Google released its second web browser yesterday afternoon, adding additional headroom for web applications stretching the limits of what it's possible to accomplish within a web browser. The Google Chrome team assembled domain experts in various fields over the past six years, both through direct hires and acquisitions, to create a new browser and its critical components from scratch. GMail and Google Maps pushed the Web to its limits, taking advantage of browser technologies invented ...

So, it seems our secret leaked a little early. The upside is that I get to talk about one of the projects that I’ve wanted to tell you about ever since I started working here at Google. There are lots of reasons why Chrome is interesting — being a new open source browser using the WebKit rendering engine is one of them — but the main advantage it has over other browsers right now is ...

Most bloggers would love their content to hit the front page of Digg. Unfortunately, most of those bloggers are never able to experience the huge spike of traffic and the feelings of accomplishment this brings. In this post, I want to argue that success with Digg is an odds game. You can never guarantee it, but you can give yourself the best possible odds. I’ll be describing how to do this, right down to what ...

You know, it really frosts me when a web application requires that I own a particular kind of computer or have a certain plug-in installed to view information. It just seems so--I don't know--2002-ish--for a web publisher to assume what I ought to own before I can see or hear something or perform a particular operation. Hasn't the wisdom of the crowds taken us past the place where information technology is more important than the ...

When Google announced the Street View service of Google Maps was available in my neighborhood, I had to run right out and have a look at my house. Just vanity and unbridled geekiness I suppose, but kind of interesting in a vaguely creepy, 'Is my privacy being invaded here?', kind of way.Imagine my dismay when I saw that the photo shoot of my street happened when the house was apparently in the final weeks of ...

From the post: "In the interest of setting the record straight I think it's incumbent on Google to send their little camera van back around and get a more accurate photo of how the house looks today. After all, I invested a lot of my vacation time this summer getting the landscaping done out front and the house looking as it does today."

gocreese via Pattern Finder shared by 7 people Last week, Fortune magazine published an article ("Google's tough sell to Corporate America") and blog entry ("Gen Y takes to Google Apps") on Google Apps, noting that it was popular with Gen Y but not with large enterprises. To put it in perspective, Fortune noted that Microsoft made 3,000 times more revenue than Google off of its Office software: Microsoft sold $12.2 billion of Office software in ...

With the first mobile devices running Google’s Android coming shortly, the development community at large seems apprehensive about the platform. After all, why develop for something that may or may not work when there is already a hot, new mobile platform out there, Apple’s iPhone, that has proven to be extremely successful? Well, the team behind the life update and emergency messaging application Life360 took the opposite approach. “It was clear Android was going to ...

When we talk to developers, a common topic is the challenge of getting applications in the hands of users. That's why today I'm happy to share early details of Android Market—an open content distribution system that will help end users find, purchase, download and install various types of content on their Android-powered devices. The concept is simple: leverage Google's expertise in infrastructure, search and relevance to connect users with content created by developers like you.Developers ...

There are many reasons the Digg Community may perceive you negatively, or worse yet, consider you a filthy social media spammer. If you take part in the majority of these activities you probably aren’t seen as a positive social media maven as you may have hoped. Instead your actions depict you as a whiney and needy nuisance. You might be a Digg Spammer If: 1. Your only shot at glory is to slightly rip of ...

Video editing could be very money consuming due to its requirement for large harddisk storage, high computer performance and expensive video editing software. Because of all of these, it makes nearly impossible for end users like us (or me at least) to afford the fun of video editing. At the point this article is created, Adobe After Effect CS3 still cost about USD999 per copy while Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 costs about USD799 per copy. ...

Many web forms are broken, usability-wise. Knowing these problems can make you avoid them when you design your own web forms, so here are some recurring usability pitfalls. 1. The risky reset button. In most instances, the form reset button is not needed, though it can almost always do harm if users accidentally click it – because it will empty the form without any confirmation box (in popular browsers and popular form implementations, anyway).
