Well today is my birthday! Septemeber the lovely 4th. Though I’d let you know, so you can get me a cake or a card or if your very good on the internet, an e-card. I’m not going to be posting about that however. I’ll be covering one think mainly – Google chrome. I just want to add I’ve not been updating as much as I would like to because my timetable and work is filling up fast. So from now on, if there is a gap as such there will be bigger updates and more information posted.
So now Google are releasing software like CRAZY. With Anroid (not my alien) which is a unix based OS (I think) for mobile phones. Now they want to compete head on with Microsoft’s Internet explorer and Mozilla’s wonderful Firefox. Well personally, I don’t think this is a good move for me (because Google do hate me, and this might show in the post) because it’s going to help them keep an eye on me. Google are heading towards a big brother style organisation now. They know your health, address, emails, the works.
I think Googles all great and groovy for search and provide that side of things extremely well. After all, they are a search based company. However, now they are moving into other fields trying to dominate the web. I think that’s a bad move, especially with Google’s atittude and dicipline system. Strike 1 – your out for good, and don’t come back! No second chances, as almost 99.99% if you can have an investigation or appeal it’s rejected. They don’t value customers who send volume either. When I was banned from the AdWords platorm, I did some research and found out people spending $xx,xxx a month were also being suspended for no reason too.
The chrome browser to me looks like a mix between Firefox and Safari from Apple. There are some minor changes, such as the placement of tabs. Another change from the two is the input boxes are coming up in another colour instead of the blue one which shows in Safari. I must admit though, the browser was pretty fast it’s self. I don’t mean in terms of processing pages etc, I mean how it works and feels. The browser doesn’t feel slugish or slow at all. It feels pretty lite and clean – however I haven’t tested anything extensively. However, as it is Google their trust and reputation follows all of their products. Any one who uses Google, or their services have already switched to this browser. Within the week they will already have a share of the market that is substantial!
Personally, I think my own view is biased, and I will NOT support a big brother company or anything that has the potential to grow into one, especially if they are a monopoly. However, I suggest you try it yourself and really compare THEN try it yourself. Personally, it’s not for me and I’ve read about errors and bugs already.
