A good while back I tossed a post up here about the fact that I thought Google would be releasing a browser. It ended up on the front page of lockergnome and then link swarm picked it up as well. In a matter of a few hours, my server went up in a plum of smoke. Fortunately, It was down only briefly as my host was nice enough to reset my bandwidth for the month.

At the time I was actually pretty much certain the the browser was just the first step. Others, even Scoble, thought the idea that Google would release a browser was ridiculous, yet alone an OS!... I guess the reserving of gbrowser.com was just to thwart the domain squatters or maybe a smoke screen.

Hmmm. Seems hindsight truly is the only perfect vision. Seriously though, I think it is kinda kewl that we are going to get a sneak peak at Google Chrome OS today. Least that is what this Tech Crunch Article says. Personally, I am pretty hooked on Chrome as my browser at the moment.

Good Day Readers,
I seem to have many many links that i wish to share and they are stacking up quickly. I thought I would reduce the list by simply doing a few quick and dirty posts.

• Topping the list is an important reminder from the DogReader over at Lockergnome. It seems that about half the surfers out there are at risk because of security flaws in thier browsers
• Alex over at the same super blog notes that the ValueSoft package of Ubuntu Linux is, more or less, a simply paying for something that is free
• This falls under "you gotta be kidding me" category. Some drunk decided to join a team of firemen!
• Over at Furl Dog I discovered that these missile photos may have well been poorly doctored. This however, was noticed only after> many major newspapers published the photos.
• Over at AdRant, they point out why translation is still best left to humans and not software.

I found this via my My delicious Network. Not only is it furniture but functional.. Thought it was worth a quick post.

Certain things can happen to anyone, other things only happen to me. Is my Google Reader angry because I am trying FeedDeamon 2.6?

Two days ago, I was rading my feeds with Google Reader. Check out the summary for this head line. This hiccup was gone by the time I came returned from work. It effected not all the feed but only a few. The headlines and summaries are scrambled up. I had no luck figuring out where the summarries actually belonged. The headlines go to the relevant post. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have any explanations?

I thought it might have been a little glitch or such. I tried refresh and restarting the browser but nada. The issue remained for the same feeds. I have been using Google Reader for a good while now and have never noticed this before. Other than both summaries having a spelling error or typo, I see nothing in common between them. Has it been doing this to a few feeds right along and I have never noticed?
