Google will be finally launching the beta version of it’s open source browser built using the WebKit rendring engine , named “Chrome“.

In Chrome, each tab will have an individual process, and each will have it’s own browser controls and address bar. So if one tab dies only one process will die , thus adding stability. It also has a process manager which allows the user to see how much memory and CPU each tab is taking up, as well as kill off unresponsive tabs.

Having used components from from Apple’s WebKit and Mozilla Firefox among others, Google has made it’s browser open source.

The browser will include a JavaScript Virtual Machine called V8, built from scratch by a team in Denmark, and open-sourced as well so other browsers could include it.

The beta release date is scheduled for September 2nd.

There will be a session on Robotics on Friday 22nd August, which will be held by Siddharth Nangia (Exun batch 2006). He was the person behind the extremely well produced Exun video (2006) and his skills in photoshop and likewise are unchallenged. He was also part of Roboknights (the robotics club of D.P.S. R.K. Puram) and has received a certificate from IIT in the field of robotics.

It’s highly encouraged that Exun members and non-members alike come for the session as none of the previous batches have got such an exposure. The session will take place in the 4th and 5th periods. Interested students must reach the Web Resource Center (egurucool lab) as soon as the break ends.

This is to notify all Exun members that there will be a meeting in the break on Friday 22nd August 2008 in Computer Lab- IV to finalize participants for the upcoming events, collect articles for the Underscore Magazine, organise Exun 2008 and other related topics.

This is a very important meeting and ALL exun members MUST attend it.

Aviral Goyal and Kartikeya Asthana
