In operating systems like Windows XP, Seven we see Vrinda font by default when

• Visiting a website that does not specify a font for Bangla
• In Windows Explorer
• Typing on any software like MS Office Softs switching keyboard mode using Avro

What if we could use our favorite bangle font instead of Vrinda? I think it’d be nice. Let’s see how to do it.
Follow the steps given below:

• Download font fixer from http://www.vistaarc.com/download/font_fixer_2.0.0.exe
• If it is windows seven run it as administrator by right clicking. In Windows XP just double click it.

• Choose your favorite Bangla font.
• Click fix it.
• Close the window.
• Restart the computer.
• Visit a website using Google Chrome or type Bangla in any other software you’ll see the change. The default font has been set to your favorite one.

Why Google Chrome Frequently Crashes? [Solved]

Do you have Internet Download Manager (IDM) installed on your PC? Do you face frequent crashes on Google Chrome? Or cannot load certain web pages like twitter.com or some flashy pages, just hangs or shows alien behavior?

Fig: Google Chrome 5.0.375.55 just crashed

I faced this problem. I was always using stable releases of Google Chrome. Still having it hang I was really frustrated. However I found the cause after doing some experiments. The idea might came from a discussion of web forum or may Google’s help discussion. Someone was talking about uninstalling IDM.

But you need not uninstall it. You just need to disable “advanced browser integration” for Google Chrome was enabled in idm. Open IDM main window as shown in image below.

Fig: IDM Main Window

Click options button. Under General tab. Under the text ‘Capture downloads from the following browsers’ un-tick Google Chrome.

Click Ok. You’re done. After doing that I think you’ll never face crashes again like me. Though it could be better if Internet Download Manager Company had fixed their integration problem. Have fun with Google Chrome OS.

How to Load All New Yahoo Mail on Google Chrome Linux

Users of All New Yahoo Mail may be redirected to the following page when using Google Chrome on Linux.

[Click image to zoom]

The page says "Sorry, the all-new Yahoo! Mail does not support your browser.
You can either download a compatible browser or proceed to Yahoo! Mail Classic."

And there are two options; one to download browsers other to "To proceed to Yahoo! Mail Classic"

How weird is that!! This is happening with Google Chrome 4.0.249.43 which is a very much capable browser for the technologies that New Yahoo Mail uses!

So what's the workaround? As Yahoo Mail is dumb we have to bypass their browser and platform check!

Enter the following URL on address bar and enter
       http://us.mg2.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?sysreq=ignore

Asians, use this url. It will help faster loading.

Google Chrome Latest Releases Direct Download Links and Google Search Tips & Tricks

Google Chrome Latest Stable and Beta Releases without Google Updater

Google Chrome is an open-source browser which doesn't require a introduction now. Still it is a light-weight fast web browser that now supports themes.
Also it has some intelligent things integrated with. For example, all google search syntax can be applied on the address bar.

The most significant thing I like about google chrome in first is it's powerful virtual machine. Did you notice the load time of New Yahoo Mail and Gmail in Chrome? It's damn faster. Every site with javascript and other rendering contexts will load faster in chrome. We spend most of our time in web browser than other applications. If our pageloads take longer time just sum of wasted valuable time gets huge. So the suggestion is use Google Chrome, save your time.

With Google Chrome 4 you can use many themes as well as huge set of extensions.

You can save more of your time by directly typing search queries on address bar. If you want the definition of word technology type in the address bar "define: technology" (without the quotations).

You want to know the time type location preceded by time like this "time Bangladesh".
You want to know to do some calculations you can do that easily "2 + 2 = "
Need to know about weather? Type like this "weather Dhaka, Bangladesh"
