Today it appears that the newest video in this series has let loose a Google Chrome extension that adds to the repertoire of a perhaps soon to be explosive Google project that works with their search results (and much more, we must assume,) it being called simply: +1.

, May 4th 2011 Discuss [7]

Below you’ll see a commercial for Google Chrome which uses a project by gay-rights activist Dan Savage. The project he speaks about that eventually ties itself in with Google Chrome is the “It Gets Better” project.

But what does all that have to do with Google Chrome?

, Apr 27th 2011 Discuss [0]

Google has been working on Chrome for a while now and has sent out notebooks to reviewers in the past to check out the OS. The machines that went out weren't about the hardware at all, the OS was the focus.
