I knew it was all a mistake!  Googles “We own your but” EULA license which basically told users that anything they did while using Chrome, the new Browser from the company, belonged to them to do whatever they damn well please.  This drew strong anger, and yours truly was with the mob on this one.

This could be the sign of many things, and yes, one of them is the apocalypse.  Microsoft, still doing battle in sneaky ways in order to get you off your XP addiction, has been allowing the older OS to ship installed on NetBooks with 80GB HD’s.  Now it seems the Redmond company is backing off and [...]

Okay admit it.  Haven’t you always wanted to put rocks in your drink so you can turn to your friends and say ‘I got mine on the rocks?”  No?  Oh, I guess it was just …..That guy, at that party I went to.   Well. if the thought ever crossed your mind, here’s a way [...]

Someday very soon, Google will have it’s own planet, and if you wear a shirt with adSense on it, you’ll be allowed to live there.  it will be a great place, full of magic, wonder and open source.  Until then, we will have to settle for Chrome and very soon Android with Chrome on it. [...]

Now I am really ticked off with Google.  How dare they release a major new player in the game, based on Apples Webkit but make me have to fire it up on a PC.  Now I have to sit around wondering when they are going to release it for MacOSX.

Oh dang that was fast.  One day release of a beta from Google and Mozilla is all up in it!  The makers of Firefox are all over Chrome with benchmark test that show how Firefox 3.1 is faster than Googles new Chrome entry. 
The yet to be released 3.1 will be much faster so says Mozilla, [...]

Googles new Chrome Browser looks seriously promising and could very well put a major dent in the Microsoft IE domination that is already falling to Firefox.  Yesterday when the first beta went live for PC users only (yes, I’m very upset about that) thousands downloaded and started using it.  But first they had to agree [...]

Windows 7, 15 Second Boot Up?
