I’ve been using Google’s Music locker / streaming service for awhile now. You get to upload 20,000 tracks and getting them on is a breeze with Google’s Music Manager. I’m running Fedora 16 now and here’s I got Google Music Manager running on it.

1. Get into your home downloads directory.
# cd ~/Downloads
2. Download the Google Music Manager rpm.
64bit:
# wget http://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-musicmanager-beta_current_x86_64.rpm
32bit:
# wget http://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-musicmanager-beta_current_i386.rpm

3. Satisfy the dependencies. Install the qt-x11 package.
# sudo yum install qt-x11
4. Install the Google Music Manager package.
# sudo yum localinstall google-musicmanager-beta_current_x86_64.rpm

Possible error; make sure you have qt-x11 installed.
[danesh@pandora ~]$ google-musicmanager
/usr/bin/google-musicmanager: error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This has to be amongst the coolest Google doodles out there. It’s to celebrate Jules Verne’s 183rd birthday.

If you didn’t already know, Jules Verne‘s the man behind the well known Novells Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth and Around the World in Eighty Days.

Use the joystick control on the right to navigate the GOOGLE submarine around :D , cool ha?

Waited for the PUK code prompt to come up but it never did. Apparently there’s none, traditionally on other phones you’s get a dedicated prompt for the PUK code but on the Nexus One you use the “phone pad” instead.

Here’s the walk-through.

1. Call your carrier and have them provide you the PUK code. You might be able to obtain your PUK code from your carrier’s web page also, like mine.

2. Turn the phone on, wait till you see the locked message comes up.

3. Select the emergency call option. Input the the below code through the key pad.
**05* (PUK CODE) * (NEW PIN) * (CONFIRM NEW PIN) #

Your Google Nexus One should be unlocked now.

Google, today released a new stable release of it’s popular web browser Google Chrome packed with all the beta goodies we have come to love. To add to the excitement, this will also be the first stable release of the browser for the Linux and Mac platforms.

What’s in it you ask?

1. HTML 5, Geolocation APIs, App Cache, web sockets, and file drag-and-drop. Make sure to try drag n drop in GMAIL!!

2. Improved sync. Bookmarks, themes, preferences, homepage and startup settings, web content settings, preferred languages, and even page zoom settings.

3. Enable individual extensions in incognito mode.

Your Chrome browser should auto update but if you can’t wait grab a copy here.

With online privacy being the main concern for most internet users today, Google has responded to them by introducing SSL support to its search.

Google SSL Search will encrypt all your search traffic preventing any third party eyes from looking at it. Browsing over https will also disable “referrer” which site owners normally use to see where you’re coming from.

With + there is always – so do remember that browsing in SSL does have an encryption overhead which will slightly degrade the search performance.

Also, the amount of data collected from your search is the same as the standard search but just more secure. Without this data Google will be nothing :)

When you are on the new SSL search page you will realize that the Google logo looks different. It will have “ssl” and “beta” in it. Also, maps and images will not show up as they don’t support SSL yet.

Simple goto https://google.com to start searching in privacy.

Google’s doodle today was to remind us that PAC-MAN had turned 30, that’s my age!!.

PAC-MAN was a game by Bandai Namco, Japan which quickly became a hit selling 100,000 copies a year.
