The only news doing round at the moment seems to be Google Chrome...
"Google’s new browser will give you their web and email services, photo processing, mapping, office applications that will run in said browser and will make you a cup of tea. This is all paid for by personally-directed text ads in your tea leaves, based on analysing a DNA sample taken when you sip the tea and sending your genetic code back to Google for future targeting. "
18 years after The first web browser - or browser-editor rather - called WorldWideWeb - we now have a daddy of all applications - so much so that the brainy guys working at our beloved Google centre had to come out with a special comic strip to explain the 'Chrome-O -Somes' for the rest of world ( read not so brainy guys)
Scared that i might be left behind in this new fad i installed the "chrome" and guess what ... its all blue.... now, I am not a color freak or something but i have started blaming microsoft for all the blue-blue that i see on my screen ( though i do blame them for everything that i see on my computer screen) still, heck it gives all those Beta-ish feel of a product just been born out of google labs.....
and apart form the emotional reasons what is the need to switch over .... i dont understand this battle at all between market dominance by IE7, FIREFox and now chrome....
I , like million others , enjoy using a simple browsing interface, unclattered by those stubborn widgets, light on my system, and of course potential error free... and i get my dose from Firefox which i keep on updating as and when suggested....
N Chrome is actually a vehicle for Google's applications..A "trojan horse browser" since it integrates Google's other programs, such as Mail, Docs and Spreadsheets as well as Desktop Search, and these run offline using Google Gears, no matter which operating system is in use. Since these Google programs are free of charge, Chrome could give them, and consequently cloud computing, a powerful boost.
Others have already suggested that Google would use Chrome to intrude on their privacy.
Even when Google insists that it collects no personal data, critical observers go on red alert. A data disaster at AOL, resulting in 20 million search queries by 658,000 of its clients becoming public knowledge, made it clear, if it had not been abundantly clear before then, that directly personal information is not necessarily required in order to draw conclusions about users from the queries they make.
I can wait to see where this is leading but till then , from the bottom of my heart...I luv =>
