I know, I know .. the initial buzz about google wave is over. But, it may come back and become mainstream, lets hope so … If you are someone who is still using Google Wave, here is an extension that works similar to Gmail notifier.

You will have a small notification icon on the toolbar showing number of unread Waves in your Google Wave inbox. This is really useful for people who no longer visit their Wave accounts. You will not miss any waves if you ever get any ! You will always have this notification on your toolbar if you are logged in to your Google account, which we always do almost all the times.

The extension allows you to :
- See unread waves without opening Wave in a popup.
- Access to a specific wave directly from the popup of the extension.
- Choose icons you want to see from different sets of icons.
- Specify your preferred refresh rate.
- Specify your Google Apps domain if you’re using Wave with Google Apps.
- Open Google Wave with navigation, contacts and search box hidden if you want.

Google Seems to be following Microsoft way of launching different versions of Operating systems. Just like Windows 7 Home, and Windows 7 Professional etc, Google Chrome OS also will see a business version.

Speaking at this week’s RSA Conference, Google software security engineer Will Drewry revealed that Google will be releasing a “business version” of Chrome OS for netbooks sometime in 2011.  It will offer more “management muscle” than the consumer version.

Google is aiming at the it’s business customers who are using Google Apps for email docs and all other cloud based computing services. First Google gave them servers and software. Now, they will sell computers or laptops to use them too ! good job Google !!

Check out this video too ! pretty good one, about where google is heading ..

Google recently acquired cloud based photo editing app Picnik.com.This tool is going to be a huge win for Chrome OS. Every netbook that uses the operating system will have full access to a really good photo editor — something you traditionally needed a desktop client for.
