#Google #Chrome Search Preview! Excellent customisation

I like the New Google Chrome Search Preview option, even though it’s a way to favour chrome over other browsers… Combine it with the instant search and you have a winner!

JFK quoting Khalil Gibran (…ask what you can do for ur country) 36 years later

Sdkaaa — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:57:53 +0000

In an early discussion on facebook, following my retweet of @AskLEBGov tweet:

“Don’t ask what ur country can do for u, but what u can do for ur country “JFK tweet with #AskLEBGov, we will channel it to the Gov!

found here, my friend Rihab El Hélou drew my attention that this quotation was in fact created by Khalil Gibran our famous Lebanese Writer and philosopher 36 years before JFK!

Quoting Rihab:

Actually, Khalil Gibran published the above saying in his 1925 work titled “The New Frontier”, Thirty-six years before President Kennedy’s 1961 Inaugural Address.

“Are you a politician asking what your country can do for you or a zealous one asking what you can do for your country? If you are the first, then you are a parasite; if the second, then you are an oasis in a desert.” Khalil Gibran

I’m not pretty sure how can we correct this, what we can do is to circulate it!

We are great Lebanese! And I’m proud of that! Who will be the next Gibran? The Next JFK?

How to activate your Google Buzz

Sdkaaa — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:58:58 +0000

So what is all the Buzz about?

Few hours ago, Google announced the launch of Google buzz…

It is supposed to show under your Inbox!!

If you want to activate your Google Buzz, here is what you have to do:

First, you should have a Google account.

Second, you should at least be subscribed to 2 google services, such as gmail and reader for example.

Third, you should have an online photo Gallery, like Picasa or Flickr (Your DropBox Pictures would work too).

Fourth, you have to go to http://www.google.com/profiles and register with your google account.

Fifth, fill in as much info as you can until it tells you your profile is now eligible to be searched.

Sixth and last, go to google reader and click on “Your stuff”;

“Have some thoughts to share?” Share something and it will come up as a Google buzz status…

All you have to do now in order to see your buzz, is to go to your profile, you will see a tab for Buzz!!

Congrats, you are on Google Buzz!!!

…

Few hours or days later on you will notice the buzz under your inbox!!

It is helpful to follow people the way of twitter…

P.S: Remember the secret to get rid of several email notifications from buzzes you buzzed earlier: The magic mute key “m” from your Gmail inbox!
