Ping the first music centric social network by Apple has crossed one million users within 48 hours of its launch.Ping has been joined by one-third iTunes 10 downloaders and in the forthcoming weeks the Ping community is likely to expand more.Apple introduced Ping along with iTunes 10 during the company’s music and iPod media event on September 1 in San Francisco.

Besides letting its users follow world renowed celebrities like Lady Gaga,ColdPlay,U2,Jack Johnson,Yo Yo Maya and many more, Ping lets us keep a watchful eye on our favourite artist’s activities, pics, vids, tour dates and comments on several other compositions.Apart from that, users get the freedom to post their own  thoughts, ideas and opinions on their favourite iTunes music, concerts, functions and many more exciting objectives.In short Ping is a paradise for music lovers who want to go social.

However, Ping is not available to users of Croatia, India, Chile and few other countries which makes it lag behind other social networking circles like Twitter and Myspace in terms of availability.

They offered 3 upgrade licenses from windows XP or vista to windows 7 Home Premium at a price of just $149.99 however due to limited availability stocks ran out in just 6 weeks time.

This time on the first birthday of Windows seven,Microsoft is reviving the family pack from Oct 3 which will be available to buy from participating retailers as well as Microsoft online store. The price tag has been kept the same i.e. $149.99 for three upgrades licenses from XP or Vista to windows 7.Besides US ,the family pack will be available in UK,Canada,Germany,France ,Australia and other markets from Oct 22.

Unfortunately this time too there is limited availability and the pack will be available till supplies last.So all the buyers should place their orders in early to avoid disappointment.After all Windows 7 is a operating system worth upgrading to.

Google Chrome celebrates 2 years of existence with the new version 6.0 stable.Since the day they launched there have been some changes here and there but there were also some things that didn’t change almost at all.

When it launched Chrome was a very simple browser yet powerful browser, with a clean and minimalist UI and amazing speeds.From the beginning it supported Windows, MAC and Linux, making it faster and safer with every version.

Also the number of features added is very impressive.They’ve added TAB page customization, browser themes, password manager, side-by-side view, better privacy controls, built-in Adobe Flash Player, Autofill, automatic translation, HTML5 capabilities and synchronization of various settings such as bookmarks, themes, extensions and browser preferences.


This new version is proof of that, being even faster than the old ones, actually being 3 times faster than the old one released 2 years ago on JavaScript performance.If you thought the old one was minimalist well then this one is as some might not believe, above that in this category.

The new version, has a lot of features improved and a lot of bugs fixed. Major changes are :

  • Updated UI
  • Form Autofill
  • Syncing of extensions and Autofill data
  • Increased speed and stability

[More information about changes and bugfixes can be found on Google Chrome Releases]

Good thing about Chrome is that it has a great team behind to make it better and better for you and all the millions of users. You can now download the latest final build of Google Chrome 6 at Google.com/chrome
