New Google Chrome Browser

Yup .... told ya so .... they used the exact same EULA for all of their products ... regardless of whether all the terms applied.

I sort of figured that was the case. However, I now wonder if they will allow users to create themes and skins for Chrome. Maybe not.

I think there actually never was a "caching problem"... It got mixed up, and misused used as a weapon for the core problem, which is "google is getting to powerfull". Nobody ever (in this thread) complained that a real caching proxy defied his copyright, only he doesn't want specifically google to cache it. I doubt they had problems of a real opensource solution search engine to cache data...

Well actually I love google book search. And I even bought one or two books already I found on book search. I mean just for academic world, it is a dream you can make a full text search of the whole "gutenberg galaxy" (that is all books written by mankind). To some degree copyright has not to defy usefullness. I mean, they show not the whole book only excerpts of what you searched. You need to buy the book if you want to see more. So whats the problem again?

About putting stuff on the internet. Yes you *are* publishing something when you upload it on a http server. And this does include that you have to provide a little more work, if you have any specific use-limitation of the content in mind which does not accord to the mediums default. Caching is the mediums default on the web.

You could as well get a TV show, and then complain about all the people who record it on the VCR. And of course you complain a lot about the TV-magazines, which do actually nothing but indexed TV-shows and they make advertisment! Directly next to a picture taken from your show! Evil, evil, evil...

I go along with Harry as about one-half of my customers come to me through the Internet and any of these are through Google AdWords clicks.

As for Chrome itself, it is a delightful implementation. Faster than either IE or FF3 and the integrated single bar on the top makes the finding of websites very easy.

From a mercenary point of view I love it because it will inspire greater advances in browsers. Competition was what made IE as good as it is today -- first from Netscape and later from Firefox. Now with a three-way battle they all can only get better. We win no matter who leads in the browser wars.

I like it a lot so far, however, I wish there was a way to make having the tabs at the top optional. I use toolbars for my apps, and unfortunately, about half the time I go to select a tab, I end up brining down the toolbar on that screen and accidentally firing up an app.

I'll wait until NoScript is available, otherwise I'm really impressed with Chrome.
