I first tried Google Chrome when it came out.
As well as the silly EULA (Now Amended by Google) one other bug issue I had with it was it wouldn’t run Java plugins.
I thought it was time to try again, and as if by magic, it is now working.
I don’t know what changed, it may be my machine that I upgrade Java in, or it may be Google’s Chrome.
Either way, it now works.
Now the hunt is on to find an ad-blocker….
Google have done it again, adding a feature they call “transit layer” to their google maps and google earth products.
A suitable overlay is added when the “transit” layer is added. Whilst coving London, there are many other cities that now get the same treatment.
Google Transit Layer Example

At last, we can now easily see that the circle line, is in fact, not a circle.
Google EULA is now making the news as it appears all ownership of anything that passes through Chrome become the intelectual property of Google.
Start – Programs – Google Chrome – Uninstall Google Chrome
Are you sure you want to uninstall Google Chrome? (Was it something that we said?)
You could say that.

[EDITED: 4th Sep 08 - Google have now changed the EULA]
Looks like Chrome is faster than the competition, the Javascript runs incredibly fast compared with the others (full details here http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-10030888-92.html at cnet).
However, do we really need that speed of JavaScript?
It will certainly make the google web applications faster, as well as others.
But, do we really need that speed?
Then again, why should we put up with slow.
www.Mashable.com are reporting today that Google have signed a deal with GeoEye, which will result in a significant quality jump for the maps and earth products.
No date on when we will see the new pictures, but you might find you can see yourself in your back garden.
A point to note – the new satellite has not been launched into space yet.
