There have been a number of timed and anecdotal speed tests performed on Google Chrome over the last couple of days.
My personal testing: Chrome is the fastest browser I have ever used. More structured TechCrunch testing showed similar results: It’s fast . Here are what others came up with:
CNET agrees , but their approach was biased towards Google. Chrome came out way ahead in a suite of Javascript benchmark tests. The only problem is that Google hosts the tests and flat out says they tuned their V8 Javascript engine around them. The test does show Chrome coming out way ahead of other browsers (for me, Chrome had a score of 403 v. IE7’s 18). Try it out for yourself.
And also try the SunSpider Javascript benchmark test as well. Firefox’s new build, which runs the TraceMonkey engine, comes in marginally faster than Chrome there.
Today Yahoo’s Zimbra team also published their own test results based on how well different browsers...

While it’s not official, SanDisk is getting ready to launch a new mid-market PMP called the Fuze. Aimed at the 3rd generation iPod Nano, the Fuze will be an SSD-based tiny-screen having PMP that appears to have almost all the same features as the iPod Nano, plus an FM radio, but with more storage, possibly up to 16GB.
So far, SanDisks PMPs have been pretty decent, I’ve had a Sansa for awhile and it’s a great alternative to the iPod. You contrarians should have love in you... more

The Rock Band drum kit continues to attract modders of all stripes, and we’re loving the crazy directions people are taking it -- like this beatboxing kick drum mod from Kevin Child. It’s a simple hack -- Kevin simply used a Thumper vocal-percussion mike to activate the pedal trigger -- but it’s pretty sweet in action, responding to nearly any noise he makes. We’d love to see this thing filtered through a computer with the different pads as... more

Man, Qtrax just can’t stop lying about those label deals , can it? The company issued a press release over the weekend saying it has (finally) signed up with Sony / BMG, Universal, EMI and Warner, but Wired did a little bit of digging and found out that Qtrax isn’t being exactly honest -- spokespeople from all four labels flatly denied that any deals were in place. Apparently there have been some experimental licenses and older deals m... more
As if it wasn’t enough that your Nano was counting your every step through the chip in your Nike+ shoes, now it can track every mile you pretend to bike at the the gym. Ellipticals and such, too. They’re teaming up with 24 Hour Fitness and some Virgin thing to provide machines that track your use, assuming you have the time and inclination to plug your gear into the the thing’s port. You can then take it home and plug it in at home, at which point it will upload its data to... more
