The operating systems that browsers run on were designed in an era where there was no web. So today, Google announces a new project that's a natural extension of Google Chrome — the Google Chrome Operating System. This OS can challenge windows and has advantages over Linux. It's Google attempt to re-think what operating systems should be.
Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks.It will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. They are designing power computers ranging from small notebooks to full-size desktop systems.
Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. This OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds. The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web. And as they did for the Google Chrome browser. Google going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don't have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates.
Google Chrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips and working with multiple OEMs to bring a number of netbooks to market next year. The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel. For application developers, the web is the platform. All web-based applications will automatically work and new applications can be written using your favorite web technologies. And of course, these apps will run not only on Google Chrome OS, but on any standards-based browser on Windows, Mac and Linux thereby giving developers the largest user base of any platform.
You can email instantly, without wasting time in booting up computer or browser to start up. You need not to worry for backing up the files. You can access you data from any place. No need to spend much time in configuring your hardware and it’s all you should concern for software updates.
It will be a good experience and benefits for users who spend much time on internet.

Successor Of Firefox 3.5 With More Features Is Ahead
Don't view Firefox developers as complacent, though. Performance improvements are of high importance in the successor to Firefox 3.5, called Namoroka, including fast launch speed, a Chrome advantage. The new version is scheduled for release in early to mid-2010.
Some of the new improvements for the successor of firefox 3.5:
1. Weave is a project to synchronize bookmarks, passwords, preferences, and other settings across multiple browsers, including the mobile version of Firefox, code-named Fennec. Weave also can sync personas, another new feature that lets people customize Firefox's appearance.
2. A project called Electrolysis is designed to improve isolation between different tabs and between plug-ins and tabs, improving security and reliability.
3. Jetpack is designed to be a new framework for add-ons that can be developed using Web page design standards. That's the same approach Google chose for Chrome extensions.
4. People use more and more tabs, and tab management is tougher, so work is under way to address the issue--perhaps with an automatically expanding or contracting tab list on the left edge of the browser instead of on a strip along the top.
5. Snowl is a system that tries to unify messaging operations, whether messages originate from e-mail, Web forums, RSS feeds, social networks, or other sources.
6. Ubiquity is designed to let Firefox interpret a wide range of formal or informal text commands, turning the browser into a more general window on the world.
Also, Firefox has some incumbent advantages of its own--enough market share that Web developers need to test their sites for Firefox compatibility and a range of add-ons to customize the browser, for example. Those are strong enough to keep people from rapidly switching away even if they're trying other browsers, too.

Three Best Real Time Search Services By Twitter
Twazzup:
Unfortunately, the Twazzup results page can be overwhelming to read, and it only searches twitter.
Collecta:
Collecta is a new real time search service that can search for twitters and many other sources. It includes searching mainstream media sites and also blogs. It additional features are super cleaning and simple interface. It also performs multiple searches at once and you hold bunch of sites and many topics each day. It can run queries in the background.
This real time search tool lacks query builder.
Scoopler:
In Scoopler results are ranked by popularity. It doesn’t have access to full twitter “fire hose” of data. It uses additional methods to pick new content. It pegs three queries to your page for quick access. It doesn’t run them in background like Collecta.
Scoopler also scans Digg, Delicious, Flickr, and Indentica. It earns a spot on my top-three list due to its clear combination of raw and ranked results.
.
Twitter search service
If there is a question “ how do you search in the net?”, most of the answers are Google. Even though a lot use google to search, but google lack in real time search(not yet provided). Neither Bing nor Yahoo posses real time search. To follow what’s going in the real world, you need a real time search. For a better real time search, Twitter and other sites, brings the latest updated world before you.
Twitter’s own search service
Twitter search service is easy to use and presents the results in a simple and clear way. This service is easy to browse. It can dig deeper into the net. It updates the counter at the top of the page as new tweets that match the search come, but you need to hit link to actually see the updates.
Twitter service has good query builder and appended with some advanced features and you can subscribe your search results through RSS feeds.
On the other side results in Twitter search service sorts results in chronological order. There is no algorithm to manifest most read, most linked, most authoritative, or most re-tweeted items. And it only searches twitter.
Remember Twitter is for special purpose search. There are many other do better job than Twitter search, and several other for special purpose.
