« Coordinated online response to Hurricane Gustav | Main | Making it: our diy future » Steven Levy on ChromeSteve Levy's written a thorough account of the development of Google's new browser, Chrome. I've been test driving Chrome tonight, and the wheels turn mighty fast. Speed may be Chrome's most significant advance. When you improve things by an order of magnitude, you haven't made something better - you've made something new. "As soon as developers get the taste for this kind of speed, they'll start doing more amazing new Web applications and be more creative in doing them," Bak says. Google hopes to kick-start a new generation of Web-based applications that will truly make Microsoft's worst nightmare a reality: The browser will become the equivalent of an operating system. jon posted this at 9:18 PM |
