Least RAM Usage : Chrome vs Opera

Salam.

Once again, i have done a little research on the topic 'least RAM usage' and this time, i compared these two popular browsers by the demand of a reader. It's Chrome 3.0.195.6 vs Opera 9.64. And this time, it's not the portable version because i'm using my father's computer, and not my friend's. I started out with Chrome vs Firefox : Portable and now moving on to the second series of my research. Well, the results are not very surprising, but it was a close fight.

First, i downloaded the Opera installer, installed it and the fun begins! Here's the steps i've taken in this series.

1. open Opera.

2. open two tabs and typed in "www.google.com.my" and "rishamfikir.blogspot.com"

3. open Chrome.

4. (repeated step 2)

5. open Windows Task Manager, clicked the 'Processes' tab.

6. arranged the processes according to name(makes it easier to search for)

7. searched for 'chrome.exe' and 'opera.exe'

8. memorized the RAM usage.

So, which one do you think wins? How about a guess? Just guess. Anything. Yeah, guessing have 50% of either right or wrong. So, it's not worth of guessing right? Ok. Before i continue, here's some things i noticed about both browsers.

Opera loads pretty fast. It loads rishamfikir.blogspot.com completely faster than Chrome. Wow! I was quite impressed. But then, after a close inspection, it didn't load every object in the homepage. Chrome on the other hand did took a longer loading time, but did load every object successfully.

In the end,here's the results :

Opera - 33,*** KB

Chrome - 27,*** KB

I told you it was a close one. They're just about 6,000KB different. Both browsers are great, the appearances are great, easy to navigate, and much more. Not just these two, it applies to other popular browsers too. Of course, the ones i've used only; Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari(i'm aiming to buy a Mac). I haven't tried Netscape yet, but will do so as soon as i remembers to do so.

Well then, that's all for this series. Tune in again next time for comparisons on other browsers.!

Bye then.

Sekian.

Salam. Before you continue reading, i want to remind all of you that you must follow whatever i say in this article. So, do we have a deal? Ok. I trust you. Here's the deal. You must read this article carefully and in order. What i mean is you must finish every single line before you move on to the next line. This article really need that.

Ok. Now i want you to watch this video below. I first watched it a couple of days ago, in the television. Please, watch this video first, then move on to the next line, or scroll down, literally. Even if you have watched this video before, please do watch it again. It's worth waiting for isn't it? While you wait for the video to fully load, i suggest you read my other posts in a new tab or just surf the Net for newspapers, football, anything you can think of. Remember, watch it first, then scroll further down. Oh. One more thing. Keep an eye for every reaction the actor give. Keep the expressions in mind.



Done? Great. i believe you're true to yourself, by watching the video till the very end. The video, as you has watched, a TV commercial for PETRONAS, Malaysia's fuel company. And i was told that it was produced by the late Yasmin Ahmad, who passed away a few weeks ago. i was also told that the commercial was actually an interview. Yasmin Ahmad, the director intended to interview the best friends and make it as a commercial for Malaysia's Independence Day or in Bahasa is 'Hari Kemerdekaan Malaysia'.

The commercial, i believe was intended to show that we, Malaysians are now one community, one society. There is no differentiating or discriminating(which also means differentiating or sorting) between us anymore. We are now members of the country and are responsible for its well being. We only discriminate between the good and evil, or good and bad, nice or naughty.

Do you still have the expression in mind? Tan Hong Ming was very very shocked to hear Umi Qazrina's answer. He probably said to himself, "What? What an idiot I am. How can I not notice it earlier? I should have told her earlier. Oh God, thank you for this blessing." Yeah. He was very shocked and probably embarrassed that he decided to take her hand and completely ignore the camera rolling!

Oh, how i wish i could be him. Shocked with no words to describe the situation. Hah. But the problem is, i don't even have a best friend who happens to be a girl. Yeah, i do have someone in mind, but i guess i'm just like Hong Ming. Afraid that the whole world would know and she doesn't even like me. i do wish i have the same situation as him. But, hey. That's primary school. And i'm in college. That's a different degree of level of education. Plus the mind setting, how they are raised and what ideology the child has developed with the amount of years they have lived. i guess those won't happen to me. If it does, maybe i'll end up like this. Almost the same as Hong Ming.

Until next time then.

What Your Blogs Should Have : Part 2

Salam. Hi. Welcome back to this series. In this part, i'll continue from where i left earlier. Previously, i've commented on the service, the theme and choice of color and appearances. Here's the part 2.

Since you have chosen the themes, you should know what to type. Get an idea of what you want to tell your readers about. But then, if you're still confused of what to type even after days of brainstorming, just type about your life. Writing about your life will bring you lots of traffic. It gets better if you're a hot guy or girl. People (or should i say your secret admirers) certainly will read about your life. Maybe it's just me, but Malaysians do love to read other people's stories, about their lives. This also means that your posts or articles also need a theme. My theme here is 'whatever i think of typing'.

Next, you need to boost your traffic. At early stages, family members and close friends are the ones who will unconditionally read your blogs. But then, after some time, some of us will have the urge to boost their traffic and reach a more global group of readers. You can try and submit your URL to various websites that offer exchanging links, or where people practices "i read yours, you read mine" policy. It's not a big secret. You can just Google for them. I won't give you the links here because i obviously don't want to advertise them for free. No one does that anymore right?

Then, beautify your blog with necessary gadgets or widgets. The most crucial gadget/widget (to me) is the archive. Without the archive, the links to your older posts will be minimal. The only link to your older posts by default is the "Read older posts" link at the end of each posts/articles. Even that link doesn't stand out that much. You don't want your older posts to be dead, right? Make sure you supply you readers with necessary links and gadgets to move around your blog. Like the one i have here, i use navigation bar to help my readers go back to the homepage with ease.

And the last one, good luck in your blogging journey. May blogging be a joyous experience to all of us. Thank you for reading.
