Chrome

So, Google builds a web browser that is better able to handle javascript applications - such as Google Apps. The cynical part of me would say that Google is trying to solve a problem they themselves created. 

I use GMail, Google Reader and Google Docs regularly and I'm absolutely delighted at the improved performance and stability. 

Ofcourse, running Google's apps in Google's browser has the smell of monopoly attached to it. But I'm too high on all the fresh air to care.

All hail our new evil overlords!
