What an amazing series of coincidences…all three of the most popular Web browsers in the world made headline news. First, Chrome released its latest, Version 10 today to rave reviews. Next, Microsoft will be releasing its newest browser, Internet Explore, Ver. 9 on Monday. And finally, Mozilla released its Firefox 4 Release Candidate, the last step before the final version hits the streets.
I went to download Chrome 10 today and found it has already been installed. Chrome does that, which is fine by me. I should say that if you have not tried Chrome before, now is a great time to do so. I have been using Chrome and Firefox on a 50/50 basis for some time now, and Chrome just keeps getting better. This new one is fast…trust me on that. I will probably wait on Firefox till the final version is out, but I will be updating Internet Explorer next week for sure. I have been using a Release Candidate of IE9 for some time now and while it is the best version ever of IE, I will probably stick with the other two for regular use. - JRC
Chrome 10: Close to a perfect Web Browser 10
I’ve liked the Google Chrome Web browser since it first showed up in 2008. Today, with the slipstream release of Chrome 10, I may finally be ready to retire all my other Web browsers. The reason I’m considering doing this is quite simple. Chrome 10 is screamingly fast.
Microsoft to launch Internet Explorer 9 Monday at SXSWi
Microsoft will be formally launching the next version of its Internet Explorer browser, IE9, at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival (SXSWi) on Monday--an interesting place to launch, given that the Austin, Texas, geek fest is packed full of the hordes who have long since ditched Internet Explorer for the decidedly hipper pastures of Firefox, Safari, or Chrome.
Amazon considering free Kindles for Prime members?
There are more rumors fluttering around Seattle that at some point, likely the holiday season of 2011, Amazon will start giving away its Kindle e-book reader for free, likely to select (as in Prime) members. And as the e-book market expands, the possibility is looking more and more likely.
Will Apple outgrow its reputation as an elitist brand?
During the past year, Apple’s ascent to becoming the world’s largest technology company has raised a number of important questions about the current state of the tech world and its future trajectory. But, the most prescient question for 2011 is whether Apple has committed to moving beyond its stronghold as a premium technology brand to become a computing vendor for the masses.
