Google introduced themes for gmail inbox. Google came up with 31 themes on 19th Nov . Silver lining is one of their themes which is also my blog title!

How many of you have chosen Silver lining theme? :)

Recently, I installed an add-on, Chromifox, to the Firefox I'm using. Google's web browser didn't impress me except for its bluish appearance. The most annoying being Chrome lacks the google search tool present in Firefox right top. Hence, I'm sticking to my Firefox since I've had installed too many add-ons at ease. Moreover, I'm not able to upload the photos to flickr using Chrome. Don't know why Chrome isn't supporting this. :(


Here is an add-on to Firefox with the appearance of that of Chrome. Go, install..... and feel the difference ;)

In my earlier post: Copyright Infringement, I had mentioned that my blog-post was stolen and published on his blog without my prior permission. The person has now apologized and removed the post from his blog.

Today morning, he commented:

Hi Manasa...... Sorry for the belated response.I apologize U for copying your article without your prior permission. But I have mentioned clearly that it is copied from your blog.... I copied your article just to share good things.. I believe sharing the good things is the purpose of any blog... I have deleted the article of you( Its a matter of Trust)....


Once again sorry for that....
Take Care..

To be clear:

1. All that is available on the internet is not free. Respect the copyrights, patents and IPRs.
2. When you want to use photo or article by someone, please respect the person's effort and ask if you can use it or not; then go ahead. 
3. Sharing your views is different from sharing someone's work by stealing.
4. If you cannot write on your own, then better be off. But never steal someone's work and take credit.

To the copyright holders:
If you find someone taking an advantage of your work without your knowledge, don't hesitate to fight back. It's your hard work.

How do you feel when the content published on your blog is stolen by somebody without your prior permission? One of my blog post was stolen and published by this person on his blog without my permission.
Though, I commented on the blog, I haven't received any response so far nor my blog-post has been removed. Hence, I'm publishing it here.

I hold the copyright of both the textual and non-textual contents published on my blog. I even have the Creative Commons License below which clearly mentions that Non-Commercial No Derivative Works. I guess, the terms like Copyrights, Patents and IPR have no weight-age in our country and valid only in US or European countries.

Google, the god, sent one more messenger: Google Chrome. For people like me, who always relied on Google for my engineering projects and even for the smallest source of information, I have trusted and worshiped Google more than God :D

Google officially launched the web browser on 2nd Sep. I have downloaded the browser and exploring its features. Like all other google applications, Chrome is also in beta version.

For the past few years, I have been using Firefox, another open source browser, which provides the needful and most preferred compared to Internet Explorer, Opera. Though, I downloaded Safari from Apple, AOL, I vote for Firefox when compared to the features it provides. Flock is another browser which promised to provide such features, but nothing can beat Firefox.

The Chrome browser does not support the Adobe Flashplayer and lacks many features, hence in beta stage. Add-ons are not yet available.


It can be downloaded from here . Google developers have shared their experiences on their blog. Also, try to access gmail on Chrome.
