Google Chrome Browser is Now Number One

This is truly an amazing feat – Google Chrome has surpassed Microsoft Internet Explorer as the number one used browser – on the planet.

 

I am sure this is because of Google’s strength and reach around the world, and it shows how no leadership position is ever safe in the tech world.

 

So, we have seen the Netscape browser give way to Microsoft IE, and then the Open movement and Firefox. Now Google Chrome, and also Safari from Apple. We have choices, consumers are voting with their clicks and Google is winning. They have built the most valuable set of web franchises right now – (valued at almost $200 billion), and they have moved into email, mapping, browser, payments, streaming video, mobile and more all from their beach head position in search.

Cannes Film Festival

I am proud to say that Indiewire.com is the best place to find information about films and the festival itself.

 

Click here to read reviews – and find out about the best events and parties and see interviews with directors, actors and producers of the newly unveiled films.

 

The Cannes Film Festival is an amazing event – and no one covers it like Indiewire.com.

Nirvana

I was listening to some old Nirvana on my iPod this morning. What a fantastic sound, and you can really hear Dave Grohl bang away on the drums in their older work.

 

It is amazing to me that 18 years have passed since Kurt Cobain took his own life. So sad – the loss of teen spirit.

 

 

Here is a wonderful film on his life and times – on SnagFilms.com, called “Kurt and Courtney”.

 

This one is worth your time.

Compare This to That

Attendance lags is a lead story in the Washington Post newspaper – followed a few weeks later by attendance is booming story on a blog within the Post network of sites! The attendance lag story, though, gets more ink and pixels; “dog bites man – NOT a story, man bites dog – now that is a story!”

 

Good for the Washington Nationals. What a great local franchise – and what a great fan base is being developed. I love going to Nationals games as a season ticket holder.

 

Good to see Tom Boswell showing his ‘Natitude here too.

 

A great weekend of baseball indeed.
