You know I hear on the radio when driving earlier this week that Google had release a revolutionary new browser called Chrome. I got a bit excited. It sounded pretty cool and I like that fact that Google had decided to throw their innovative resources into the browser market as well. Yesterday I got a ping from a colleague asking it I had installed it yet. I have been busy over the past couple of days, and sadly replied no, but was going to. he provided some feedback on his experience and I got a bit more excited about trying it out. So later this morning I find some time and turn my browser to Google’s Chrome site.
I find the following:
So I see Beta for Windows, OK, where is the Mac and Linux versions?
Point One: Google runs on Linux. All it’s products and services benefit from the robust Linux community.
Point Two: Hello the Google CEO sits on the Apple Board of Directors.
Come on, Google has a stock price floating around the ~$500/share range, and you tell me that you can only make a Windows version.
Then I found the following: Google Co-Founder: No Mac Chrome an Embarrassment
It also states that Google co-founder Sergey Brin is a Mac user as well. Hopefully someone is getting an ass chewing.
In an interview with BoomTown’s Kara Swisher, Mr. Brin
asked if she would try out Google Chrome, to which she said “no,”
because there isn’t a Mac version available. Mr. Brin replied “”I know,
I know, it’s embarrassing.”He added that he doesn’t know exactly when a Mac version will be
available. “I’m asking every day. I hope it’ll be a matter of months,”
he said.
Crack the whip Sergey and get those guys working…
Only in the open source world can you even think about having this type of discussion OR write your own code to do it ‘your’ way.
