I resisted falling for the link baits, but the news about iPad 2 launch in India is indeed true. Apple has released a press release, which confirms April 29th launch for iPad 2 in India, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey, UAE, Philippines, Malaysia, Israel, Korea & Macau starting 9am local time.

The developer claims that they have designed AppShaker to consume so less battery and memory, such that you will not even notice it running in the background! Apparently, the background service goes to sleep as and when the screen light goes off and when the screen is illuminated again,...
At some point, the web browser market appeared to have settled down into a battle between Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Mozilla’s Firefox. But that was before Google’s Chrome came along. Thanks to Google’s position as the most influential brand on the Web, it would not be unfair to say that Chrome’s rapid rise to the top was to some extent a result of Google’s profile. However, that would only be half the story – Chrome has developed a reputation for speed and ease of use that has seen web users hooked in droves.
