I just read about it last night but was still on my three-day-weekend-long stay from anything work-related. I’ll have to grab it sometime this morning (assuming there’s a mac version).

According to my source: The beta for the Windows version is due to be released at 18:00[citation needed] GMT, September 2, 2008. Mac OS X and Linux versions are under development and will follow the Windows version.

My source may be wikipedia.

Chrome = shiny, crisp metal facade = reference to the glimmering promise of 50’s Jet Age futurism = thoughts of the old attractions from Disney World’s Tomorrowland rotting on some backlot = checks outside and notices that we still lack flying cars and houses on giant stilts = dreams die = Google’s new browser will suck

Did you guys know that in the 20s they were developing silver colored “chrome” and gold colored “chrome” at the same time for cars and stuff? (Obviously the gold color would have been something besides chrome.) The silver color worked out better in mass production, and thus our cars come with chrome.

My high school science teacher told me that story. It may be true.

I’m very curious to see how this new browser handles web apps in a way more natural and intuitive than our current browsers.

Wow speed:

  • Chrome: 471ms
  • FF3 3.0.1: 2362ms
  • Opera 9.52: 2490ms
  • FF trunk with tracemonkey: 1316ms
  • Safari 3.1.2: 2355ms
  • Safari nightly r36012: 1642ms

(from testing on the http://dromaeo.com/ javascript benchmarks. Across the board, people are getting speeds 4-5x faster than FF3, and 2-3x faster than Safari.

Downloaded it on XP at work today, it installed then immediately crashed with an “Oh Snap! Error Message xc0000005.” Uninstalled, tried again, failed again.

Happened to the IT guy, too.

About The Scrabbled

The Scrabbled is a group of people blogging about and linking to all manner of things. Usually we argue and make fun of each other. Everybody knows everybody through somebody so there are no strangers here. Most of us have even met in real life! If you happen to personally know someone here and would like to start arguing with and/or making fun of someone, shoot John an email and ask to sign up. Otherwise, you're just going to have to read in relative silence. Sorry.
