Are you drunk? I go to great lengths to make sure that these things DON'T happen on my computer. Don't get me wrong, I love google. They are probably the best friend open source ever had.

This is just my first reaction on viewing the front page, so it might change. LMAO

There is a little more in depth explanation of what it is.

Here is a good video about it, but it gets very technical at times.

I think often times you are correct.

I also believe often times you are paranoid.

This could be a great way to deploy browser apps quickly - could be very beneficial to many.

And if those many practice safe computing then all should be okay.

Of course, sometimes when someone looks both ways before crossing a street they still don't see a Mac truck and still get hit.

My point is not to live too paranoid.  I guess if you never cross a street you never have to worry about it.  But who wants to live like that?

Often times? I'm always paranoid. LOL

And if it rained roast beef, there would be no hunger in the world.

No one. But I'm just saying that if your on a street that you are unfamiliar with, maybe it wouldn't hurt to look both ways twice. LOL

Exactly - trust, but always cut the deck.

Trust that a car traveling 120+mph (that you can't hear or see 'cause it's a mile away and over the hill) doesn't slam into you halfway accross the street.  I believe you should not only look twice, but continue to look while crossing.

Don't ever let your guard down.

Don't ever let your guard down.

For all anybody knows, this is some elaborate way of getting to spy on your web habits so Google can sell them so someone. That's big business.

Guess you won't be crossin' the street... I'll wave at you from the other side.

BTW, you know micro$oft uses a lower case m right?

[krAzykrAkr01]

BTW, you know micro$oft uses a lower case m right?

Just because M$ don't understand how the english language works. A proper noun is always capitalized.

no, no, no.  Logos and names of companies can take "poetic license."

You know, like "Home Depot."

It's pronounced dep-O not Dee-Po.

BUT - they get to take poetic license and call themselves Home Dee-Po.  And no one complains... (except purists)

[krAzykrAkr01]

no, no, no.  Logos and names of companies can take "poetic license."

We don't allow poets around here. LMAO

[buckshot]

If that's what makes you feel better...

"Well you can't criticize what you don't understand - well the times they are a changin'..."  JD.

I beleive you have that poet in your library...

He never tried to corner the music industry with non-competitive practices. LOL

Have you tried their new browser? Chrome? Wanker said he was using it. I don't know if he still is, but it's supposed to be fast.
