Google Chrome
I’m sure you didn’t miss the hype about Google Chrome. I just installed it within a Windows VM (using Parallels on my Mac) and it feels… incredibly fast! I’m impressed.
I really like the website thumbnail tiles used as home screen (but I’ve been told that feature has been “borrowed” from Opera). And then… the browser is reduced to what you really need. Very nice indeed.
Nevertheless. I’ll keep using Firefox.

Yay. In the Microsoft IE blog, the IE developers announced that Internet Explorer 8 will come with its own customized

Why follow standards? Why force HTML designers to think a tiny, little bit before setting up a website. Hint: Windows is NOT the only operating system on this planet and IE is also not the only browser. Come on, IE team, you know that…)? Why support platform-independent GUIs? Hint No. 2: have you seen this piece of software called “Internet Explorer” on any kind of mobile phone not running Windows Mobile? Who has the most market share in that market? I doubt, no I know it’s certainly not Microsoft.
And I was so naive to think someone finally did their homework. Awesome, Microsoft. Welcome back to the 1990s.
