So here it is Goooooogle Chroooooome, woo hoo, yipee!  I’ve been hearing snippets here and there about it, but I downloaded it today and well…silence…well…it’s a browser… You know what though, I really like the simple design, easy features and ease of use that Google has basically incorporated in all their applications.  I think this might be a winner. Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera, look out. Google has discussed and promoted that the browser uses new tech to make it run faster, as well many articles have claimed the same, and compared to Firefox and IE, the pages have loaded faster, how much faster, well one page I looked at in Chrome loaded in less than half a second, and in IE it took nearly 4 seconds.  What does that mean, who knows.  With an easy to manage interface and the backing of loyal google fans, I think Chrome is here to stay.  Check it out at Google Chrome.

Thank you for your comments to yesterday’s post. In response, yes, we are having a meeting. We will meet in the computer lab to finally make sure that everyone is ok with Grade Link and, hopefully, Outlook, as well. Let me just glance at your handout, Jamie. Monica, thanks for your willingness to deal with the laminator. Marisa, I will introduce the teachers at 7pm. The junior high teachers will meet parents in the multi-purpose room. [That's the back half of the chapel with the accordian doors closed.] Teachers K-5 meet parents in the classroom. Arrival is based on the level of preparation needed beforehand. That said, don’t be later than 6:55pm.

I think that’s it for now. I don’t know about you all, but I will certainly appreciate this weekend! Have a good one.

Cute story about Earl Thaxton, son of John Frank Thaxton and Frances Hyatt of Lenawee Co., Michigan.  From the Evening Record, Traverse City, Michigan, Saturday, 30 Mar 1901:

“At Adrian, there is great rejoicing in the Thaxton household.  Earl Thaxton returned from two year’s service with the army in the Phillipines, after having been reported and believed to be dead by his parents.”

Honestly the logo of Google Chrome’s sucks; but what we can do ? nothing, it’s a “nice” software of Google.

Is that Tyga crying over his chain on the phone ?

Steven Weber writes.

McCain says he’s not going to “leave problems for some unlucky generation to fix.” Mhmm…
After his garrulous speech, our RNC watching party noticed that McCain exudes a certain William Henry Harrison, the president who holds the record for the longest inaugural speech.   AND the shortest time in office.

Before going into a feature for feature review of Chrome and Firefox I’d just like to point out something. At this point Chrome is at a very early Beta. It is supposed to be buggy and underperforming than the others. I shall point out where each browser does well. In the future whoever builds on their own strengths while copying good stuff from everyone else will be the final winner.

Feature against Feature Review:

• Startup Time and Speed: This is what got me interested in Chrome. Even in my Core 2 Duo, 1 GB RAM mahcine FF takes a second or two to fire up. But Chrome was almost instantaneous. I open and close my browser quite a few times over the day, those two seconds matter to me. Period. Chrome also performed pretty well in processing Java based apps like Gmail. FF 0 Chrome 1
• Memory Management: Conceptually Chrome is a clear winner with seprate tab processing and stoppage of memory leaks. However, it still doesn’t play well with some of the plugins, especially Flash. So a visit to Youtube and other flash based websites are quite disastrous. This has been an improvement area for FF for too long, particularly on the issue of memory leaks. I’m just sad that Google got the concept right on this early beta. (I’m a FF fanboy) If you use non-flash websites and open a few tabs, Chrome takes much less memory. Closing the tabs also frees up more memory in Chrome than FF. FF 0 Chrome 2
• Look and Feel: Chromes tab-at-at-the-top, omnibox, translucent windows, lack of a statusbar works for me. I like the small animations in moving tabs, starting downloads,  closing and opening windows, reattaching and reorganizing tabs. They just make a mundane task a little bit bearable. I also like the option to use web apps through stand alone shortcuts. FF 0 Chrome 3
• Javascript and Other Support: Yes chrome was faster, but it still does not play too well with a lot of Google’s own websites. And in some Ajax based sites, particularly Facebook, it couldn’t process some codes properly and they showed up beside text boxes and other places. For now at least, FF 2 Chrome 3 (This is worth 2 points to me on any day)
• Plugins and Customizability: Chrome doesn’t even come close to FF. A lot of Chrome and Operas features can be mimicked through plugins. This advantage alone is worth three points to FF. However, I should point out that Google plans to bring plugin support to Chrome and if only a few major FF plugins make it to Chrome then the whole game would change. FF 5 Chrome 3
• Omnibox vs. Awesome Bar: I’d say I like both. Neither is a clear winner yet. I like the search engine integration in chrome. But FF is better at giving suggestions from history and bookmarks. Somehow I felt Omnibox was a bit confusing, but that maybe just from lack of familiarity. But all in all it’s a draw. FF 5 Chrome 3

To summarize, Chrome is not ready for mainstream yet. It excels in unchartered territories, but lacks in the common ground. I can guess that Chrome will learn to play a lot better and will sort out a lot of the kinks. I am amazed that Chrome works with so many websites at such an early stage. If they listen to the feature requests and bug reports (which I think they will), Chrome has the potential to be at the top. However, I’ll be sticking to Firefox for the days to come. Having said that, I’m not going to uninstall chrome either. Because when Chrome hits 1.0

I just might switch.
