Google Chrome browser announced: integrated search, improved JavaScript
,----[ Quote ]
| Google have announced plans to take on Microsoft and Firefox with their own
| open-source browser, codenamed Chrome, by releasing a specially drawn comic
| by Scott McCloud explaining the app. Based on the existing Webkit rendering
| engine, Chrome will integrate not only tab-based browsing but Google Gears
| and a newly integrated search and address system called Omnibox.

It'll be interesting to see what licence they choose.

Why Firefox Will Be Ubiquitous
,----[ Quote ]
| Clearly, this is the most problematic aspect of what otherwise is an amazing
| capability. I'm already addicted to it, even though it's still a bit clunky
| under GNU/Linux: it simply makes things that I do all the time – emailing
| links, doing word counts of Web pages, mapping addresses, translating foreign
| language sites – trivially easy.
|
| If you want to see the future of the Web, I suggest you download it and try
| it out. It's yet another reason why Firefox, already hugely enriched through
| myriad extensions, will take over from Internet Explorer, and yet another
| example of how open source is becoming a hotbed of online innovation.

Introducing Ubiquity
,----[ Quote ]
| You’re writing an email to invite a friend to meet at a local San Francisco
| restaurant that neither of you has been to. You’d like to include a map.
| Today, this involves the disjointed tasks of message composition on a
| web-mail service, mapping the address on a map site, searching for reviews on
| the restaurant on a search engine, and finally copying all links into the
| message being composed. This familiar sequence is an awful lot of clicking,
| typing, searching, copying, and pasting in order to do a very simple task.
| And you haven’t even really sent a map or useful reviews—only links to them.
