What Google Chrome Misses?
Many of you may have already used Google Chrome and found the difference between it and other internet browsers. For those who are yet to test Google Chrome, here are some features you’ll miss with some screenshots while using Google Chrome.
No History List
If you are currently using Internet Explorer or Firefox, you can see a button to the right of forward button which opens the list of recently visited pages. This list isn’t available in Google Chrome which make difficult to browse recently visited pages. However, if you click on forward or back button for around two seconds, the your recent browing history will appear. This feature isn’t what Google Chrome misses but actually has modified it.
No Properties on Right Click
How often do you use Right Click > Properties on your browser? Talking about me, I use it too often that internet browsing without it cannot even be imagined. Google Chrome misses it. You cannot view the property of document, image, or any link. When you right click on a document, you cannot see a properties option there which makes you unable to inspect the property of any item.
No Feed Reader
Though I cannot create any screenshot for this drawback, I will try to explain it. Google Chrome misses feed button which allows you to subscribe to respective feed in Internet Explorer or Firefox. Google Chrome cannot read XML files. When XML file is opened in Google Chrome Browser, it displays a plain test whereas in Internet Explorer and Firefox, RSS feeds are parsed properly and displayed to make it readable.
Conclusion
I believe Google hurried to release Chrome. It should have waited few months more to develop some strong features to defeat it’s competitor like Internet Explorer. However, being an open source browser, you can add any feature into Chrome. In default, Google Chrome has nothing new to offer.

iPhone Software Defects
iPhone is considered one of the best cell phone devices available in the market today. Despite of its popularity, I consider iPhone as one of the worst cell phone devices because of its numerous software drawbacks. I’ll try to point out all software drawbacks of iPhone device in this blog post.
No copy of text
You cannot copy any text in you iPhone device. The text you write in one application cannot be copied to another application. I consider this as one of the major defects of iPhone.
GPS doesn’t direct you
GPS in iPhone is good to locate your position but it cannot show direction to your destination from your current location.
No flash player
Though web browsing is excellent, you cannot see any flash files. Today’s webpage is made live with the use of various flash files that may be for animation, for ads or even for games. There are many websites like Nokia’s N-series website which are designed completely in Flash. Such websites and content designed in flash will not be displayed in iPhone browser.
No external applications available easily
For cell phones of other platform like Symbian, there are thousands of free applications and games available readymade. But for iPhone no much applications and games are available. iPhone software SDK was recently released and many developers have started to work for iPhone application creation.
These are the major defects of iPhone application. If you know other defects, please comment on this post.
