So I've been reading in the past couple months about how in the future cloud computing will be a reality and instead of our hardware (laptops, operating systems, etc.) being important, the Internet browser will be. In the NYtimes article "Browsers Are a Battleground Once Again" talks about the competition between the browsers and the improvements in technology now that people are thinking in more of a cloud-computing direction.
But, all this to say, I heard on NPR this morning (I think) that Google released their own browser, Chrome! I'm typing in it now, and it's different but awesome. To a layperson like me, it just seems like a pared-down version of all other browsers. By mistake, I just found out that you can use ctrl+any number and it will jump to that number tab. cool. oh wait, i just tried the same thing in firefox and it works as well. oh well - fun fact of the day!
Here's a cool comic description of Google's Chrome and why it's cool and why it's the future:
