Google Chrome is really nice! I’ve been testing it for only a few moments on my MacBook, using Windows XP running in a VM.

It’s super fast.

Launching the app takes about 0.5 seconds, and you can start surfing right away.

The Speed Dial function on the first page wasn’t working yet, there was a message that I should use Chrome a while longer before any sites would show up. Just gimme some time, Google :)

Browsing the web is pretty fast, of course, every depends on your connection. I had to reinstall the Flash player, and I loved it: multiple tabs were open, one tab was requesting to install the Flash player, which I did, and after installing the Flash player, only that tab reloaded and everything worked. No more “restart the browser” messages. I really love it!

Message to Google: bring us asap a Mac and Linux version, please!

Big news! Google will release it’s very own, created from scratch, webbrowser very soon!

It’s called Chrome, and I think it’s very promissing: multi-threaded, multi processes per tab, each tab in a sandbox … More details can be found in the comic.

Unfortunatly, it will be launched Windows only. Mac and Linux will be released a bit later.

Something to watch closely!

Thanks to the BBC tv-show Click online I just discovered cuil.com. 

Cuil.com has re-invented searching the Internet. It displays the search results in colums AND you can (thanks to Ajax) narrow the searchresults per subject.

It’s something to keep an eye on!

I just wandered through the Google Labs, and I’ve discovered a new toy. Apparently it exists already since 2006, but I’ve never seen it before.

We all know Google Earth, but now, there’s also Google Mars. You can look at the surface of Mars in three different views: elevation, visible and infrared. 

Have fun!
