This Week’s Topics






Comments from the Editor

The Beatles sang, “All you need is love,
love, love is all you need.” The question today is, do you need another
browser?

Google is suppose to be launching a beta of their new Chrome browser
today in order to take some of the love away from Internet Explorer,
FireFox, and the other browsers. The question is, will you be giving
Google the love?

Google announced details of their beta browser using an online comic
book. You can find it at http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/index.html.

Until next week…

Brad!
