Google Chrome OS: A Nice Place to Visit, But?

The world of technology is enhancing day by day. Operating System (OS), being one of the basic platforms for all other technologies, has always been a matter of status and technological advancement. Microsoft Windows, Linux, MAC, Ubuntu are some of them. Google, the technology giant is also releasing its OS next week, with the name Chrome OS, following the legacy name of its highly acclaimed Web Browser. This can be a turning point in the industry, but the rumor’s say that it will be open to developers, the next week. Public will have to wait for longer. This has raised many questions as the due date of its release is the end of the year. In my opinion, Chrome OS will be more or less like the Linux that just makes a powerless computer system to run the Browser and establish connections with the applications and database. If that is so, then its not at all exciting. The Chrome OS may make a laptop a portable machine that holds all the functionalities. It can make the PC a puffed up workstation where the user has to depend upon the internet for almost every thing he wants to do. [...]

The Unhurried Acceptance of the Speedy Google Chrome

The Google Chrome browser that was introduced to the world in 2008 built up huge prospects due to the highly successful Gmail product that Google is so well known for. With Gmail and the Google search engine bringing in all the excitement in the internet world, Chrome was anticipated to garner a similar welcome. With Google’s big move to outdo Mozilla and Microsoft with their respective Firefox and Internet Explorer, it was facing a moment where it would either dramatically succeed or not. [...]

Google Brings Chrome To Internet Explorer

On September 24th, Google released Google Chrome Frame, a new plug-in that contains its Chrome browser in a format compatible with Internet Explorer. A blog post promoting the release promises that Chrome Frame will work with versions 6, 7, and 8 of Explorer. One analyst surmises the move is an indication of Google’s admission that wooing users from IE is a steeper mountain than they planned to climb. The speed of IE’s JavaScript is infamously low. Chrome Frame will boost that speed considerably. More than that, the plug-in will address significant concerns of Web designers and developers. More and more websites and online applications use Internet standards that IE can’t handle. The most obvious of these is HTML 5, which will now be usable thanks to Chrome Frame. [...]

Speed Up IE8 With Google Plug-In

Computerworld has run tests on Internet Explorer, version 8, after the addition of the Chrome Frame plug-in available from Google. The test results demonstrate that IE8, with Chrome Frame, runs almost ten times faster than IE8 without Chrome Frame. IE8 handles JavaScript 9.6 faster with the addition of the plug-in. To test and validate its results, Computerworld used the SunSpider Javascript program, running it three times on IE8 standing alone, and three times with the addition of the ChromeFrame plug-in. The scores were averaged to achieve the published results. The average score with the addition of ChromeFrame was equal to the scores of Google’s Chrome browser, proving that ChromeFrame can optimize any Internet Explorer program to the speed and efficiency of the actual Chrome browser.

Is Another Operating System What the Technological World Needs Today?

Google Chrome OS – Faced with the release of a brand new operating system, the world looks forward to a different kind of change. Google’s release of the Chrome web browser made many users believe that it was part of a much larger operating system in the making. With the recent reports that the Chrome operating system was actually being developed by Google, (and which may officially come out in the latter part of 2010) many are looking forward to it with mixed feelings. New concerns are coming out about how this new Chrome OS will differ from Google’s mobile open-source operating system, or if they will even differ at all. [...]

Google Chrome for Apple

The Google Chrome team is delivering on its promises to deliver Mac users a native version of the company’s browser. A developer version of Chrome for both Mac and Linux users was released last night, but Google doesn’t want you to download the software. That’s right: Google doesn’t want everybody to start downloading this early version of Chrome for Mac, the latest prerelease edition, because it is incomplete. How incomplete? Read on as I give it a quick tour. Get Acquainted [...]
