Identifying genuine Indian currency notes

As you would have read in the news, unimaginable number of fake currency notes are in circulation. Apart from Govt. putting in efforts to solve this mess, we have to be careful when we are transacting. Don't wait till you get yourself in a fix and then wonder what to do. Know how to identify genuine currency right now - http://www.rbi.org.in/Scripts/ic_banknotessecurity.aspx
The different denominations we have - http://www.rbi.org.in/Scripts/ic_banknotes.aspx
It is better to transact online as much as possible.

On a lighter note:
"Go green" - is that the motive of who ever is behind all this mess? :-D May be they are trying to promote online banking.

Google Chrome

http://www.google.com/chrome has just come in at the right time when I was getting frustrated with Firefox because it has been eating up my RAM like crazy. It goes beyond 120MB many times! I downloaded Chrome right-away and soon found that Hotmail doesn't load in Chrome! Does Hotmail consider Chrome to be a primitive browser when Google claims it to be something totally new - http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/?


PS: Yahoo! Mail works absolutely neat in Chrome :-)

Update:
Thanks to Chrome for now taking away 20MB x k from my system RAM, where k = number of tabs opened :-(
