Welcome to Linux Screw! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe our RSS feed.
There is still no native Linux support of newly unveiled browser Google Chrome but guys from CodeWeavers prepared the port of Chromium (official name of Google Chome for Linux). This staff is already available for downloading as DEB packages for Ubuntu (32-bit and 64-bit), as RPM for RedHat, Fedora, CentOS etc. as well as self installable script for any other Linux distribution.
Well, after quick testings there are no doubts that it is not a good option if you wish to have quick and stable alternative for Firefox… But of course it is good for evaluation purposes or for those people who CAN’T wait for official release of Chrome for Linux 
Certainly the port is based on Windows copy run by Wine (don’t forget to upgrade it). Actually CodeWeavers says that this is just a proof of concept, for fun, and to showcase what Wine can do.
Well, Google is considering to deploy data centres necessary to operate their search engine on barges powering and cooling computers…

Liferea is the best aggregator for online news feeds especially 1.4.6 version. Some of it’s features really makes feeding life easier. It supports duplicate rss entries detection (see picture), and it’s surely one of the fastest feed readers I ever tried. Google Reader is very powerful and useful solution for RSS reading as well but sometimes it’s very important to have RSS entries offline. To move Google Reader subscription list to Liferea including folder hierarchy it’s necessary to accomplish several steps:
1. Export Google Reader subscriptions: go to “Settings” -> “Import/Export” -> “Export your subscriptions as an OPML file” and save XML file on your computer.
2. Import saved subscriptions into Liferea: go “Subscriptions” -> “Import Feed List” (or press CTRL+O) and select previously saved XML file. In few minutes you’ll get Google Reader subscription saved locally.
By the way, to install Liferea in Ubuntu run: sudo apt-get install -y liferea.

Google was co-founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were students at Stanford University and the company was first incorporated as a privately held company on September 7, 1998. Through a series of new product developments, acquisitions and partnerships, the company has expanded its initial search and advertising business into other areas, including web-based email, online mapping, office productivity, and video sharing, among others.
Here is a screenshot of google.com page in early 1997 (as you might notice Linux specific resources search was available from the beginning, unfortunately I didn’t find any information when BSD related search become available):
Respect to Google!
