this is semi not cool: Much ink and many electrons are being spilled over Google’s Chrome browser (discussed here twice in recent days): from deep backgrounders to performance benchmarks to its vulnerability to a carpet-bombing flaw. The latest angle to be explored is Chrome’s end-user license agreement. It does not look consumer-friendly. “By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any content which you submit, post or display on or through, the services.

I just read that on Slashdot. Quite an interesting turn of events for the fastest browser on the planet! I am wondering if they wrote that in to allow them the ability to display ad’s on the content you are viewing. ---

I’m a huge fan of anything the big G puts out. So far, from what I’ve seen, Chrome is very slick. The integration of things like, making Web 2.0 shortcuts like Mozilla Prism is a big plus. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this is further proof Google is releasing an OS. Hell, with the trend of thin-clients and Web 2.0, this practically is Google’s OS. The’d just need to make it stand alone, and add a desktop interface of sorts. Google is doing exactly what M$ did, just backwards. ---
