Google launched its browser today, the Chrome, and I downloaded. Another browser after Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, IE, Safari and yea, do you remember Netscape Communicator? The big daddy of all. Netscape used to be the coolest thing, way ahead of IE or the one that came with AOL. Haha, remember dial-up? NetZero? Juno? Netscape Communicator used to come with an array of softwares like the composer which is a simple webpage maker and an e-mail program which was pretty useful and convenient, all in one package. Yeah, back in the days when internet was simplier. Every new Netscape version was a must have. Remember the lighthouse from Netscape? I thought that was the coolest thing.
Now people say, "Google it," but there was a time, probably back in early high school that we would say, "Yahoo it." How time changes things. And before then there was also metacrawler, self-proclaimed to be the most powerful search engine on the planet because it let you search with several search engines at the same time such as, excite, altavista and etc.
At work, I am, well, we are going back into working on the last edition (editing) of the world history textbook before it get published and go on sale in 2009 for the coming school year. It's back to Chinese-English translating/editing for me. At first it was a bit to get back into it, but I somewhat got back the handle of it just before lunch time.
