Blink - New Web Rendering Engine for Google Chrome

 New Browser Engine By Google

courtesy cnet

WebKit is an open source web browser engine was originally created by Apple as a fork to the KHTML rendering engine, and it powers the Apple Safari , Google Chrome and Opera. Over 20 companies now contributing to the project. Now Google develop a new engine called Blink as part of the Chromium project, announced in Wednesday, April 03, 2013 . It is a fork of the WebKit engine. and Google Chrome and Opera will use blink as rendering engine in future versions of Chrome and Opera.

Why blink

Why blink- first look at the commits to the webkit project by different developers.

courtesy bitergia.com

From the above Image we can understand that Google has been the most active contributor of WebKit in the recent years. This graph shows Google's number of "commits" to WebKit over the years. thats why BLINK .  Google will concentrate its browser development on Blink which will forgeot the WebKit project.WebKit is an open-source project so anyone can modify the software.till now Google and Apple together contributing to the same code base.Now With Blink Google will working very hard to add new features and new Web standards, Apple also. more heat on web developers head!

Apple mode no comments about the news. Look at the  googles words about blink

"Chromium uses a different multi-process architecture than other WebKit-based browsers, and supporting multiple architectures over the years has led to increasing complexity for both the WebKit and Chromium projects. This has slowed down the collective pace of innovation - so today, we are introducing Blink, a new open source rendering engine based on WebKit. n the short term, Blink will bring little change for web developers. The bulk of the initial work will focus on internal architectural improvements and a simplification of the codebase. For example, we anticipate that we’ll be able to remove 7 build systems and delete more than 7,000 files—comprising more than 4.5 million lines—right off the bat. Over the long term a healthier codebase leads to more stability and fewer bugs. "

Google Keep - a place to keep things safe

What you Think?  Keep Here – GOOGLE KEEP ready…...!!!

While we are at home, office or in tour, we may have many things to keep in mind. As it is quite difficult to memorize all these things, our usual way is to just note it on a piece of paper and put it on the table, the shelf, or the cupboard. Later when we search them again and if it may be out of our sight, hardly we feel mad. Therefore, these types of effort are totally a waste of time.

Now Google launched an application called ‘Google Keep’, which can act as a complete solution for the above problems. It allows one to quickly note down what comes in their mind on the move. Also based on priority, a user can arrange these notes and there is option to include checklists, photos etc for their convenience. Google Drive stores all these notes safely and automatically synchronized to all our devices so we can have them at all times in sight. We can create, edit and access new notes straightly from Google Drive. Now Google Keep is accessible on Google Play for all devices on Android 4.0 and up. After installing the application in our devices, we have to choose a Google account for using keep. Once an account selected, we can start keeping notes.



Notes can be entering by different ways. We can enter directly from the textbox, add checklists my marking check box, add photos to notes using camera, giving voice memo using microphones will transcribe to notes automatically. Keep allows us to assign colors for each note so that we will get a colorful view. Colors are selecting from color palette on the top. The users can categorize notes and are able to assign different colors for each category. The users can take photos and add it to the notes through camera option at the top of the screen. How to use Google Keep Using Keep only speaking requires no typing —Keep does it for us by transcribing voice memos automatically. When we are done through a note, we can archive or delete it.

Using menu options, we change the layout from single-column view to multicolumn view.

The Google Keep offers all functionalities in just few clicks. It rapidly captures what is on our mind and reminds it easily wherever we are. Google keep – a place to keep things safe.
