Will Google Launch A Browser?

Posted by timothy on from the sweet-patooties-up-for-wager dept.

ServeYourWorld writes "The New York Post is reporting that 'Based on the half-dozen hires in recent weeks, Google appears to be planning to launch its own Web browser and other software products to challenge Microsoft.' I took a guess and did a whois search for Gbrowser.com and indeed Google Inc. is listed as the registrar."

    I meta-mod all positive moderation Unfair, because it's abuse of the system.

    Hehe no harm done =)

    But I don't know whether it was the real reason for the flamebait. Another thing is that it's considered good manners to post such stuff as anonymous coward. Using your login is karma whoring.

    If you need karma cheap I recommend

    • Waiting for an article about Microsoft and write how they want to use Palladium to make Linux illegal
    • Say that Apple is better. The topic is irrelevant
    • Try to write the first post about Linux on the desktop in any discussion remotely related to Linux. Your opinion doesn't matter they always get modded up
    • Bash Diebold
    • Soviet Russia jokes may be out but combining them with even older running gags (In Soviet Russia the Cowboy Neal poll option is missing Beowulf clusters) still guarantees a +5 funny (but iirc funny doesn't count for your karma rating =/ )
    • Say that global warming is the invention of a socialist French conspiration to bring down the US. Jingoism works every time

    Don't think of it as a flame---it's more like an argument that does 3d6 fire damage
