Chrome Glints through Blog Smog
August 19, 2009
Mashable has caught Google watchers with their sun screen on the noses and their feet in the pool. You can see alleged screenshots of the “new” Chrome by reading and clicking “Google Chrome OS Screenshots.” The addled goose is semi-excited about these screen shots. With Google’s underlying technology described in various patent documents dating from 2006, the glints of understanding now making their way through the blogosphere are heartening, just not as important as the dataspace innovations that are where the action is. Understanding Google requires more than describing the developments Google makes available. The screen shots are important for three reasons:
- Images don’t leak from Google by accident.
- The fact that Chrome is getting more OS X graphic ornaments underscores the point that the Google wants to poach from * both * Apple and Google.
- The build number suggests steady progress, not the on-again, off-again approach some of Google’s initiatives receive.
In short, the clicks are leading the Google forward.
