Clean, fast, streamlined and simple front end; it’s only a tool to run the important stuff — the pages, sites and applications that make up the web. Like the classic Google homepage, Google Chrome is t. It gets out of your way and gets you where you want to go.
Under the hood, each tab in an isolated “sandbox” to prevent one tab from crashing another and to provide improved protection from rogue sites. Includes a more powerful JavaScript engine, V8, to power the next generation of web applications not yet possible in today’s browsers.
This is a beta for Windows to start a discussion with users with suggestions for iterating. Mac and Linux are on the way.
All of us at Google spend much of our time working inside a browser. We search, chat, email and collaborate in a browser. And in our spare time, we shop, bank, read news and keep in touch with friends — all using a browser. Because we spend so much time online, we began seriously thinking about what kind of browser could exist if we started from scratch and built on the best elements out there. We realized that the web had evolved from mainly simple text pages to rich, interactive applications and that we needed to completely rethink the browser. What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications, and that’s what we set out to build.
Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.

Mission accomplished: the first-ever and only American iPhone 4 has been unlocked from its carrier which would be AT&T. A wily Canadian got his hands on the mobile device and after a long night of work shows off his functioning iPhone 4 in the video above.
Consumer Reports says it is unable to recommend the iPhone 4 until Apple fixes antenna problems. Although Consumer Reports isn’t making a specific recommendation, say Paul Reynolds, you can try using duct tape to cover the lower left hand side of the iPhone 4 to avoid the “death grip” and lose signal strength.
CNNMoney’s David Goldman discusses Consumer Reports magazine’s decision not to recommend the iPhone 4. Perhaps some duct tape might do the trick…
Having reception trouble with the iPhone 4? Consumer Reports says the easiest fix for the death grip antenna glitch may be a sliver of duct tape. CNN.com’s tech reporter John Sutter also says you can get yourself an iPhone bumper that goes around the outside edge of the device. Perhaps instead of the silver duct tape, some black gaffer’s tape might prove to be a more elegant option?
First there was the 1-minute wordless Apple FaceTime spot set to Louis Armstrong music featuring the intimate moments in family life which can now be shared over distances thanks to this new iOS4 technology. Fortune online is calling Apple’s new commercials for FaceTime “heartbreaking.” Spolier warning: nobody gets any bad news. As a matter of fact, in two out of the four spots, the characters in fact receive good news. In the other two, things are bittersweet at worst and basically all the ads have happy endings. We think the emotional term the business-minded folks over at fortune were looking for was “heart-warming.” Hey, it’s July — it must have been the heat (wave) going to their heads. Perhaps, Philip Elmer-DeWitt, no matter how good is his depth of knowledge of Apple, is thinking of this heartbreaking iPhone 4 FaceTime ad.
