Look at the bottom of the open book where it says "orange," scan to the right, and check the Taskbar program tabs.GPSIO is a web browser extension (and supporting 'native host') that aids the transfer of GPS data between web pages and GPS devices. I don't know who the folks at OrangeLabel are looking for in the way of clients, but they've got some thinking to do. Listen to an assortment of people reading a few lines of poetry, then guess where they're from. Guess my accent had me running in circles.

Google's Chrome aims to kill Windows, make Web the OS of choice.

"Researcher: Chrome's Isolated Tabs Make It Memory 'Pig'".

"Carpet-bombing Flaw Discovered in Chrome".

"Google Chrome Speedy? Not So Fast, Say Some".

"Google's Chrome: 7 Reasons for It and 7 Reasons Against It".

If you want to read lots about Chrome, here's a bevy of articles: So cloud computing may be pie-in-the-sky right now-but five years down the road, you might not be laughing. The audience laughed because few people had broadband back then. The presenter had an intriguing idea: Instead of doing research using Microsoft's CD-based encyclopedia, Encarta, just reach out to Encarta on the Internet for fresh, dynamic data.

That's what I thought, too-until I remembered when Microsoft showed off a prerelease version of Windows 95 at a users group I used to manage. I know what you're thinking: Everything online? That's crazy. (See "Zoho Adds Google Docs-like File Management" and "Working with Google Docs," part 1 and part 2.) The idea is cloud computing, where applications and data reside on servers, and it's taking hold.

The idea is, a small kernel on your local system could boot you into directly into Chrome, or a server-based operating system, and you could start working sans Windows. Remember, each of Chrome's tabs is a separate window-and while you might see each window displaying a Web page, Google's thinking about applications. Google may be pitching Chrome as a super-duper browser, but I think it's really showing off its shiny new operating system. A buddy had a similar complaint about his Firefox bookmarks. And it couldn't import more than about 10 percent of my IE favorites. Read more about Ad Muncher in "15 Downloads That Will Block Annoying Ads and Pop-Ups."Ī couple more complaints: I can't add links to external tools onto Chrome's toolbar. RoboForm stores passwords and logs me into sites read more about it in "25 Products We Can't Live Without." And Chrome won't let Ad Muncher do its extraordinary job of ad blocking (sure, Chrome blocks pop-ups, but it doesn't touch banner, Flash, or other irritating ads). My biggest gripe, though, is that Chrome ignores RoboForm and Ad Muncher. He'd also miss Web of Trust (WOT) and IE Tab. complained that he can't use tons of Firefox Plugins such as Shutterfly Uploader, Photosynth, or Garmin Communicator. Some of my Firefox buddies have also tried and released Chrome because it's missing features they rely on. Even a simple task like dragging and dropping a link onto a browser window to open a new tab isn't available. For instance, Chrome won't let me assign a sticky to a tab, send a tab to the desktop, or create groups of Web sites.

I'm a huge fan of Maxthon, a free browser that uses IE's engine, and Chrome doesn't even come close.

The browser's underlying architecture, and the tab independence, lets most Web sites fly open faster than I've seen since I moved to broadband from dial-up.Ĭhrome is still in development, so it's missing those cool things built into your favorite browser, the tools you're used to having at your disposal.

Speed-fast-loading pages-is Chrome's best achievement (aside from scaring the pants off of Microsoft, of course). Each tab is independent, so if one tab is slow loading, or has a scripting problem and jams, there's no adverse impact on the others. The fact that each tab is really a window running a separate process is innovative and smart. Sure, I know that you've read reviews of Chrome, and many of you have tried it. I did an informal poll on a private list I moderate and with 100 people responding, 60 percent of the responders tried Chrome, but went back to their original browser. Chrome wasn't on the list when I checked the other day.

According to PC 's tracking service, 36 percent of all visitors to the site use Firefox, 31 percent use Internet Explorer 7, 17 percent use IE 6, and the rest are on Safari, Opera, AOL, and Mozilla. I don't know whether to doubt that-or just wonder. One article I saw recently says Chrome grabbed a bunch of users in short order (see "Chrome Grabs 1 Percent of Market in Under 24 Hours"). The company released its Chrome Web browser and everyone's writing about it.
