Seth H. Weintraub: Google hitting the airwaves with Chrome browser campaign
Google is hitting the airwaves this weekend with a flurry of television
advertising. They hope to position the Chrome Browser against Firefox, Safari,
Opera but mostly against Internet Explorer which still holds a strong majority
of the Browser market share, even theough it has fallen in recent years. Chrome
is currently in fourth place just above Opera, according to NetApplications
data.

Preston Gralla: The artists behind Windows 7's whacked-out art

psychedelics, Japanese anime, and some Hieronymus Bosch grotesques. I've got
information about the artists behind the art, as well as screenshots.
