Chrome – test Drive…
Google chrome released long time back, I never tried it, but after using some mobile services and read about N900 + Chrome, I thought to test run. Finally start with Mac OS version, then tried on Linux (Fedora x86_64 RPM build by google), and Finally on Windows. It imported all data from Firefox on All platforms very easily , no error, and look was same on all OS, Same feel.
Book Mark Sync was quick feature, which I liked most as Firefox, need to install Weave and then it ask Few more username and password and PIN, then start sync, but for Chrome, someone need only Google a/c and it is done. But what I missed is Merge feature, which works better on Firefox (it ask what to merge), but chrome don’t. You have to merge or not sync at all. Secondly not sure, but I found it is not syncing Password and Browser history like Mozilla Weave
Overall smooth ride, cool look, faster loading, interface than Firefox.
for i18n/l10n point, it is not available in my language (Punjabi), for which I pushed Issue. For Indic, it is available in Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu.
it is Open Source, so got en-GB file to translate, start work if I can push to Google, where I am not sure whether they accept code or not.

Motorola is Back (India)....
Missing Motorola after A1600 release ( with Linux OS), but
now it is back with Motorola MileStone with following
specification:
ANDROID OPERATING SYSTEM - Android 2.1
Camera: 5 MP Dual LED Flash
3G WCDMA/900/2100, GSM 850/900/1800/1900, HSPA, GPRS Class 12, WiFi
BATTERY TYPE - 1400 mAh Li Ion
DISPLAY TYPE - TFT
WEIGHT - 165 g (heavy)
SIZE 60.00 x 115.80 x 13.70 mm
DISPLAY SIZE 3.7"; WVGA (480 x 854 pixels); 16:9 widescreen; PPI 267
PROCESSOR SPEED - 550 MHz (Slow)
Buy cost is ~32,000 INR, which seems too costly when we
compare with latest Sony Ericsson X10. X10 with
almost same price provide more feature, almost all
feature with 1Ghz, which make phone future-proof
(minimum for few months at least).
you can check compare at GSMarena
But it seems motorola is back (which I like more than
other phone brand, it is first brand to bring Linux phone
in India E6)

KDE 4.4 and Indian Calendar System
I have never seen anywhere such a system,
but in KDE 4.4, in which Indian Calendar system
can be choose at Desktop system.
In kde, choose systemsettings->Regional & Language
->Language-> Time and Date.
There is Indian Calendar, so after login and logout,
you can check it.
Following image has enough detail about it.
KDE 4.4 with Phalgun Month
Month: Phalgun
Day: Som (Monday)
Year: 1931
with time, software becoming more useful and more
close not only to hi-fi people, but general public.
After all those are for them, by them.

N900 with Punjabi support....
I got N900 for Testing Punjabi on it.
While need to install fonts, I was not
clear about rendering after installing
fonts. it is based on Maemo Linux, so
you can install/use application easily
After install openssl-client/server,
scp lohit-punjabi fonts from fedora
machine to N900 and 'fc-cache',
run 'fennec'.
While after reboot, I can see the
Punjabi in mail and other places
(no interface translation available yet).
Most Important thing was Rendering,
which is just working and good enough
to use. fonts was installed on N810, but
there is Punjabi Rendering was broken
More Screenshot you can check here
from i18n Point of view, following task with status:
---
-Fonts- Working - Need to package
-Rendering - Working - Nothing to Done
-Input - Need to Work - Need to Package
---
Now Android:
No Indian Language is supported as such, but
Same as Apple iPhone.
Now it seems Nokia should work fast, but less
hard to provide Indian language as Rendering is
working and just installing fonts can
help to enable support.

Recovering a lost Windows Serial Key...
During Repair of Dell XPS Laptop, I lost Windows 7's
Cover, which I got as Upgrade from Vista (so no
sticker on laptop). It includes Windows Serial No.
It lost this morning, and I installed Windows
without this key, but as need to activate within
30 days, I have to find some solution.
Two Software I found for this work (as I had already
installed Windows 7 on my old bad sector hard disk)
Belarc Advisor
It has Free, Personal Use, working perfect
Recover-Keys
Free for Demo, not perfect and PAID:-)
Finally, I attach old harddisk, boot windows 7 (old installation),
install both software, Recover-keys find few things
Office, Call for Duty and 1 more, but now Windows key,
Then install Belarc Advisor and it create report and
show me in Web browser, yes it contains Windows keys
with IE serial key. So I got the key to Windows Activation.
It save money and something that Punjabi don't like to do...;-)
More information about OEM Windows Version here.

Mac, Password and local keyboard setting...
First time, just before to login to write this
post, I was stuck with Macbook, where
my user password in English character,
forgot to change keyboard back to English
(from Punjabi), while Close MacBook
(which I often do).
When I opened, it was asking for password,
tried 2-3 times, but failed, then I found that
keyboard layout is Punjabi (not English),
so it was not accpecting password.
I tried Keyboard Shortcut to change like
Fedora/Gnome did. (+ keys),
but it was not changing, Rebooted, but still
asking for password.
Finally I found solution, hard learning, but it
works
Press key + (also
key also w0rks).
may be helpful in very rare condition, but it is
working this way....

I am working to find a way to include Punjabi (and other
Indic) language to device. Few steps I completed:
Locale-Extras - Updated all Indic locale files
Indic - Project to include all i18n stuff for Indic languages
Keyboard Layout - Virtual/On-Screen Keyboard (which has no Indic support yet)
still I am not able to add my language in it, but find few things
different from my desktop machine:
/usr/share/i18n-locale-resolver/
more time required to work on this, but I have next Internet
connection in coming weeks.
This system setup on Ubuntu AMD64. Often forgot to
put variable vdso32=0 for kernel at boot time.

Intel Inside out - Now in US
Another News about Intel's GREAT Success
story to remain Big in market.
This News from US (previous from EU),
where State of New York file case against
Intel to pay money to AMD.
HP is second in line not to Do or Delay
release for AMD.
Dell as my personal experience, they are
not selling direct AMD, only through
Phone and salesman will let you know
various short-comes in AMD deals, provide
better deals in Intel only (this is India's story).
if you remember EU's fine to Intel (around 3.45 billion in May),
Intel reply them with various reasons, but final
reply from EU you can read here
So, this is Intel's Inside story, US prepared
after EU, but I am not sure about my country
whether they will start find wrong business
deals or not as Intel may pay more money now
to politician or Officers than EU/US.:-)

install compare-locales (from Mozilla l10n tools)
To install compare-locales on Fedora Machine,
'easy_install' need to install, which is NOT

many times to find and install, but it IS
part of python-setuptools-devel (mostly
devel packages don't have command useful
for user).
$yum install python-setuptools-devel
$easy_install compare-locales
so, now you can use this on Fedora to
compare your locale with english strings
How to use, please check Mozilla Website and Blogs

Fedora Repo - How Repodata/boot.iso updated without package update...
I burnt boot.iso yesterday and started today's
testing with that only (as Mailing list was showing
NO package update on rawhide mail )
After finishing installation I by mistake run
rsync script to sync with server, and wondered

that,
So Finally I have to start my testing back.
