New Features in Android 4.0 – Ice Cream Sandwich and Download Links

Well I am not an Andriod fan but there is no harm in keeping a track of what is happenning around the world. Google recently released a new version of their Android software. Its called Ice Cream Sandwich, Version 4.0

Update 1 : On the eve of tonight’s Galaxy Nexus announcement, Google has released the Android 4.0 SDK. The platform promises a bevy of new features for users and developers alike including extended sharing and social integration and unified calendars. You can download a copy of the SDK here.

Google just unveiled their new Nexus phone, the Galaxy Nexus, along with a preview of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, coming to phones next year. Here’s a look at the creamy new update to the Android operating system.

Most of what’s gone into Ice Cream Sandwich is polish, making Android slicker, easier to use, and (finally) more consistent across the board. It’s mostly filled with small improvements and tweaks that Google rattled off pretty quickly, so we’ve listed our favorites here in bulleted form. This isn’t a comprehensive list; this is just what Google demoed at today’s event—so there’s probably even more to come.

Access Facebook Securely by enabling HTTPS

Although I feel Facebook is really secure apart from one or two hiccups in the past, I have personally not encountered any issues with Facebook so far. But there is no harm in adding additional security to your Facebook account. While not a cure-all, this little check-box will drastically reduce the vulnerability of your account to phishing (hacking) schemes and help keep your brand safer!

Enabling HTTPS ensures that you have a secure connection between you and Facebook when you log in – which makes it much harder for infected stuff to steal your login credentials on the fly.

This is not yet a default setting – but we figure it will become one in the very near future based on Facebook’s other actions. For now, you can very easily enable it for yourself.

Browser Evolution (1994-2011) – From Netscape to Chrome

Looking at the browsers in the current browser race it is hard to remember the time when one browser dominated the market. No one ever thought that this race would last for such a long time. Netscape had over 86% of the market share. Then came Microsoft with their first browser in the market and started dominating the market. Once Microsoft started integrating Internet Explorer with Windows they unsurprisingly took over the market and dominated it for several years. Internet Explorer would not have gained this much popularity if it was not for Windows. Ever since then Microsoft never looked back, though their market share has dropped drastically but they still lead the way in browser war. Chrome and Firefox are catching up. But I am predicting it won’t be long when either Firefox or Chrome beats the crap out of IE. Enjoy this infograhpic and the The History of Web Browsers. Once again a large picture [56k warning]

ISRO’s Bhuvan will not help the terrorists while Google Earth helped – What a Joke

ISRO announced today that they will bring Bhuvan the Google Earth competitor in the market. The main feature of ISRO Bhuvan would be that compared to Google Earth, ISRO Bhuvan will be able to zoom till 10 meter anywhere in India. Now tell me last time when terrorists attacked on Parliament and 26/11, our politicians said that these guys used Google earth. Will they not have a better tool now. I am not able to understand why Indian Government is funding such pathetic projects. Another such example of failure is Chandrayaan. I mean I don’t understand why would India send a satellite on moon to find out what ? US have done the research there is nothing that Indian scientists will reveal now. And whatever happened was expected out of it. Chandrayaan was utter failure. All Indian tax payer’s money is going in vain. Nothing is being done for the safety of civilians.

We are still living in the same unprotected world where you don’t know whether you will be alive tomorrow or not. People are so scared to come out of their houses. If there is no terrorist attacks then there are internal terrorists, I mean every day you hear about kidnapping, murders and robberies. Everyday there is a new story about crime. I am sick and tired of listening to these kind of news. I wish I could do something about it. Our law and order needs to be changed. People after being convicted as well roam freely in India. Thats our law. Anyways, I think I deviated from the topic. So what I was saying is that the same way we failed in Chandrayaan. ISRO Bhuvan is also going to fail, these guys don’t know what they are up against. Its Google.

Oh my God. We seriously need some developers in Indian Government Department. Our government websites are damn funny. I can’t even begin to tell you.

Google Dog is Dead :(

Its sad and grieving to inform you all that the pup that I had bought died today. He got sick, I don’t know why and could not survive the pain and at last left for heaven. He got infected by Pirvo virus I believe, which is said to be one of the most dangerous viruses for Dogs. It was a very short period of time when he lived with us but was a fantastic pup. He will remain with us for our entire life.

Rest in Peace Google.
