Google Chrome is an open-source browser developed by Google using existing
WebKit rendering engine (the one used in Apple’s Safari browser) and its
own Google Gears technology for offline use of supported web applications.
The browser developed by Google is described by the company as something of a
new generation of browser - the one working mainly with rich interactive
applications instead of simple text pages of the past. The browser has
launched as a Windows-only beta version with versions for Mac and Linux
claimed to be in the works.
I spent all day yesterday constantly refreshing Google Chrome site hoping to
be able to play with it before publishing my opinion about the browser.

This isn’t a rhetorical question. I was surprised at how few people asked
this after the recent dust-up with Yahoo’s telecommuting ban. The real
issue isn’t whether you can stay at home in your sweats but what happens

different offices of many tech companies, I have noticed that there are some

executives. How the company treats both matters more than where they are
doing the actual work. (Assuming that they are working from home and not just
watching Downton reruns.)
There are several office styles that I have seen over the years:
– The bullpen. This is the current favorite, although it certainly isn’t
new. I remember my first job out of college was working for Nameless
Insurance in midtown Manhattan, where our desks were... (more)

security. The cyber security study revealed that nearly two-thirds (64%) of
those surveyed expect their organisation to be the target of a cyber attack
within the next 12 months. Nearly one in three (32%) of those confirmed that
their business had already been hit by a cyber attack during the past year.

attack, with almost half of those surveyed saying that they did not know if
they had been compromised. 70% of organisations that use point-of-sale
systems to process payments admitted they had no way of knowing if their
systems had been targeted. Strategic Five Mark... (more)
