Basically, in the Bash environment, an administrator is working with text commands. An example of such a command is ls, which can be used to display a list of files in a directory. Bash has some useful features to make working with these line commands as easy as possible. Some shells offer the option to complete a command automatically. Bash has this feature, but it does more than just complete commands. Bash can complete almost everything: not just commands, but also file names and shell variables.


Using Automatic Command Completion
Using this feature is as simple as pressing the Tab key. For example, the cat line command is used to display the contents of an ASCII text file. The name of this file, which is in the current directory, is this_is_a_file. So, to open this file, the user can type cat thi and then press the Tab key. If the directory has only one file that starts with the letters t-h-i, Bash automatically completes the name of the file. If the directory has other files that start with the same letters, Bash will complete the name of the file as far as possible. For example, let’s say that...

Google Chrome is a new web browser created as open source by Google in which tabs will be open as separate process designed for stability, speed and security.

RESULTS:

1. This prevents other opened url/websites from interfering with each other. Using this modern operating systems designs (multiprocessing architecture) will result in a less memory overall.
2. You can now see what websites are using more bandwidth to open.

Other Cool Features:

1. Every time you open a new tab, there's a set of thumbnails of pages for easy access.
2. An automated test are being done by a system called "Chrome Bot"

At the Microsoft TechEd Australia 2008 conference keynote this morning, Dr. Neil and Amit Mital teased a very quick preview of the Live Mesh application running on a Windows Mobile Palm Treo Pro which should be publically available in the coming months.

During the short demonstration, Dr. Neil took a photo of Amit on stage with his mobile phone which then wireless synced with the Live Mesh computer.

In the broader picture syncing of data is just one of three components to the Live Mesh platform. They envision unified device management to remotely manage health, status, location and capability of devices; unified application deployment with synced configurations and settings for those applications; and finally unified data management across any device.

Imagine putting a Zune on the Live Mesh and allowing it to sync with your unified music library that spans across different computers, different devices and even different platforms.

If the standard Microsoft Surface demo applications doesn’t cut it for you anymore then check out this custom application built by an Aussie Readify consultant Tatham Oddie in just two days who hadn’t seen a Surface until a day ago (sponsored by Amnesia actually).

Since all TechEd badges are RFID-enabled A special sticker was placed on the back of the TechEd badge, he took advantage of this to build a TechEd sessions scheduler that works by placing the badge on the Surface. He also mentioned that if you had two badges on the Surface at once you could even share sessions by dragging it from one badge to the other.
