So there I was, at work, on break, watching the clock go so slow that to this moment I still swear I saw the minute hand go backwards one minute just to tease me, when I found an article on the NY Times about Chrome. No, not the chrome that accents your car design, or covers your bagel toaster. No, I'm talking about the Google kind of Chrome. Specifically, the new browser.
New browser? Yep.
(It should be noted that at this point the minute hand on the clock started motoring clockwise so fast that I was having Speed Racer flashbacks for a moment there.)
Oh, but it's not available for Mac yet.
Grr.
You know, this happens all the time, and as a life-long Mac user I've learned to deal with it quite well. (Hush, you!) I mean, resources and money are finite. I get that. But this is GOOGLE for crying out loud! Their stock closed at $465 per share today for Pete's sake! You'd think they could put two guys in a corner cubicle and let them have at it. They probably spend more corporate-wide on toilet paper in one month than they would spend on these two über-programmers.
*sigh*
Fine. So, I get home a while ago and I decide to check out the official site. The product and features are actually announced in a cartoon format that almost feels dorky, but not quite. And it's actually very good at explaining what and why Chrome is. There's a little link over to one side that gives Mac users the ability to sign up for an email announcement that will come out when the Mac version is done.
Cool.
So I type my information into the email field and click SUBMIT. The Firefox progress wheel spins for a moment and Voila! I get this:
That's just COLD, man! Just cold.
If only I could find a Windows user to review Chrome for the blog... :)
