John Doerr Disclaims Rumored GBrowser

Posted by timothy on from the no-recollection-of-that-no-sir dept.

iseff writes "Contrary to the rumors which have been circulating, John Doerr (VC and early investor in Google) told the Web 2.0 conference that although he believes in another browser war, Google won't be a part of it. Then again, he did say he didn't know everything that goes on at Google, even though he's on the board. Now it makes you wonder why Google registered gbrowser.com?"

  1. Gonna try this again by Azureflare · · Score: 5, Informative
    I've tried posting this multiple times and it always gets buried... hopefully other gkrellm users who use only gmail will take notice of this. So far this is my favorite monitoring method for gmail.

    Here's a little hack I made for gkrellm. It works pretty well. I was working on creating a plugin for monitoring multiple gmail accounts. It has some bugs still, but it works pretty well (it's basically a hack of mailwatch, and I've added in the revolving penguin too!). I've stopped working on it since school started, and because there has been so little interest in it. I'm considering putting it up on sourceforge.net so someone can clear out the bugs for me. Note that this tutorial is oriented towards linux newbies; if you know a bit about linux you can skip over a lot of material.

    Monitor a Gmail Account with gkrellm.

    BTW The toolbar is pretty much meaningless in firefox; we've already got popup blocking and we also have the google search bar up by the address bar.

    While I cannot provide consipiracy theories or tinfoil hats, I can provide all URLs hosted under the same IP as google.com. Look at cashcarrier.net - maybe google wants to replace all US currency with 'Google Currency' or Gurrency!
