  3 Best Possible If-Else Construct Alternatives 

  Share on Facebook

  My current JAVA project requires a lot of check points, for example, 1. if the format of the ID passed is correct, then go ahead and 2. check if ID exists or not, if it does, 3. then check if ID has some kind of specific attributes or not and so on!

  So, I was using the regular if-else for something like 6-7times!

  if([condition]) { [do this] }else if([condition]){ [do this]}else if{[do this] }else if([condition]){ }else{ [do this]}

  When I looked back at the code, it sucked! The deep nesting of the if-else construct made the code hard to understand and comprehend! (More …)

  Today, Google launched their new service, Google Public DNS for “faster browsing experience”! (At the cost of vital technical details which Google will log for their analysis). Google claims they won’t save any personal data.

  You can merge your GNOME desktop (Ubuntu 9.10) with Google Calendar via iCalendar Format. This a very nifty hack for people who use Google Calendar and want your Linux to in sync with Google Calendar.

  What is iCalendar?

  Install Google Chrome OS on Virtual Box 

  Share on Facebook

  Google just released their latest pet, Google Chrome OS. This is not exactly what you think it is. The existing idea of an operating system is a software which is packed with load of goodies, games, system tools, a desktop, some kind of menu bar, task bar and blah blah blah!

  But Google is trying to defy that concept of a traditional operating systems. They have a built this OS which primarily targets the Internet. Their OS is the Browser! If you are running Chrome OS, you need to do all your stuff on the Internet. It has a vague offline support. I do not see any option to install some software. I would say, its not just an OS, its a Cloud Based OS.

  Will it replace Windows? – NO WAY!! (More …)

    I have installed Chrome OS on one of my netbooks and the performance of Chrome OS is just okay. there is nothing fancy or very special about it. It was just a sort of GUI version of linux or something.

    Chrome OS is just another rebranded Linux GUI, it would be much better if Google came up with an OS that would directly compete with Windows. x
