Google Chrome
An interesting new concept in browsing from Google—and explained in comic book format. The open source browser will be announced on Tuesday.
Here is the short run down of its features:
- It’s Open Source.
- It’s based on WebKit.
- It includes Gears.
- It has an entirely new Javascript Engine called V8, designed for multi-processing.
- Each browser tab is a process. So you kill a tab you kill a process.
- Web Apps can be launched in their own window, like Fluid or Prism.
- Tabs are sandboxed to keep your machine safe and secure.
What is it, exactly, that the Vice President does every day?

Republican Nominee for the Vice President
Amazing collection of photos of the Large Hadron Collider which is nearly ready to reproduce the Big Bang… on a small scale.
IE Death March
I cannot agree with this more. IE6 should no longer be supported. Microsoft has ended its support of it, so should we.
The web standards movement wouldn’t exist had we not drawn the line in the sand on Netscape 4, we need to do the same with IE6.

Obama picks Biden as VP with 3AM Text Message
Earlier I was praising the Obama campaign for the idea of announcing he VP via text message.
The message was sent out at 3 AM Saturday morning, probably the absolute worst time of the week you could tell anyone anything. The bad timing completely missed the point of being able to have the one to one connection of text messaging.
I guess we’ll have to wait to see how mobile will help politics until someone realizes the best time to send a text message isn’t while most of America is asleep.
