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:
- All that is available on the internet is not free. Respect the copyrights, patents and IPRs.
- 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.
- Sharing your views is different from sharing someone's work by stealing.
- 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.
Edited to add the most important note (
comment by Sudipta):
5. The point is that one can quote a para or two at most to say something. Re-posting an entire post is copying -- if you like a post so much, write a small two liner post about that post and redirect people there -- you don't need to copy paste it all. That's copyright infringement.

The comment made by me
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.

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.
Snapshot of Google browser
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.
Scott McCloud, the famous cartoonist, came up with comics on this. Read the comics
here and
