Earlier I wrote how chrome is taking huge amount of memory because it is running one process for each tab (http://www.shafqatahmed.com/2008/09/google-chrome-i.html). It seems that Chrome supports other process models as well. Here are the process models for Chrome browser
1. Process Per Tab
(default model)2. Process Per Site: One process per website. For example a user with two tabs opened at Gmail and another opened at facebook will have the two google tabs running in the same process. (default model)
3. Single Process ( walla! this is what I was looking for)

At the chrome shortcut pass the appropriate command like option to control Chrome’s behavior.
--process-per-site --process-per-tab --single-process
Here is how you edit the shortcut to run with different process model. Open up the properties tab of the Chrome browser short cut and edit it like the image below

So now I can run chrome anyway I want. Chrome has become my second browser of choice after Opera. Chrome will occupy less memory now.

Opera 9.5 Alpha has been released and it had quite a lot of issues but it has faster JavaScript engine and a whole lot better history search. I have been using opera since version 3.00 and absolutely love this product. I still consider it to be the best browser in the world. Well ... I am a Opera Maniac.
Since I have several widgets from different sites which have images served from different websites I was worried about the download time and decided to look for CDN (Content Delivery Network) service. The CDNs have distributed servers all over the world.

Today I found this site where anyone can upgrade their router via firmware patch. Most normal routers can be patched and turned into this feature rich, user friendly powerful router. There is this project called
One could try to imagine what is behind all the facebook screaming around the world. Whats so great about it? Well ... the thing about this application is that ... its about people, its about you and me.
