Google Guice is a simple yet interesting Dependency Injector for I just wrote my first Guice application in netbeans. It is a very basic application but was good enough to do a head start. First you need to download Guice from gooogle code site from http :// code . google . com / p / google - guice / .

Just started using chrome in my Nettop running Ubuntu 9.10. the experience is cool. Though it is just beta but still it is giving me a pretty stable support. I have been waiting for this to arrive for a long time now. The only bug so far I have found is, it is missing the arrow's in the scrollbar. Previously I did used the crossover Google chrome in Linux. Most probably it was using wine to run the application in Linux. The feel was not as smooth as I am getting now in the Google version of chrome for Linux. About the experience of installation I would say it is pretty straight forward. Just go to Google chrome's website , and viola you can download the thing. Hope my rest of the experience would be as good as my first look.
