As if we didn’t have enough to juggle , Google adds their own browser to the mix . Google Chrome was released a few hours ago for Windows XP & Vista. A Mac version is promised at some point. Even though I’m a Mac user, it was worth a launch of VMWare Fusion to take the new kid on the block for a spin.
Initial impression? Nice start. I’m certainly not going to shout from the rooftops because Google puts its tabs above the address bar. Yes, it’s different. But in some areas of the browser it feels different for different’s sake which does nothing for productivity.
What sets Chrome apart, clearly, is how it manages resources. The browser is the operating system, and like with any modern OS each application is handled separately. I think of all us who live in Firefox know what it’s like to have 30 tabs open and be stuck because one is being ornery. The fact that Firefox has the ability to restore sessions after a crash or browser restart is ...

Things just got a lot more complicated for Mitchell Baker, the Mozilla Foundation's chairman and "chief lizard wrangler."
Gone are the days when Microsoft's Internet Explorer was the sole rival for Mozilla's Firefox. A new open-source browser, Google Chrome , has come to town, and it's from the company that provided $66 million of the Mozilla Foundation's $75 million in 2007 revenue .

Via our clairvoyant Flummox comes the chat of Flogos , a aggregation that makes machines that accomplish clouds shaped like accumulated logos. The clouds are fabricated from “proprietary surfactant (soap) based cream formulations and lighter-than-air gases such as helium.” Some videos to illustrate: Nintendo’s Kirby (below) and a agglomeration of added samples (on Flogos’ site).

Ogólnie wszyscy wiemy, że spam nam przeszkadza. Zabiera cenny czas. W firmach - generuje pewne koszty związane z pozbywaniem się go każdego dnia. Ale ile konkretnie tego czasu zabiera i jakie koszty ponosimy usuwając niechciane wiadomości reklamowe?
Google postanowił na te pytania odpowiedzieć. Rzecz jasna nie tak całkiem bezinteresownie, ale fakt faktem za darmo.

Have a thorny development question? Take your pick of groups and discussion boards, where someone will spend time and effort to get you an answer. Need to know what the capital of Andorra is? Wikipedia is your friend.
It’s easy to consume this wealth of free support - but do you produce any of i... more
Over at Lifehacker, Gina Trapani has posted an excellent opinion piece taking a second look at the deluge of studies that tell us how much information overload is keeping us from getting work done. Like Lifehacker, we’ve certainly been a cog in the machine that keeps up this drumbeat of studies and solutions, all designed to protect us from the deluge.
But we’re also in agreement that the message of overload gets used to promote products more than it does to really get to the ... more
More Secure GMail From: webworkerdaily.com Post Date: 2008-07-25 08:00:00
Google’s GMail has always used the secure https: protocol to protect logins, but it would allow you to switch to an insecure http: session after you were connected. While this can speed things up, it’s potentially a problem for those of us who are on-the-go: unencrypted mail traffic can be snooped on by anyone in WiFi range of your laptop.
That’s why its nice to see the new “Browser Connection” item in GMail’s settings; you can use this to force all ... more
Charlie Chaplin is one of the most iconic performers of our time. He is known across generations and cultures, and his films are still enjoyed today. Is it possible for a web worker to be that memorable?
Possibly. But internet technology and culture is still too young for us to say for sure. Still, there are some things that the average web worker can do to be almost as memorable as Chaplin.
The first impression counts. The first time people saw Charlie Chaplin’s Tramp char... more
