The Google Chrome browser if finally available for Mac! The Google Chrome browser has been available for PCs since September of 2008 and over a year later, we finally get it for Macs. I have used Chrome on my PC since it was first released, and I absolutely love it.

The Google Chrome download page makes three simple promises: Fast Start-up, Fast Loading, and Fast Search. I think this is a brilliant marketing technique on behalf of Google and also a far stretch away from the very thorough comic they released when Chrome was first released for PCs. The comic went into great detail explaining all the technical reasons why Chrome was supreme to other browsers. I think it was a hit with techies, but Google definitely got it right for the everyday user… just promise us speed!

Here’s the entire comic if you’re interested. I actually loved it.

Bing.com went down for 30 minutes and displayed an error today according to my favorite blog Mashable.com. It wasn’t a huge error Microsoft, so don’t worry, you’re still in the runnings to become America’s next top search engine.

To compete with Google News, Bing has a news aggregation page at http://www.bing.com/news. I’m not sold on the layout yet, as the first main listings in the center don’t resonate with me. I’d much rather see several main topics and news stories rather than 2 that Bing thinks are most relevant. However, on the left are major categories like “World,” “US,” and “Local.” On the far right are news listing based on the user’s set location.

Honestly, I don’t think I’ll be revisiting Bing News again to get my daily dose of “What’s going on in the world.” I’ll stick to Google, Yahoo, and CNN.
