Google Chrome has taken the browser world by storm. It makes for an exciting release, no doubt, especially with a brand new JavaScript engine on the table. However the most important question, to JavaScript developers, is: How will this affect my normal development routine? I've done some research, talked to some developers, submitted some bugs and come back with a list of things that you should probably be aware. In all, there are some exciting ...

It's Dell's answer to the ASUS Eee PC, and it's a very well styled, well targeted, well executed answer at that. The Inspiron Mini 9 isn't for everyone, but it's pretty exciting if you're in the market for a netbook....

The VAR Guy: "Sure, Windows is expected to run on 1 billion devices by 2010. But a loud minority is making its voice heard by moving to Ubuntu Linux. In fact, Canonical's marketing materials state that Ubuntu now has more than 8 million users."

One helpful Ubuntu hacker blogger posts a guide to getting Google Chrome working as a stand-alone app in Ubuntu, using the latest version of the Windows translator WINE and a stand-alone copy of Chrome's installer. You'll definitely need your terminal open for this one, and the result isn't exactly flawless—no https support, problems with pop-ups, and a bit slower than you'd get in Windows—but it is a neat way for dedicated Linux users to check ...

Judy Estrin, the former CTO of Cisco nails it. "She warns that we are living off of the innovation investments made in decades past and that is going to be a problem in the future." Obviously. I've been saying this for decades and feel somewhat qualified to have an opinion about this. The capitalists of the tech industry eat the seed corn, and never put anything back. When you ask them about it, they laugh ...

No, you’re not hallucinating, it’s really here. Around three years ago, Adrian, Simon, Wilson and I released some code to the world. Our plan was to hack quietly on it for a bit, release a solid 1.0 release, and then really get the ball rolling. Well. What happened, of course, was that an amazing community sprung up literally overnight — our IRC channel had over a hundred people in it the day after release, and ...

One of the frustrating things about the Star Trek universe is that it stopped moving forward at some point. Deep Space Nine, the Next-Gen movies, and to some extent Voyager created a whole tapestry of stories about the Cardassians, the Romulans and the Borg. And then it all ends with Future Janeway smushing the Borg, and whatever it was that happened in Star Trek: Nemesis. After that, it's all just looking backward, with Enterprise and ...

Linux.com: "I move from computer to computer constantly -- desktops, laptops, testing machines -- and rather than worry about synchronizing the assorted hard disks content, I prefer to keep one central copy of my documents that I can access anywhere. I do that using wdfs, the WebDAV file system for FUSE."

The Register: "...software was a tool that had always been open, hackable and redistributable, and now mediocre people in ill-fitting suits were trying to steal that freedom... by making a quick buck with dodgy products, and putting very little back."
