Google watchdog Phillip Lessen has scanned and posted a printed comic he says he received in the mail from Google today describing the company's forthcoming open source browser Chrome.

There are only two announcements made during the unveiling of the Budget 2009 yesterday that directly applies to motorists. One is a change in the road tax structure for diesel cars.
