Google's Browser Chrome

Google is going to release their new browser later on today.

Here's the original article from their blog.

We think they are making a very good move. Winning the Internet browser is an important step to take if Google wants to dominate the online application sector. Why? Because if they have their own browser, they have a much better platform for its online software.

I believe this is what Google's trying to achieve:

A user can achieve almost all major computer tasks just off the browser, including:

Checking mails
Writing documents
Contacts Management
Drawing Pictures
File Storage
Instant Messaging
Gaming

Imagine if Google suceeds in all these, everyone can basically have their 'online version' of computer. That is, whenever a user wants to access his/her computer, just go online from any places in the world and log on to their Google account. How amazing! Even a stone age computer can handle these tasks. We will no longer be needing fast computers, we just need to demand faster servers from Google.

Think about it, if that happens, for some people, it can be pretty scary... Let's wait and see more.
