Insomnia
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 | General | No Comments
The title says it all. I have insomnia… which isn’t good since I have class in 3.5 hours and need my sleep.
What did I do with all my extra time. Well, right now I’m blogging from my living room TV.
Setup:
- Old Dell Pentium IV Desktop
- Ethernet Cable
- 40″ LG 1080p HDTV
- Male to Male VGA cable (one would think the TV would have DVI too)
Since I’m sitting on my couch a good 10 feet away, I’ve had to zoom in on the page so I wouldn’t strain my eyes trying to read the text, but it’s all good!
Now to try to sleep.
Go Chrome!

Google Chrome is the new open source web browser by Google. Another web browser you say?! Why?! Google Chrome is apparently trying to streamline how media is displayed in today’s browsers.
The Internet has evolved. Our means of viewing the content are still the same. Google Chrome changes this. I highly recommend EVERYONE to try Google’s browser. It is a statement more than anything. It should push Microsoft into developing a more standards compliant browser, Mozilla (whom Google still backs financially) to re-think handling processes, and much more. I really don’t think Google Chrome in itself will start a movement. We, the consumers, need to say enough is enough.
Is Google Chrome perfect? No. Is Google Chrome comparable to Firefox or Opera? No. Even with all of it’s currently lacking features is it still innovative, unique, a STEP in the right direction? That, would be yes.
Paul Reinheimer has the right idea in his post about “bringing browsers up to speed“. With my experience so far, Google has the closest answer.
Who knows, maybe we will see Chrome on Android.
