Google claims that Caffeine provides 50 percent fresher results for web searches than their last index. "It’s the largest collection of web content we’ve offered. Whether it’s a news story, a blog or a forum post, you can now find links to relevant content much sooner after it is published than was possible ever before", said Carrie Grimes, Software Engineer at Google.

Google announced today that Google Chrome OS will debut for free in autumn, and compete directly with Microsoft’s Windows operating system.
Google originally announced the operating system back in July, eventually making a beta available for testing, and will release it free for all users.

Google has begun to phase out support for Internet Explorer 6, the browser identified as the weak link in a cyber attack on the search engine.
The firm said from 1 March some of its services, such as Google Docs, would not work "properly" with the browser.
Recently, various outlets, such as TechCrunch, had reported that an early build of Chrome OS has been leaked into the wild. Well, I hate to tell you but those reports weren’t exactly accurate.
What leaked was in fact was an Alpha/Beta implementation of the Chromium browser that will be used in Chrome OS. As such, it was distributed in .deb package format, which is the very same format used by Debian-based Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu.

Google Chrome OS is a project by Google Inc. to develop a lightweight computer operating system devoted to using the World Wide Web and today Google has made available first preview build to everyone.
It is based on Google’s Chrome web browser and the Linux kernel. It runs on systems with either x86 or ARM processors. So finally another Linux edition has been added into free Linux Distros list.

As it invites the world to play in a mysterious sandbox it likes to call "Caffeine," Google is testing more than just a "next-generation" search infrastructure. It’s testing at least a portion of a revamped software architecture that will likely underpin all of its online applications for years to come.
Speaking with The Reg, über-Googler Matt Cutts confirms that the company’s new Caffeine search infrastructure is built atop a complete overhaul of the company’s custom-built Google File System, a project two years in the making. At least informally, Google refers to this file system redux as GFS2.

Google Chrome fans who live on the edge and use the developer’s build now get access to one of the best features in Windows 7. Browser jump-list access had previously been limited only to Internet Explorer, but Chrome version 3.0.197.11 supports it.
The jump list, accessible by right-clicking on the Chrome taskbar icon or by holding down the left mouse button and dragging, mimics the Internet Explorer jump list. What IE calls "Frequent", Chrome labels "Most Visited Sites", but both merely show your most frequently visited Web sites. Both lists of URLs are configurable, so you can remove sites from the list.
