know that one day the idea will just pop-up and I will install the system, may be then I will be adicted to it like I’m adicted to fedora now :). Maybe I will install ubuntu then replace GNOME with KDE “Kubuntu”. When I get to such step, I will come back here and give my feedback about the system :).
