Google Chrome - Open Source Web Browser built on Webkit

Google launched its much ambitious and mostly camouflaged stand-alone open source application called Chrome. A browser developed for windows vista/xp using open source browser engine webkit.

Early, Google Blogoscoped has published a lengthly cartoon sent to them by Google and drawn by Scott McCloud that provides the first public details about Google Chrome, an open source browser based on WebKit and powered by Google Gears that has been rumored but never before confirmed.

The Red Flag-08, considered one of the toughest military exercises, at the Air Force base Nellis in Nevada, US, entered its final phase following the crawl, walk and run pattern of exercise.

In its largest-ever overseas deployment, IAF’s six Sukhois, two IL-78 and one IL-76 aircraft, along with 247 personnel, are now in the final “run” phase of the Red Flag exercise, pitting their skills against American F-15s and F-16s, as also French Rafale fighters and South Korean F-15K jets.

The event mixed China’s millennia of history and hi-tech present as a modern global powerhouse.

The four-hour event, meticulously choreographed by Zhang Yimou, China’s most celebrated film director, ended with the final torch bearer, the former Olympic gymnastics champion Li Ning, being hoisted aloft by invisible wires.
