| | Hopefully Google will at some point start an online auction facility similar to eBay. I have found that eBay acts exactly as all monopolies do offering poor service with ever increasing fee structures until someone gives them reason to change.

| | So far I think wherever Google has entered, they've created the best (or one of) applications/services in that area. It forces the competition to up their game and if they can't, the best product will win out.
If I was a big corporation and heard that Google was going to enter my industry, I would be scared and be pulling off whatever I could to keep my market share. And if I was an insider, I might start dumping my shares.  |

| | I've been using Chrome for a good while now. It has it's moments, but I like the speed with which it opens - simple really, but nothing more annoying than a web browser that takes more than 2 seconds to open! |

| | CEO Eric Schmidt was asked about how Chrome was doing. Here’s an excerpt A Conversation With Sergey Brin And Eric Schmidt
Q: You keep adding to Chrome and nobody seems to be paying attention. If that is one of the places where the battle is fought you seem pretty far behind.
Sergey: Perhaps that is true in media . . .
Schmidt: let me, some of your assumptions about Chrome adoption are wrong. The adoption rate of Chrome is [very strong]. We are going to do a better job of getting that message out.
Schonfeld: Steve Ballmer calls it a rounding error, is it?
Schmidt: I don’t respond to Steve Ballmer questions. Next question?

The biggest irritant to me is not having a file open option (yet) for downloads.
Empires come and go I can't see MS rolling over just yet. The 'new paradigm' which is really thin client brought up to date has failed many times before, it will be interesting to see if Google can make an old paradigm work by wrapping it up in a browser and cloud computing. |

| | Bill Gates must be pissed,
this OS wrapped in the browser was his idea,
but he was forced to unbundle it years ago...
