Ravings of a Nomadic Mind

we had a saying in University, "Google is God" when you had partied too hard and there was a last minute assignment, paper or project and we had only one night to complete then it was only Google that came to the rescue.no matter what the topic was, no matter how big the assignment it was always there. now we have Chrome beta, the newest and for some the most important factor, Google's  browser. 

well first the look it just looks like a very mature and grown up version of Google search page. Google has always kept the design simple be it the Google search page, mail or chat u can see the simplistic design philosophy there. I'm a FireFox fan, always have been. there are a bunch of browsers i have been using over the past six months. ranging from Firefox, Flock a browser based on the the FireFox platform, I've used apple's famed safari and then there is IE and now Chrome. now the big difference between all the others and the new kid on the block is again the minimalist user interface. it lets you make the best use of your screen size by removing all the other knick knacks from the interface unless you need them. then its got two modes. one where it keeps track of all the pages you use and displaying the most used every time you open a new page or tab and displaying the most viewed on the new page or tab. and then there is the incognito window with a suitably darkened window where "Pages you view (in this window) won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however."the best feature is that the address bar becomes one with a search window it uses predictive software trying to complete the phrases you input and coming up with the best combinations. Tabs which are the best innovation of the 'Fox and now have been included on all other browsers, have been integrated into the title bar of the page and shifted to the top of the page. basically its an innovative approach to the browser which as Google trademark approach to design. a friend of mine recently wrote some thing about the design philosophy of apple where there products have a  really clean  look and when it comes to other products stuff just gets complicated until you come down to individually designed products where the user simply drowns in a swamp of fields and check boxes. in the end all i will say is that Chrome is an ironic name, chrome, normally is bling, its all about attracting attention while Google has gone the other way and made it minimalist. My University moto said "Knowledge is Empowerment", by that standard Google has just reinvented itself as Internets New God. i cant wait for Google's phone, the i phone must be looking over its shoulder.
