Lost amid the hubbub about the new iPhone is the release of the latest version of Apple web browser Safari. Apple is saying that the new version is 3% faster than the latest stable build of Chrome (5.0) and twice as fast as Firefox 3.6. All of this is based on SunSpider JavaScript tests of Apple’s latest Nitro engine. Safari is also adding a new feature called “Reader” which will make it easier to read webpages by taking away all the excess design (and ads).

Chromium

Wed ,06/02/2010

That’s right, Chromium. What is it? It is Google’s new OS. This operating system is quite different from Windows or Macs. This OS is based off Google Chrome which is Google’s web browser. However, this OS cannot be installed through discs or upgrading your laptop. You must buy a net book or laptop designed for the Google Chrome OS and has it already pre-installed. Why you ask? Because Google Chrome OS is a strictly web-based OS. That means you can’t even log on unless you have access to the internet so this OS isn’t for everyone.

But on the bright side, you no longer have a hard drive that stores everything and have to worry about it crashing or failing. These net books with Chromium already install have a solid-state flash memory because everything you need is stored online through Google’s servers. This OS also only works with online applications. If you perform regular word processing or spreadsheet work, you could easily use Google Docs. One more perk to Chromium is its claim for speed. While the usual Windows OS takes roughly a minute to load, Chromium can load in 7 seconds. Fast huh?
