Extensions are one of the key factors which you always missed in Google Chrome.

Google Chrome 4.0 is the stable release that support extensions. Here is the three minutes video about “How to install extensions in Chrome?”.

Google Suggest is a cool feature which offers similar to the one you are typing. It works as follows,

If you’re signed in to your Google Account and have Web History enabled, suggestions are drawn from searches you’ve done, searches done by users all over the world, sites in our search index, and ads in our advertising network. If you’re not signed in to your Google Account, no history-based suggestions are displayed.

But some times it displays some irrelevant topics and put you in embarrassing situation. Checkout this blog, googlelolz.com, for more  such weird suggestions

Here is the tip to turn off Google Suggestions permanently.

1. Visit Google Preferences page.
2. In the Query suggestions section, select Do not provide query suggestions

3. Save your settings

Now you are freed from Google Suggest.

Just few hours left for the new year 2010. You would have started sharing the new year wishes with your friends and family.

How do you pronounce the new year 2010? The question sounds silly. But it is going to make a big difference in our day to day life.

www.twentynot2000.com is a new website launched to set the trend in pronouncing the year. According to this new concept, we should say Happy Twenty Ten

The following is the message given in www.twentynot2000.com,

Say the year “1810″ out loud. Now say the year “1999″ out loud. See a pattern? It’s been easier, faster, and shorter to say years this way for every decade (except for the one that just ended) instead of saying the number the long way. However, many people are carrying the way they said years from last decade over to this decade as a bad habit. If we don’t fix this now, we’ll be stuck saying years the long way for the next 89 years. Don’t let that happen!

Isn’t sound interesting now?

I wish you all a Very Happy Twenty Ten.
