Well, at least they've reduced the frequency of blue shells, and added a megaphone that destroys all nearby items, including blue shells hovering over you before they drop.
On the flipside, they doubled the amount of items being flung around, so if you get stuck in losers pack of 6th to 12th place, you'll be endlessly barraging each other with items and nobody can escape the cloud of shell death.
Not sure how Google does it but running Chrome gives that feeling of when you get a new computer and all of your old apps seem lighting quick and responsive compared to before.
Pretty simple: Each tab is a process.
Close Tab == Close Process == Release all memory for that process.
I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing
since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on
things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat
(same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons)
among other things).
I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work.
This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and
I'd like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions
are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them:-)

PS. Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.
It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never
will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have:-(.
Although, I guess the birthday really is the day it was released. August was more around the time "mommy got knocked up" rather than popped a baby out.
I was looking to replace my 12" PowerBook as well, and when I saw the Air--I was crushed.
Thin, feature-less, and overpriced.
I would gladly buy another 12" Apple laptop, provided it's the exact same size as my 12" PowerBook. Why? Because it is literally the exact size of a sheet of paper, and fits in all the bags I own that are designed for literal "notebooks".
And to be nitpicky--can we get a black MacBook Pro? The whole look-like-another-silver-Lexus thing is bothersome. I liked my PowerBook when it came out, but now the brushed aluminum look is about as cool as it is in MacOS X--cool enough to be replaced. Yes, I know it won't happen, which is why this is just a personal nitpick. Otherwise, the MacBook Pro's are flawless in design compared to "PC" laptops.

You can get a standalone version without the Google Update installer...

...or was it really August 26th, 1991?

If anything, you should be upset at Phoenix Technologies, which did get into legal disputes over Firefox's original name: "Phoenix"
Dipshit.
