Google Chrome Operating System – Images Leaked

Tashkeel — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 03:23:05 +0000

Google on 7th July 2009, announced to develop an Operating System which will be available for the customers to use somewhere in the second half of 2010. As per Google Authorities, it will be an open source, lightweight operating system which will initially be targeted at netbooks. Google is looking for the partners for development of this open-source OS. The USP of this OS will be Speed, Simplicity and Security. But the general impression is that google’s chrome OS will be focused on using the internet only. They have already developed a browser called Google Chrome which is now being used by over 30 million users all over the globe.

Google Chrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips and we are 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.

I have been searching over the internet for the news, updates and pictures as how will it look like and such other things. I have been able to find a number of pictures which I am including for you people to have a look at. But remember, I have found these pictures at my own resources and are not the officially released pictures.

How to Rename Multiple Files

Tashkeel — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 22:32:39 +0000

There are a number of ways to rename various files with just one click. There are softwares available for free to achieve this job. Some are just general in nature, while others for renaming specific extension with options to change the properties as well. Windows has a built in feature which lets you rename a number of files all together with just one click. Some of the features and procedures of such softwares is described below so that you do not have to rename each and every file separately after reading this blog.

Windows

Open My Computer to the folder containing all the files you want to rename.
Select the group of files that you wish to rename. Use Shift or Ctrl to select additional files.
Right click on the first file in the list and choose Rename from the context menu.
Type a new name for the file, then hit enter.

Tips:

The first file will take on the name you type; all other selected files will append a serial number enclosed in parenthesis to the base name.
If you typed ‘file.jpg’, the second file will be named ‘file (1).jpg’, and so on with increasing numbers.
Unless you include the number, the first file will not get numbered. When sorting by name, the unnumbered file will sort to the bottom of the list. To avoid this, include the starting number in the name you type. The numbers will go up from your starting number. Remember to include the space and parenthesis.
You may not want to use this method to rename files that you plan to upload to the Web as it puts spaces in the file name. Names with spaces are generally not Web-friendly.

ImHalal, Search Engine for Muslims

Tashkeel — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 19:16:24 +0000

As of today, Muslims from all over the world can search the World Wide Web safely without coming across content that might be considered “Haram” according to the Islamic Law.

The search engine, ImHalal.com, only fetches results that are flagged as to be “Halal”. The search engine uses various techniques to determine which results fetched are supposed to be “Halal” or “Haram”. Once a user comes in contact with content of explicit nature, the search engine will return a negative search advice.

The last few years Muslims have become very active on the Internet. The lack of tools for Muslims to be able to continue their online activities responsibly has inspired ImHalal to enter the search engine market.

Their goal is to become the homepage in all Muslim households. The main product will always be Search but they have got ambitious plans to expand their product line by adding Islamic widgets in the near future.

The last few years Muslims have become very active on the Internet. The lack of tools for Muslims to be able to continue their online activities responsibly has inspired ImHalal.com to enter the search engine market.

The site offers a broad range of functions that are developed specifically to increase the users search experience. Besides focusing to be a great Islamic search engine, ImHalal.com also aims to deliver the best search product as well.

For a test, I entered some queries such as Alcohol, Nudity etc and was impressed to see that ImHalal does exactly what it’s supposed to, it blocks the query and warns the user since the results for the query may contain Haram content.

Thats not all! ImHalal even gives you a rating for the searched query if its explicit or contains any sort of Haram content. Moreover, it is able to fetch not only links, but also images and news for any particular query. The search engine uses various techniques to determine which results fetched are supposed to be ‘Halal’ or ‘Haram’.

Now it may not be the best search engine out there but it still comes with a noble purpose. Especially, it can be of great use in Muslim households where the parents are concerned about the types of sites their children visit on the Internet.
