Google Chrome Download

Google’s browser arrived and everyone can download Google Chrome right now to test. The browser includes a JavaScript Virtual Machine called V8, built from scratch by a team in Denmark, and open-sourced as well so other browsers could include it.

One aim of V8 was to speed up JavaScript performance in the browser, as it’s such an important component on the web today. Google also say they’re using a “multi-process design” which they say means “a bit more memory up front” but over time also “less memory bloat.” When web pages or plug-ins do use a lot of memory, you can spot them in Chrome’s task manager, “placing blame where blame belongs.”
Google Chrome use special tabs. Instead of traditional tabs like those seen in Firefox, Chrome puts the tab buttons on the upper side of the window, not below the address bar.

Intel (NSDQ: INTC) has planed to roll out its new technology notebook platform, named Centrino 2, with higher performing processors than the previous generation and an optional integrated Wi-Fi/WiMax module. The platform will make its debut at a mid-afternoon news conference in San Francisco.

The technology was originally scheduled for release at Computex Taipei 2008 in early June, but was delayed due to problems with integrated graphics and wireless certification. These notebooks deliver outstanding dual-core performance, enhanced maintenance and management capabilities, and proactive security in an open LAN—even outside of the corporate firewall.4
