I’m not here to measure just how revolutionary open-source web browser Google Chrome is. I did that elsewhere.
The problem with Google Chrome is that people are not supposed to ask if they should paranoid about using it.
The problem with Google Chrome is that an uproar in the blogosphere should not be needed for its questionable privacy policy/license agreement/terms of service to be modified.

Mysterious New Logo for Yahoo! by Noel Perlas
I normally hate it when big brands redesign their logos. Often the rebranding just doesn’t make sense. But I must say, there’s reason enough behind the new Yahoo! logo—flaunt the purple and make the name more readable, while still making sure it has that outlandish feel.
