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 hope it's going to be dependant on a whole new insider code and not a Internet Explorer API. This may provide a nice alternative to the big Mozilla code.

    Come on, Gbrowser? I hope they can figure out something better than that.

    Google also owns the domains "GOS.com" "Gporn.com" "Goffice" and "Gword"

    I think it's safe to say they've got big plans.

    Dan Rather has documents that prove this has been in the works since the late 90's. He would have released them already, but his "source" hasn't finished typing them yet because Microsoft Word keeps crashing.

    Google registers gstring.com and takes over the porn industry. Now you can order gstrippers in the comfort of your own home via gmail and with the storage space they'll always be there for you to revisit.
