Google Chrome Netbook – Finally a hint coming out!

A lot of talk has been made and finally we have got some clue for the notebook that will be launched by Google itself for its newly launched OS (Operating System) Google Chrome. Some of the specs that the Google’s own notebook will have are as follows

• OS : Google Chrome
• Graphics : Nvidia Tegra
• Processor : ARM
• Display size : 10.1 inch multi touch
• 64 GB SSD
• 2 GB RAM
• Google apps pre installed
• Estimated to be priced around $ 300

A lot of gossip behind the scene is that whether Google will be able to successfully launch it or not and if it will be able to do so than will it be able to deliver the performance about this machine.  Let us see if it would really be able to justify the price tag that it is promised to be available on.

Facebook Search Trends 2009

There go the trends of Facebook search for 2009. Below is the method by which Facebook determined the search trends and also the most popular trends. (original post copied from Official Facebook Blog) for more details search of each search result kindly visit http://blog.facebook.com

Status updates on Facebook help people understand their friends and the people around them–how they’re feeling, what they’re doing and what they’re thinking. In the United States alone, people on Facebook are sharing hundreds of millions of words every day, thousands per second, in status updates. When taken as a whole, these words offer a unique barometer into the issues, world events and thoughts that are connecting people.

In the tradition of year-end lists, we’re introducing Facebook Memology. “Memology” refers to the study of how “memes,” or new ideas and trends, are spreading on Facebook. For this year’s list, the Facebook Data Team mapped the top trending words and phrases in U.S. status updates for 2009.

While significant news events and celebrities made the list, more personal topics like family, religion and even emerging digital slang were as common—no doubt reflecting the way people share their daily lives with friends on Facebook.

To generate the list, we started by looking at how many times each phrase with length from one-to-four words occurred in U.S. Facebook status updates, then we computed the rate at which each phrase occurred in 2009 compared to 2008. Using some data-mining methodsdetailed here, we analyzed important bursts in activity around words and series of words to find the key trends for the year. All personally identifiable information was removed from the status updates to conduct this analysis, and no one at Facebook read the individual status updates.

Because quite a few words and phrases were related to each other and correlated contextually, we grouped some of them together to form the final list that follows.

1 – Facebook Applications

2 – FML

3 – Swine Flu

4 – Celebrity Deaths

5 – Family

6 – Movies

7 – Sports

8 – Health Care

9 – FB

10 – Twitter

11 – Years

12 – Lady Gaga

13 – Yard

14 – Religion

15 – I
