You ditched IE because it just wasn’t safe to use and now that you are safe(r) in your Firefox world… errr. At least thats what you thought until now. Read up and make sure your not one of the many that have been force feed more of the Microshaft handy work.
As a web developer I am always testing everything I build in as many browsers as I can in order to reach as many people as I can while keeping the design and functionality of my site intact. So when Google launch their browser I wasn’t really that thrilled to be honest. I was and still am more of a Firefox user then any other browser. I will say that with each release of Chrome I want to give it a shot. And when reading about a 30% increase in speed while browsing I have to wonder if I should try using it instead of just testing to make sure my sites work in it. Still on the fence but for those interested, a new beta release dropped on the 5th and you can read about it here>>. Google may have made some noise when they released the Google Chrome OS but in the background they were and have been working on a remote X protocal that they quietly released on July 7th called NeatX. Check out the full scoop here>>. In a bold move, Sony Imageworks moves to open source some of their programs. This is a great shift in the market for those of us that use Linux but are still ham-strung by a few apps that just don’t play well in wine or have an Open Source alternative. Now if we can just get Adobe to hook us up. Check out the full story here >>.
Part IV of SEO Choosing Keywords Because most search engines utilize the Keyword META Tag, it is very important to choose words that are being used by more than just yourself to define your company. I just finished reading a short blog about Google being not only a friend but also a foe to the Open Source movement (read blog). I will say that when I first heard about Google Chrome OS I was a little exited as well as confused to the direction they may take it and what would happen to other Open Source projects that they would compete with directly. The above blog hits on all of those subject and is something that all Open Source users need to not only think about but follow as this may change the landscape for Linux and who will be using it. Of course I see this as a chance to really open up the possibilities and to finally hit a part of the market that would have never used Linux before. This may even open up the door to get those much needed applications that vendors wouldn’t port before because the user base just wasn’t there. All that aside you have to wonder if Google will become the New Redmond or will they stay true to the Open Source community. They finally did it. Google has announced they will be releasing a new OS based on the Linux Kernel. This is not the Android OS but a new OS all together.
