Monza and More - Do we have a new Schumi?

This post has been in my drafts since the Italian GP. First of all treacherous conditions for the drivers. The star of Monza Sebastian Vettel became the youngest ever driver to win a Formula 1 race. It also brought about the first victory for Torro Rosso formerly Minardi. I remember watching Minardi in the 2002 season when Ferrari was unstoppable and wondered - Will they ever be able to match the front runners? I guess they have answered their critics. After a long time I saw a German Driver winning for an Italian team and at the presentation ceremony hearing the same sequence of national anthems when Schumi used to win for Ferrari. I hope Vettel will one day drive for Scuderia after all it is said that Schumi discovered him. Vettel still want's everyone not to compare him with Schumi. Ferrari though could not match the pace in their home GP and Massa who should have taken advantage of Hamilton's situation just managed to finish one place ahead. Then came the Singapore GP. F1&#

Google Chrome- The new kid on the block!

"The web gets better with more options and innovation. Google Chrome is another option, and we hope it contributes to making the web even better." - Google Well being a fan of google for quite some time now so I decided to try out Google Chrome. I did try Apple Safari to Windows and fell in love with it. The only problem with Safari was that it was unstable and sometimes a real memory hog. So I switched back to old faithful Firefox 2. I was quite impressed by IE 7 but due to some office applications not supporting IE 7 I had to stay on IE 6 as my back up browser. Damn... Then came in Firefox 3... Wicked! The Address bar acting as your history search is the most amazing feature. I normally don't use add- ons on FF much except for PDF Downloader and Download Them All.. FF3 made my browsing experience far better than any of the browsers I tried. The neat bookmarking feature cut out my time to add bookmarks and I could sit and organize them at a later point in time.
