Wonder if they'll also force AdSense links onto a section of the application over which you have no control? Of course, being Open Source you could always comment that out. :) - Craig Eddy

I wonder why Google would want to open that can of worms? Google should worry about content and services and leave the browser to, well, somebody else. - Rob Teixeira via twhirl

Isn't it obvious? Google wants to move into the OS market but is testing the waters a few bits at a time. Look at it's work with Android, Docs, and now this. Even if it isn't the case with all of the pieces done it wouldn't be too far of a step for them to try. - Bryan

can't understand how is this a good thing: wouldn't it better if they used the same resources to help improve firefox or something? - Marcos Marado

@Bryan .. EXACTLY. While many view Android as a another threat to Microsoft in the mobile ads department ... It is an OPERATING SYSTEM -- which is probably being developed in such a way to be conducive to porting to desktop machines. And with the impending "cloud," browsers are becoming an even more important part of the equation. Watch out Windows and IE! - Kevin Sablan via twhirl

This is simply a step forward in a natural progression of advances that started years ago when the Operating System disappeared from relevance. The browser market hasn't kept up with the advances needed to make a final push off the desktop and Google has taken it upon themselves, starting with Gears and now Chrome. WebKit makes sense since it's a large part of Android. +1 for interest and affirmation -1 for relevance since this move was foretold years ago... - Kevin Cearns

Am I the only one not excited with all this "we use processes for each tab" approach? It's like "we don't care if the code is buggy and we have memory leaks, we just trash that process and that's it"... - Marcos Marado

"Sisence, has launched in private beta an analytic dashboard for the Amazon S3 platform. Normally, developers would have to go through a ton of logs that Amazon provides to make sense of data. Sisence aims to be the Google Analytics for Amazon S3 with it's Prism dashboard by providing developers with a more visual interface." - tech.newsjunk.com

This is the first product I've found through TJ that I must have. I've been flying blind with S3. I need this. And it looks beautiful. Thanks for this discovery RWW! - Dave Winer

Meh! It's PC only. - Shane Robinson via twhirl

Geez Louise. Don't they know everyone who cares about this stuff uses Macs. - Dave Winer
