So Is Chrome The Fastest Or What? (33)

TechCrunch (7617) permalink
There have been a number of timed and anecdotal speed tests performed on Google Chrome over the last couple of days. My personal testing: Chrome is the fastest browser I have ever used. More structured TechCrunch testing showed similar results: It’s fast. Here are what others came up with: CNET agrees, but their approach was biased towards Google. Chrome came out way ahead in a suite of Javascript benchmark tests. The only problem is that ...Shared by adam (1059) Adrian (15) Ahmed (62) AJ (190) Alex (102) Alfonso Martinez (14) Amihai (24) Andrew Ruess (121) Anoop (19) aNTwNHs (80) Azeem (40) Benedict Lee Zhi En (208) Brit (24) CosmicV (24) Dan McCall (24) Dominic Foster (298) Joe (104) Jonathan (16) Jrod (68) liamvictor (132) lunamoth (25) maxyRO (504) Mike F (465) Mushin (51) Nigel Eccles (147) Punksolid (26) Rami Taibah (478) Richard Bradshaw (15) Robert Scoble (73) Ruben (22) Sandaruwan (16) Scott (7) wcaw (74)- Adrian said: what I really liked about this post, was the importance placed on the upcoming Mac and Linux versions.

Classic WTF: To the Hexth Degree - The Daily WTF (6)

The Daily WTF (251) permalink
It's a particularly busy week for me: on top of a few looming deadlines, I'll be at Business of Software 2008 in Boston. So, I figured it'd be the perfect opportunity to revisit some classics. To the Hexth Degree was originally published on March 24th, 2006 and, to this day, it still holds the title of the Worst Hexadecimal Conversion Routine. I have a policy that I try follow regarding duplicate concepts: I'll only post ...Shared by badpazzword (20) Phillip Calçado "Shoes" (10) Richard Bradshaw (15) Richie de Almeida (30) Ryan S (45) Zach (57)Contribute comment -

Today there was a comic book in my mail, sent by Google and drawn by no less than Scott McCloud, creator of the classic Understanding Comics. Within the 38 pages, which I’ve scanned and put up, in very readable format Google gives the technical details into a project of theirs: an open source browser called Google Chrome. The book points to www.google.com/ch..., but I can’t see anything live there yet.

- Dileepa said: Microsoft is going to be in serious trouble. IE8 is not looking good. Firefox is on fire. Safari is gaining share via Macs. And now Google Chrome...
- Chris Wetherell said: Some people will go audibly apoplectic at hearing this news. "Another browser to deal with!" "Owww!" "KILLIT!?!1101@#!" Potentially, it might help to hear that A) it's open source B) it's based on WebKit so if you develop for Safari, you're good already.
- Sean said: I would be most interested in this. Especially if Google could use this browser to tie more of the Google services together.

German firefighting porta-sprinklers of 1931 (8)

A golden age of firefighting was upon us in February, 1931, when Modern Mechanix magazine ran this article on Germany's bizarre portable shower for firefigters: IT’S a far cry from the old bucket brigade to modern fire-fighting efficiency. Even now the American fireman is known as a “smoke-eater,” but that term would hardly fit the present day fire laddie in Germany, for with the new portable sprinkler system adopted by some of the larger cities ...Shared by darkeye11547 (247) Dave Lovely (11) David T.
