Windows 7 Public Beta Released
Windows 7 beta is not new, because it has already been leaked many times on torrents. But for people who have been waiting for the official public beta, the wait is finally over!
You must have already read that Windows 7 Beta (build 7000) has been available for download for MSDN and Technet subscribers a day earlier than going public. So, today, on January 9th, the doors were finally opened for public to get their hands on the first beta of Microsoft’s next OS, Windows 7.
New Google Favicon Spotted
It was last year in May, when Google came out with a new favicon image for their sites. No one expected it to release a new favicon again this year.
They have now replaced the ‘g’ favicon with a more colorful one. For some reason, I don’t like the new one. Google.com now has the new favicon, along with other Google sites slowly getting the update.
