Slashdot Mirror
Google Chrome, Day 2
Seems that almost every story submitted to Slashdot last night in some way involved Google's Chrome that we started talking about yesterday. Dotan Cohen noted that according to Clicky Chrome has hit 3% browser share. Since Google has decided to release Chrome only for Windows, I now share for you 3 reviews written by others: the first comes from alexy2k, the second from mildsiete, and the third from oli4uk. They all seem to feature various opinions, charts, and screenshots demonstrating various exciting points.
Wow, you found the comic entertaining? I've got some buckets of paint that are going up on walls soon. Want to buy some tickets for the drying? Only $5 for the lawn tickets, $20 for the reserved seating.
Well.. maybe. Or Maybe not. But Definitely not sort of.
So, uh, what happens if someone else logs into their google account, then?

Well, I guess this'll make getting a job at Google interesting...
What's dotslash?
"We are so, so happy with Google Chrome," mumbled Mozilla CEO John Lilly through gritted teeth. "That most of our income is from Google has no bearing on me making this statement."

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Anyway, I don't know anything about Chrome. Apparently, whatever it is, there isn't a version for my platform, so I'm not going to download it. I know that's just a fact about me, but you all need to hear it. I'm not going to download it, I say. And because the whole universe is based on my experience I can categorically say that this means that Chrome has lost the browser war. So obviously Google have screwed up their strategy royally because if I don't want to download Chrome, why would anyone else?
Apparently it doesn't have adblock. I don't know what adblock is, but from reading the other comments it's obviously the most important part of a browser. How could Google leave it out?
Anyway, I've said my piece. Google are a doomed company. In fact, here's a graph to prove it:
You can't argue with statistics!
Doesn't it make you feel good to know that our freedoms are protected by politicans, lawyers and journalists.
It was a meta-review.
Oh, and I forgot to ask - why has Taco linked to a "review" by someone who openly admits to not having even downloaded the product!?
What's wrong with that?
Nothing's more intellectually consistent on Slashdot than an editor posting a link to an article they didn't read for viewers of the site who have no intention of reading it about a product that the reviewer didn't even look at.
The fact that 2 of 3 links are dead and the other hangs up my browswer only puts the cherry on top!
If it's for-profit but free, you're not the customer -- you're the product (e.g., the Slashdot Beta's "audience").
