Chrome Plays Nicely With Windows Phone 7

"Chrome to Windows Phone 7 follows in the tradition of Chrome to Phone, Fox to Phone, and Chrome to iPhone, and does much the same thing. Click it when you're on a page you'd like to send to your mobile (directions, coupons, what have you) and you'll get a ping on your phone to open it up. Copy text from anywhere on your system, and you can send that, too, to your phone."

The quote pretty much sums up what this handy little utility is all about. If you've used similar apps you'll understand how useful this sort of functionality can be. Well worth trying out.

The Best Browser Promo Video I've Ever Seen

Posted by Jason Dunn in "Thoughts Media Off Topic" @ 11:30 AM

This is off topic for sites other than Digital Home Thoughts, but this video is just so darn cool, I wanted to share it with everyone. Worth noting is that it's loading the pages out of the cache, so this is a rendering test, not a "download speed test", but it's perfectly valid because download speeds will vary from location to location. Personally, I still use Firefox more than Chrome - at some point, browsers are "fast enough" at page rendering and further improvements can't be perceived. I value stability and usefulness more than sheer speed at rendering. What about you?

Yesterday, Google launched their own Web browser. Since this is pretty big news, I decided it was worth posting network-wide. Do we really need another browser? Before yesterday, my answer would have been no - I'm a very satisfied Firefox user, and Internet Explorer 8 is shaping up quite nicely. But after watching the 90 minute Google Webcast yesterday, I was very interested in with what Google had created. There's a great online comic that walks you through why Google created the browser, and what kinds of things were important to Google when creating Chrome. I think this comic is also how the browser was leaked before Google was ready to announce it. Read more...
