Here is a well-narated ebook titled "20 Things I Learned about Browsers and the Web" which the Google Chrome team came out today, illustrated wonderfully by Christoph Nieman. Covers jargons such as Web apps, HTML, Java, CSS, cookies, malwares, cloud computing etc. etc. Won't be much useful for experts but certainly a good read for novices like me. Appreciate it Google!.

ACT NOW
A few sentences spoken by Sonia Gandhi yesterday caught my eye. Without looking into it from any political angle, I felt these sentences sort of picture today's India. Well realization is of course the first step towards correction, but should be followed by action. Not from one person, we as Indians, from each one of us. Let's not think what good will it do if I am good when the whole world is bad. A beginning has to be made, but from where and when is the question. "Who" is already answered....Us and only us. Here are the excerpts...
“India’s contrasts” marked by the emergence of “more millionaires...alongside millions who struggle for two square meals a day.”
“We are right to celebrate our high rate of economic growth. We must do all that we can to sustain it. However, let us not forget that growth is not an end in itself. Much more important to my mind is what kind of society we aspire to be, and the values on which it should be built. Our economy may increasingly be dynamic, but our moral universe seems to be shrinking. Prosperity has increased but so has social conflict. Intolerance of various kinds is growing. Graft and greed are on the rise. The principles on which independent India was founded, for which a generation of great leaders fought and sacrificed their all, are in danger of being negated.”
