Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Sebastian Thrun: Google's Driverless Car
Say hello to Google Chrome for Mac, now in beta
Google's Chrome browser has finally reached beta for Mac, just in time to meet Google's target "late 2009" release date. Chrome is ultra-fast -- it even feels a little bit faster than the developer previews we've been testing -- and seems on par with Safari and Firefox in terms of compatibility with most sites. It passes the Acid3 test and handles HTML5 audio and video quite smoothly.

I can't believe this thing has been in development for this long without a bookmarks manager. It's completely useless without one.

Love how fast this is, though really wish we could test out extensions on the mac version.

Don't worry — judging by Google's past history in Mac development, we'll only have to wait until, say, late 2011 or early 2012 for extension compatibility.

Useless in its current state if you want more than barebones browsing.

Ah, but the browsing is so fast, and having firefox closed speeds things up considerably.

The problem is that I am not a barebones browser. Most of my frequented sites are customized to the max through Stylish and Greasemonkey. Ads are... yeah. Even the interface is customized to perfectly suit my browsing needs. In its current state, Chrome can't offer this. I will gladly sacrifice a bit of speed for the power and customizablitiy that I need.
