my first impressions: http://tinyurl.com/5bzvuv - Gabe

I get the feeling that Chrome will only work on Intel Macs once it comes out. Not good for me. - Fleagle

Its OK, but for me, lack of add-ons (like FF) is pretty limiting. - David Risley

@Les are you still waiting for gmail to get out of beta? - Percival Carti3r

vmware - fijidaddy

V, I think its good, doing some weird things however, like it has the same flash issue that Firefox has, so youtube no worky. Having weird Java issues with Facebook and I miss my addons. Its clean though, it seems faster, but, really I wouldnt say by much. I do like how it closes out the windows. I dont like how it handles popups. Course it is a beta, so have to wait and see. - Socom

ah, I'm not even going to install it right now if it doesn't have that. - LauraBrarian

Matt, spot on. Bookmarklets work, but there's no support for plugins/toolsbars at this point. I have already added bookmarklets for Google Reader and so on :) - Adam Lasnik

Yeah, the Delicious extension was one of the ones I missed the most. - joshua m. neff

The extension doesn't work but at least the bookmarklet does. Gotta have my delicious. - Kelley

I'd love Chrome for Mac. - Michael

I'd kill for a Google Notebook plugin. - Ian Miles Cheong

Could it be Chrome is fast b/c there are no plugins active? - Keith McDuffee via twhirl

Nope, that isn't why. It does multiprocessing and multithreading. In other words, it loads up more than 1 item at a time. - Ian Miles Cheong

Here's a reason not to use Chrome: http://tinyurl.com/63myff Google claims rights to ANYTHING you type in Chrome, which includes blogs AND emails. - Joel

Joel, it was a copy and paste mistake. They've since removed the offending text and put it in the appropriate area --bug reports - Ian Miles Cheong

Yes, but how does that make it better? Erm - it's ok because it was only they didn't get their documentation right? I'll wait to try it, thanks. :) - WorldofHiglet

I've put it aside but will be watching developments with interest. - Felicia

Gotta have my plugins, esp delicious and StumbleUpon!! Have to pass sites to my friends and get mine. So I'll wait until they can use those and stick with FF for now. - David Monroe via twhirl

Skype After Five Years - The good news and the bad news - dslreports.com

August 31 at 1:30 pm - Link

Aaron Draczynski, RaAusar Powers, Eric Geller and 6 other people liked this

Skype recently celebrated its fifth birthday which caused users to reflect on the recent changes that have taken place with the VoIP service. A recent surge in activity and a new unlimited international calling plan are things that bode well for the business. However, there remain a lot of complaints about Skype including problems with the changes made in the beta version of Skype 4 and frustration that SkypeCasts have just been dropped from the service. These concerns have many people wondering whether Skype will be able to regain the innovative edge that made it a leading product when it was first released or if number five is the last birthday that the business will be celebrating. - Leo Laporte

is there something better than skype to be using? I use it at my apartment because I get horrible cell phone coverage, and have been pretty happy with it. - Chris Locke

I am very saddened by the news that there will be one final issue of Smartphone & Pocket PC Magazine. As you can read in the press release they are working to make the final issue a “keeper” with lots of Windows Mobile reviews, new tips and how-tos, a guide to best accessories, software, and much more. The final issue will be on newstands in November. - Leo Laporte

why do we need paper to communicate news about this? Aren't those things outdated as soon as they come out? What I'd like to see is more magazines offering clear versions that we can read on a mobile devices. - Andrew Warner

I agree with andrew. There are plenty of blogs, forums and other sites with more, up to date info. Perhaps they need to be organized better. - Jon West

I agree with Andrew and Jon. The future of media (and plain old text) is online. Everyone with an iPhone is going to look online anyway. - John Grinde
