One box for everything

Type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and web pages.

Thumbnails of your top sites

Access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab.

Shortcuts for your apps

• Get desktop shortcuts to launch your favorite web applications.

• The browser also offer several unique features including Advanced tabbed browsing where each tab gets its own process, significantly reducing
• browser crashes
• A distinct layout that places tabs on top of the browser window instead of underneath the address bar
• A new JavaScript engine that is geared for speed
• Increased browser security through automatically updated malware and phishing lists
• A default home page that displays your most visited websites and other customizable information
• A privacy mode that lets you browse websites in complete privacy without recording any of your activity.

In Google Chrome is in beta version, you can get anywhere on the Web with one box. The address bar that sits at the top of the normal Google Chrome window simplifies your Internet experience by doubling as a search box. You can also use it to bookmark websites and stay aware about the security of a website.

With Google Chrome is still in beta testing, and for those who have an even higher tolerance for rough-around-the-edges software, Google also offers developer versions. Google Chrome 0.3.154.3 version is the latter.

The new update is tagged by Google as containing mostly bug fixes as well as a new download behaviour - which is also an important thing to note. Security researcher “Aviv Raff” had alleged that Google Chrome was at risk from a Carpet Bombing flaw that would let downloaded files execute on a users desktop - the new Google Chrome 0.3.154.3 version update changes download behaviour. According to Google’s release notes:

Changes the download behavior for files that could execute code (exe, dll, bat, etc.). These files are now downloaded to unconfirmed_*.download files. In the browser, you’re asked if you want to accept the download. Only after you click Save is the unconfirmed_*.download file converted to the real file name. Unconfirmed downloads are deleted when Google Chrome exits.

The big thing for me though is really one bug that is fixed dealing with plugings. Google notes that in the new update of Google Chrome runs plugins at a normal priority so that they notes that in the new update of Google Chrome runs plugins at a normal priority so that they do not cause the browser to become unresponsive. That’s a huge thing. In my experience with Google Chrome thus far it is typically a plugin (often Flash) that becomes unresponsive crashing the browser. Putting the plugin at the same priority is an interesting fix - though I’m not sure how that relates to Google’s idea of sandboxing processes. Their is also a really interesting JavaScript bug fix here too.

Change the minimum timer resolution for setTimeout() to 4 milliseconds (up from 1ms). At 1ms, some pages would spin in tight loops and consume 100% of CPU.

Intuitively I would have thought that a lower timer resolution would have meant better performance - but that’s apparently not always the case.

You can down a copy of Google Chrome at Google.com and any other Google home page.]]>

Elsewhere, IE7's Phishing Filter has now been replaced by something called SmartScreen, which apparently offers enhanced protection. And the new Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Filter promises to "detect malicious code running on compromised websites". Both sound like really good news, but there are very few details on how they work at the moment, so we're reserving judgement until the final version hits the streets.

The IE8 address bar now supports domain highlighting. This simple anti-phishing measure displays the domain in URL in grey, so it's easier to pick out where you are. It turns on Data Execution Prevention by default, limiting the damage that can be done from buffer overrun exploits, and includes new ActiveX restrictions that make it harder for a malicious control to infect your PC. InPrivate Blocking could annoy developers, then, but elsewhere the browser offers some welcome security improvements. We still wouldn't recommend you install it — this is a beta and thus still buggy — but there's not long to wait until the real deal. The final version should be out before the end of the year.]]>

The best-known systems are person-to-person services such as PayPal (ww.paypal.com) and Nochex (www nochex.co.uk). They're very straightforward: all you or your customers need is a bank account and a valid email address. As an online business, you'll pay a standard fee plus a percentage of every payment made to you. Most systems offer merchant users a version of their core product with some extra bells and whistles. PayPal, for example, offers integrated shop-fronts, cut-and-paste code and extra security. There are no set-up costs and price per transaction starts at 3.4 per cent, going down as your turnover increases.

Alternatively you may want to bypass the need for customers to sign up with a third-party system. That's where credit card gateways come in. You're probably familiar with WorldPay (www.wortdpay co.uk) and Protx (www.protx.com). These services provide you with an interface to their merchant bank account, enabling you to process credit card transactions directly. Expect to pay more for this convenience though: a monthly subscription fee at least. Protx charges £20 a month for small business accounts; WorldPay pricing starts at £30 a month, with a further set-up fee of £200, plus additional rates for individual transactions.]]>

Green hosting.

We also believe in green hosting, that’s why we have changed our current data centre to a new carbon neutral data centre. This may be more expensive for us, but we do think it’s a price well worth paying.

Green energy.

We have also changed our current energy supplier to a green energy supplier, we find this a more effective way to reduce our emissions, and it’s cheaper than installing solar panels.

Running on green energy means we can be safe in the knowledge that our business is no longer contributing to global warming.

Desktop PC’s for a Laptops

We are in the process of swapping all our desktop pc’s for Laptop computers. Laptop computers are built, to use less energy than our desktop pc. These days, a laptop computer is fast enough and contains enough memory and hard-drive space to serve as our primary PC in the office.

CRT monitor for an LCD.

We no longer use CRT monitors instead we now use LCD’s monitors. LCD’s, in general, use less energy than a CRT monitor of the same size.

Turn off your computer and monitor overnight.

There may be a good reason why we leave our computers throughout the night while we’re at home. We always make sure all our equipment his been turned off a night before we leave for home. This alone has saved us loads of money and carbon emissions.

Unplug battery chargers overnight.

Chargers for laptop computers, AA and AAA rechargeable batteries, and other appliances generate heat when left plugged in, even when they’re not being used. It may be convenient to leave them plugged in, ready to charge for you at a moment’s notice without your having to scrabble about in the darkness under your desk, but only plugging them when you need to use them will save a few carbon emissions as well as help reduce your power bill.

Use energy-efficient lights.

We have also changed our lighting for more effective low energy lighting. During the summer, there are many days where it’s just not necessary to turn on most of the lights in the office. Not only is natural light free, but it also contains Vitamin D.

Going paperless

We are also in the process of changing our billing system from paper invoices to electronic invoices. For every paper invoice we save in printing, we will donate the cost of that invoice to the Woodland Trust.]]>
