  • Why all the google hate ? Might as well give chrome a try - ” The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005) ” … Oh well :| #
  • @abarrera I have yet to even get chrome working ! Gimme gimme I want to see how ugly it really is :) #
  • http://ping.fm/p/2wXIC - I’ll have to give it another a try :| #
  • 10second review of chrome. It’s fast, dirty and not as ugly as I thought. JS rendering is quick. I guess google thinks the future is AJAX #
  • @kosso indeed. Making Chrome my default browser and seeing how much mileage I get out of it (fingers crossed) #
  • @abarrera once you get past Chrome’s sandboxing issues you’ll find it’s based on the opera/safari render engine. I’m giving it a chance ;) #
  • @yellowpark The internet to 75% of ppl is the icon called ‘Internet Explorer’. Apparently it logs you on to the internet. Makes me angry! #
  • Love it ! Drag a tab out into a new window. Always wanted that ! Now for the bad… Chrome and HTTP pipelining and my server load :-o #
  • @yellowpark lol ” Come again - What’s a browser ? ” #

  • Trying to work out how fast a T2390 is(Pentium Dual Core/Socket P). It must *not* be confused with a full core2duo merom. http://ping.fm#
  • wish I had found this site before http://ping.fm/rmZPV confirms my fears … an eeepc running an atom ‘is’ slow. #
