Yesterday in London, UK Google launched a massive advertising campaign for the Google Chromium Chrome floss free libre open open-source browser project !

Chromium aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web. The Chromium site contains design documents, architecture overviews, testing information, and more to help you learn to build and work with the Chromium source code.

STOP PRESS and now on the front page of The Stylist and The Shortlist too !

Apparently the real Google Ubuntu Chromium OS is based on Ubuntu and not on OpenSuse ! And the official download is only available as sourcecode which you have to build-it-yourself ! So by implication any other ISO or VM downloads that claim to be Chromium OS are possibly spoofs or fakes !

Thanks to Alan Pope for alerting me to the spoof ISO i downloaded last week !

According to http://hintofsarcasm.wordpress.com/2009/10/20/installing-chromium-on-opensuse-11/ installing the google chromium browser onto opensuse is a one click install ! Of course its zero clicks if you are already using a google opensuse chromium chrome os vm which comes with the google chromium chrome browser pre-installed !

Proof that Google Chromium OS is in fact OpenSuse 11.1 !

Even though Chrome OS was only released a few weeks ago you can already build or download pre-built Chrome OS Virtual Machines for VirtualBox and VMware !

Turbo: Speed up WordPress

WordPress now has support for Google Gears, which adds new features to your web browser. After you install and enable Gears, most of WordPress’ images, scripts, and CSS files will be stored locally on your computer.
This speeds up page load time but don’t install on a public or shared computer.

I just used Google to search for JavaScriptWebServices and got 51,000,000 which was completely UNEXPECTED.
It seems that Google had decided to split my single 'word' search into two separate words and if i want to stop Google 'splitting' my keywords i have to enclose them in ""'s as in "JavaScriptWebServices" and only then get the < 10 results I waqs expecting !

So when did Google start arbitarily changing users queries and how can I stop them doing it again ?
