Turns out that the "developer preview" of Google's latest creation, Google Wave, is not as open as one would expect, with the preview only being open to attendees of Google's I/O conference but there is another way to see it in action. And forget wanting to use IE6 with it.
Google has announced a new Chrome Operating System, designed for the web and with a browser baked directly into it so much so that the entire OS is named after it. But the search giant should watch out: this decision seems designed to attract antitrust attention.
Will ninemsn and Yahoo7 maintain their dominance in the fight for the share of our internet time? Will they continue to adapt and survive?
