Google Chrome is too quick..

Today morning i installed Google Chrome and loved using it.So here are few things which i noticed.

• Easy to install:- As there is no much configurations required its very easy to install.
• Quick:- Just a click is enough it will open browser in fraction of sec’s koolllllllllll , this one i like most as its very fast in opening the browser.This this is because there are very few images when compare to other browsers.
• Developer Kit:- It has a developer kit which has 4 categories View Source,Debug JavaScript, JavaScript Console and Task Manager. Developer can work with JS using the JS console and Debug it ,but not as   kool as Fire bug.Task Manager show you detail data of memory used by each tab.
• Only tab get crashed instead of whole browser:-While browsing through any browser if any error occur while loading a site they crash whole browser i mostly get irritated of it,while here Google Chrome crashes that particular site alone. When i saw in Window Task Manager google is running each tab as a new task,so i think this might help them to to kill only that particular tab. instead of crashing whole browser .

Well this are the few things i noted in 1 hr usage of the browser.Few more things are discussed here.Have you tried it?????

Yahoo rejection letter to Microsoft…

YAHOO! BOARD OF DIRECTORS SAYS MICROSOFT’S PROPOSAL SUBSTANTIALLY UNDERVALUES YAHOO!

Sunnyvale, Calif., February 11, 2008 — Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO), a leading global Internet company, today said the Yahoo! Board of Directors has carefully reviewed Microsoft’s unsolicited proposal with Yahoo!’s management team and financial and legal advisors and has unanimously concluded that the proposal is not in the best interests of Yahoo! and our stockholders.

After careful evaluation, the Board believes that Microsoft’s proposal substantially undervalues Yahoo! including our global brand, large worldwide audience, significant recent investments in advertising platforms and future growth prospects, free cash flow and earnings potential, as well as our substantial unconsolidated investments. The Board of Directors is continually evaluating all of its strategic options in the context of the rapidly evolving industry environment and we remain committed to pursuing initiatives that maximize value for all stockholders.

Goldman, Sachs & Co., Lehman Brothers and Moelis & Company are acting as financial advisors to Yahoo!. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is acting as legal advisor to Yahoo!, and Munger Tolles & Olson LLP is acting as counsel to the outside directors of Yahoo!.

Well this is a good thing but will they stay to it for futhere higher bid of Microsoft..?
