Google's Amazing Browser Experiments

Barence writes "On the day that Microsoft launches Internet Explorer 8, Google has unveiled a new site that showcases the Javascript performance of its Chrome browser. Called Chrome Experiments, the site includes 19 extraordinary animated games and widgets that push the browser to its limits. One experiment, called Browser Ball allows you to 'throw' a bouncing ball from one browser window to the next. Google Gravity, on the other hand, collapses the normal Google homepage into a pile at the bottom of the screen. However, you can still enter search terms into the box and watch the results drop from the top of the browser window."

Here's a story: On the day Microsoft releases IE 8 -- the most popular web browser in the world -- Slashdot doesn't mention it, but posts a trivial article about Google Chrome benchmarks.

So what are you waiting for? Submit an article about IE 8.

I know we're all supposed to hate Microsoft, but come on.

Here's a story: On the day Microsoft releases IE 8 -- the most popular web browser in the world -- Slashdot doesn't mention it, but posts a trivial article about Google Chrome benchmarks.

How can a browser be the most popular one, if it hasn't been released yet?

How does one determine popularity? Just because Microsoft installs IE by default on all Windows computers, doesn't mean people like it. Just because people who haven't been informed of options and/or have simply choosen the path of interia and used what there rather than find something better, doesn't mean they like it.

When the article summary itself says "On the day that Microsoft launches Internet Explorer 8, Google has unveiled a new site that showcases the Javascript performance of its Chrome browser." how can you validate the claim that no one has mentioned it?

Amusingly,these are all questions I don't care about the answers for, your whine was pittable but not convincing.
