Google browser? Google browser!

September 1st, 2008 No comments

Cnet reported Google is working on an internet browser from scratch, meaning not based on other browsers. They based this on a web comic book. While the illustrations, created by cartoonist Scott McCloud, were not announced by Google, they do contain the quotes and likenesses of 19 Google developers. The browser would be named Crome and written with Webkit. I’m not sure if we should believe comic books as news these days…

Update!

Chrome is coming! It will be released Tuesday. So check in again tomorrow to try Google Chrome for yourself. They’ll post an update here as soon as it’s ready.

Religion sucks

Zuerst die Füsse

Zuerst die Füsse

The pope rocks. In making a fool out of himself, his religion and all that believe it. This time he has condemned a little sculpture portraying a crucified green frog holding a beer mug and an egg as blasphemous and requested the Museion museum to remove it. The wooden sculpture by the late German artist Martin Kippenberger depicts a frog about 1 metre 30 cm (4 feet) high nailed to brown cross and holding a beer mug in one outstretched hand and an egg in another. Luckily the board gave Pope Benedict the finger and deceided this piece of art will remain where it is, at least during the current exposition.

Religion 0 – 1 Freedom

Loser

Loser

Imagine. You’re 19 years old, have signed a two-year contract with Ajax and won 150 euro from your collegue with a cardgame, but he didn’t pay yet. What would you do?

If you are Vito Wormgoor you go into the locker room and take the money yourself from his wallet. Gaining 150 euro and losing your contract. Personally I would chose the other option.

Vito, good luck finding yourself a job! Loser…
