Google’s decided to take a flying leap into the browser game. As is its wont, the company whose motto is “don’t be evil” will release the browser in beta form, refining it along the way as it’s been doing with still-beta Gmail for the past few years.

Look out Microsoft, Firefox and Opera, Google is coming.

On the surface, we designed a browser window that is streamlined and simple. To most people, it isn’t the browser that matters. It’s only a tool to run the important stuff - the pages, sites and applications that make up the web. Like the classic ...

Google announced the availability of their new Chrome web browser in beta form. Yeah, I know, it’s not a gadget but it sure seems like one with its shiny name and numerous, nifty functions. Basically, it’s a browser designed from the ground up to be extremely stable, functional, and streamlined.

... user base. It's not easy to get people's attention when talking about memory management. It's difficult to communicate an esoteric architecture decision, and to both explain the decision and demonstrate its importance while not boring your audience is even more challenging.
I'm not saying comics are the way to go for all future technical documentation, but there's something to be learned here in terms of expanding your audience without dumbing down the content.

Google enters Web browser market with Chrome
Gizmos for Geeks —
Google sure knows how to light up the news sites and blogosphere - release a brand new Web browser! Called Chrome, it’s Google’s foray into a once-crowded market that is now dominated by just 2 players (at least on Windows) - Microsoft and Mozilla.

Who Let the Slacker in at Lifehacker? [Announcements]
Lifehacker —
[image] Hello, my name is Jackson West , and I feel like the least likely person ever invited to write for Lifehacker right about now. Because I am a deeply, deeply lazy person who couldn't budget and schedule my way out of a wet paper bag. However, I have managed to survive in the wild with an otherwise debilitating lack of work ethic, and I am here to pass my wisdom in the many and varied arts of shirking which I have mastered over the years. For instance, did you know that there's a little bit of magic on the shelves of your local drugstore that goes by the name "Cup O' Noodles?" Just add boiling water and you have yourself a hot ...
