gchrome-com-google-chrome-browser

Chrome Google Browser it’s on the way to hit the world and i just thought that it should be a domain out there about it. I checked all the possible combinations and it seems that gchrome.com is the official  Chrome page!

The has the “powered by google” at the footer and an  “i’m feeling lucky” on the top . Also there is a video from the Hong Kong department of Google.

The domain was registered on 20-Nov-07 (that’s way a lot of time before anyone knew about Chrome) but under a private registration.

Well, stay tuned at gchrome.com and we’ll figure out if this is the one :)

It seems that at Google they have found a way to tale advantage of humanity’s second most wasted time (sleep is #1) :) . At Girl Geek Dinners 3rd anniversary event that took place a couple of days ago in London …

google-tech-on-the-toilet-2

there was a leaflet on the toilets’ walls with instructions on defragment. The title was “Google Tech on the Toilet” and that seemed to be the “episode 1″! This photo was taken by Nevon in the men’s room. I suppose there must have been a similar one in women’s room :)
