A new Chrome stable release: Welcome, Mac and Linux!
,----[ Quote ]
| In our most recent beta release, we fired
| up all engines to bring to life our
| fastest version of Chrome to date.
|
| Today, weâre bringing all this beta
| goodness to the stable channel so that
| itâs available to all Chrome users. Weâre
| particularly excited to bring Chrome for
| Mac and Linux out of beta, and introduce
| Chromeâs first stable release for Mac and
| Linux users. You can read more about the
| Mac and Linux stable releases on the
| Google Mac and Chromium blogs
| respectively.

Google Chrome grows up: Out of beta on Mac/Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Although Iâm perfectly happy clicking away
| in Opera, Firefox, or Chrome/Chromium, the
| speed/stability improvements in this
| cross-platform release make for a pretty
| compelling argument to stick with Chrome,
| especially for those of us who spend a lot
| of time in Google Apps and AJAX-heavy
| sites.

Interesting times for Linux Flash support
,----[ Quote ]
| Although many proponents of free software
| and an open web don't like Flash, the
| multimedia platform has become so
| ubiquitous that it is difficult to imagine
| the web without it. However, Flash support
| has always been a challenge for Linux
| distributions. Adobe has had a proprietary
| Linux release of its Flash player software
| for years now, but only for the x86
| processor architecture. Meanwhile, open
| source projects trying to recreate Flash
| functionality are lagging behind and
| struggling with lack of manpower. Luckily,
| there are also some interesting new
| technical developments in the open source
| Flash world. One that sparked our interest
| recently is Lightspark, which was written
| from scratch based on the SWF
| documentation Adobe published in June 2009
| as part of the Open Screen Project.
|
| [...]
|
| But x86 and preliminary x86_64 support for
| Flash obviously isn't enough in the open
| source world. Granted, Adobe is or has
| been working with some mobile phone
| manufacturers to offer a version for ARM
| (for example on MeeGo or Android), but
| people running a Linux desktop system on a
| non-Intel processor are left in the cold.
| Until last year, your author was in
| exactly this position, running Debian on a
| PowerMac G5. If non-Intel users want to
| run the official Flash player they have to
| use ugly solutions such as running Flash
| in an x86 emulator.
|
| Luckily there are some open source
| programs recreating Flash functionality,
| of which the most well-known is Gnash
| ("GNU Flash"), which also runs on PowerPC,
| ARM and MIPS processors. It's not even
| limited to Linux: Gnash also supports
| FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, so it
| pleases a lot of people that don't want to
| run proprietary software on their open
| source operating system but have to be
| able to see Flash content. In March we
| looked at the current state of affairs of
| Gnash when project lead Rob Savoye talked
| about the project at SCALE 8x.

Nautilus Elementary Simplifies File Browsing in Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux only: While lots of people like
| advanced file browsers like previously
| mentioned Total Commander or Path Finder,
| sometimes the explorer can get overwhelmingly
| complicated. Nautilus Elementary is a mod
| that compacts and streamlines Nautilus in
| GNOME to make file browsing easier.

Chrome 5: Faster and better
,----[ Quote ]
| The first thing you'll notice with Google's
| new beta of its Chrome Web browser is that
| it's faster -- much faster -- than the last
| version. You don't need any fancy tests to see
| that. All you have to do is use it, and you'll
| see that it blows other browsers away.

Google Chrome Automatically Installs Google Repository in Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| This is something I have never heard of. I was
| trying to install Google Chrome in Ubuntu and
| in the download page a small note came into my
| notice. It goes something like this
| "Installing Google Chrome will add the Google
| repository so your system will automatically
| keep Google Chrome up to date".

Google: Chrome OS netbooks should cost around Â300
,----[ Quote ]
| Although still scheduled to launch towards
| the end of this year, there hasnât been
| much in the way of news about Googleâs
| Chrome OS for netbooks for a while. Google
| CEO Eric Schmidt did let a few details slip
| about the cloud-based operating system at a
| recent conference though, including a re-
| iteration of the planed low price for the
| hardware.
