Chrome Release Channels

Chrome Release Channels
Chrome supports a number of different release channels. We use these channels to slowly roll out updates to users, starting with our close to daily Canary channel builds, all the way up to our Stable channel releases that happen every 6 weeks roughly. Channels Windows Mac Android Linux Stable channel 32-bit Ubuntu/Debian 32-bit Fedora/OpenSUSE64-bit Ubuntu/Debian64-bit Fedora/Red Hat/OpenSUSE How do I choose which channel to use? The release channels for chrome range from the most stable and tested (Stable channel) to completely untested and likely least stable (Canary channel). What should I do before I change my channel? Back up your data! Before you switch, you should make a backup of your profile (bookmarks, most visited pages, history, cookies, etc). Make a copy of the User Data\Default directory (for example, copy it to 'Default Backup' in the same location). ~/.config/google-chrome/Default Enable anonymous usage statistics Reporting Dev channel and Canary build problems

Google Chrome playing catch-up on extensions. - InternetNews:The From the "you gotta start somewhere" files: Sure Google's Chrome browser is fast. But since day one it has lacked add-ons/extensions that provide additional functionality. Today Google Chrome still doesn't have extensions, but Google developers now have a "design doc" that is an initial attempt at a roadmap. In my opinion, the roadmap looks like it's an effort to do an add-ons/extensions approach that is as good (if not better) than the one that Mozilla Firefox uses today. Firefox 3.x has made great strides in improving how add-ons are consumed, and Mozilla continues to expand that effort. It looks like SSL, signed extensions and a central repository for auto-updates and validation are all part of the plan.According to the roadmap: We will provide a service designed to reduce burden to developers by reducing traffic costs and providing a robust, secure mechanism for autoupdates that they can easily leverage rather than having to handle the logistics on their own site.

Google Maps API Tutorial If you've got lots of addresses to geocode, then you can't just write a loop that calls the getAddress() function in the previous example several times. There are several problems: Geocoding takes quite a bit of computer power. Let's try to avoid needlessly wasting Google server resources. The goeocoder quota is now set at 15,000 geocode calls per IP address per day. If you use .getLatLng() for geocoding multiple addresses, then you won't be able to recognise the 620 errors. In my example, I start with a 100ms delay and increase the length of the delay each time I retry an address due to receiving a 620 error. In my example, the list of target addresses is hard coded, but you could read the list from one XML file, pass forward all the attributes to your getAddress() function and include all the details in your output.

Google chief: Only miscreants worry about net privacy • The Regi High performance access to file storage If you're concerned about Google retaining your personal data, then you must be doing something you shouldn't be doing. At least that's the word from Google CEO Eric Schmidt. "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place," Schmidt tells CNBC, sparking howls of incredulity from the likes of Gawker. But the bigger news may be that Schmidt has actually admitted there are cases where the search giant is forced to release your personal data. "If you really need that kind of privacy, the reality is that search engines - including Google - do retain this information for some time and it's important, for example, that we are all subject in the United States to the Patriot Act and it is possible that all that information could be made available to the authorities." There's also the possibility of subpoenas. Gawker highlights the irony of Schmidt's typically haughty proclamations.

Aza’s Thoughts » Vote! How to Detect the Social Sites Your Visit One of the great things about the web is the relative ease with which one can set up a new service. In social bookmarking alone with have Del.icio.us, Digg, Facebook, Fark, Mister-Wong, Newsvine, Reddit, Technorati, Slashdot, and StumbleUpon, to name a few. That’s great for competition, and that’s great for users, but it’s not so good for bloggers and content creators. What are you to do if you want readers to promote your content? Kevin Rose, of Digg, put it succinctly: “Encourage your visitors to submit their favorite stories directly to Digg [with a Digg badge].” On the other hand, if you take the bird-shot approach, it overloads your reader with branded badge after branded badge. Nobody seems to have solved the problem yet. There has to be a better way. If you could detect which social bookmarking sites your reader uses, on a per-reader basis, you could display only the badges they care about. Wrong. I know that you visit: . user.checkedSites() How does SocialHistory.js know? P.S.

Compiler sur iphone Dans les articles précédents nous avons abordé les bases de la programmation iPhone et nous avons créé une petite application qui compile sur le simulateur iPhone d'Apple. Le but de ce dernier chapitre est de clarifier toute la procédure aboutissant à la compilation sur un support réel (iPhone ou iPod touch). Cette étape est loin d'être évidente et ne s'adresse qu'aux personnes ayant réellement l'ambition de faire évoluer une application puisqu'un des prérequis majeurs est l'acquisition d'une licence développeur à partir de 99 USD (dollars américains) par an. L'enrôlement Il est possible de développer une application iPhone jusqu'à la compilation sur simulateur sans avoir accès au portail de développement d'Apple. Tester l'application sur un support réel Proposer l'application sur l'Apple store. Pour avoir accès à ce portail il faut "s'enrôler" au iPhone Developer Program sur le site du iPhone Dev Center: Deux programmes sont proposés: Un fichier .

10 Privacy Settings Every Facebook User Should Know We’ve updated this guide with the new privacy settings just launched by Facebook. You can get the new Facebook privacy guide now. Everyday I receive an email from somebody about how their account was hacked, how a friend tagged them in the photo and they want a way to avoid it, as well as a number of other complications related to their privacy on Facebook. Over the weekend one individual contacted me to let me know that he would be removing me as a friend from Facebook because he was “going to make a shift with my Facebook use – going to just mostly family stuff.” Perhaps he was tired of receiving my status updates or perhaps he didn’t want me to view photos from his personal life. Whatever the reason for ending our Facebook friendship, I figured that many people would benefit from a thorough overview on how to protect your privacy on Facebook. 1. I can’t tell you how many people are not aware of their friend lists. There are a few very important things to remember about friend lists:

Google must divulge YouTube log Google must divulge the viewing habits of every user who has ever watched any video on YouTube, a US court has ruled. The ruling comes as part of Google's legal battle with Viacom over allegations of copyright infringement. Digital rights group the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) called the ruling a "set-back to privacy rights". The viewing log, which will be handed to Viacom, contains the log-in ID of users, the computer IP address (online identifier) and video clip details. While the legal battle between the two firms is being contested in the US, it is thought the ruling will apply to YouTube users and their viewing habits everywhere. Viacom, which owns MTV and Paramount Pictures, has alleged that YouTube is guilty of massive copyright infringement. The UK's Premier League association is also seeking class action status with Viacom on the issue, alleging YouTube, which was bought by Google in 2006, has been used to watch football highlights. Legal action 'Erroneous ruling'

Stunningly poor quality predictions about the future Internet from Google's CEO | Tom Foremski: IMHO | ZDNet.com Marshall Kirkpatrick at ReadWriteWeb writes about Eric Schmidt's predictions about the future of the Internet, delivered at a Gartner conference. I'm rarely impressed by Mr Schmidt's predictions or analysis of Internet trends. Even though he is CEO of Google, his position seems to fail to provide him with anything insightful to say about the future Internet. Take a look: Google's Eric Schmidt on What the Web Will Look Like in 5 Years Teenagers are the model, they move seamlessly from app to app. I move seamlessly from app to app. There is less of a generational gap than many people without teenagers think. Five years is a factor of ten in Moore's Law. Distribution distinctions between the web, radio and TV will go away. People will listen more to other people than to traditional sources. Real time information is just as valuable as all the other information.

A fresh take on the browser At Google, we have a saying: “launch early and iterate.” While this approach is usually limited to our engineers, it apparently applies to our mailroom as well! As you may have read in the blogosphere, we hit "send" a bit early on a comic book introducing our new open source browser, Google Chrome. As we believe in access to information for everyone, we've now made the comic publicly available -- you can find it here. We will be launching the beta version of Google Chrome tomorrow in more than 100 countries. So why are we launching Google Chrome? All of us at Google spend much of our time working inside a browser. On the surface, we designed a browser window that is streamlined and simple. Under the hood, we were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today's complex web applications much better. This is just the beginning -- Google Chrome is far from done. We owe a great debt to many open source projects, and we're committed to continuing on their path.

Petite fille... Jade a maintenant sept ans. C'est une jolie petite fille, avec d'immenses yeux bleus. Elle vit cette année 2000 avec toute la joie des gamines de son âge, et ne regrette qu'une chose : ne pas voir son père plus souvent. Ses parents se sont séparés il y a deux ans, elle vit chez sa mère, qu'elle adore, mais son père, qu'elle revoit les week-ends et les vacances, lui manque. Mais ses parents lui ont bien expliqué, elle n'est pas malheureuse, elle a compris que c'était comme ça, et tout le reste va bien : son petit frère Ilan, quatorze mois d'écart avec elle, avec qui elle joue beaucoup, l'école, elle est bonne élève, sa maman, qu'elle adore, qui est aide-soignante, c'est pratique, c'est elle qui lui guérit ses bobos, Lydie, sa meilleure amie, fille des voisins, avec qui elle dort de temps en temps, son carnet intime, qu'elle remplit tous les soirs de mots simples et d'une écriture toute ronde... Tout va bien, Jade est une petite fille pleine de beauté et de joie, comme tant d'autres.
