4 Substantial Risks That Google Takes With Chrome OS
Google is a company well-known for taking risks with various kinds of software projects, and the upcoming Chrome OS will be one of its most ambitious projects yet. The open source operating system, which Canonical and the Ubuntu team have contributed to, includes some bold gambles from Google. These include automatic wipes of the operating system with subsequent reinstallation whenever malware is detected, no hard disks on netbooks housing Chrome OS and more. GigaOm has the four big risks Google is taking with the new OS.
Chrome and Firefox Get Upgrades
This week is a big one for open source browsers, which, as we've pointed out many times, are responsible for most of the innovation going on in the browser arena. The first beta version of Firefox 3.6 is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, and you can get it here. Meanwhile, Google has delivered a very fast new beta version of the Chrome browser, and it features bookmark syncing so that you can keep your bookmarks streamlined across multiple computers.
Are the Operating System Wars Back?
Ask many people who witnessed the rise of the PC when the operating system wars ended, and they'll think of many years ago, when Microsoft Windows arrived on about nine in 10 computers. While the Linux community often argues that the operating system wars are still raging, at least on the desktop, "raging" is a hard argument to support. Still, depending on which angle you view the modern operating system struggle from, there is a lot of interesting competition going on. John Dragoon, CMO of Novell, said as much in a Forbes piece titles "Battle of the OS Titans."
Chrome started to not work after some virus/trojan problem. Any idea why?
I have installed chrome last week.. It was working fine at that time. There was a torjan/virus infection on my winlogon.exe recently and I realized this when I have to start my computer two times, in order to succesffully login to the system.. Anyway AVG antivirus has found and cleaned the virus. I made a full system search with it and also used Spyware Doctor for a possible spyware infection too.. Now as far as I see there is nothing in the system.. However chrome started to not work on any site giving the error belows. iexplorer and firefox seems to be working on some basic sites and for some others giving "Content Encoding Error".(Eventhough I have reinstalled them)
Chrom is giving (net::ERR_FAILED): for all sites... I don't want to reinstall whole system just for this strange situation. any suggestions?

This appears to be a good idea - but it is not mentioned on the Chrome tutorial, and I can't see how to locate any icon or tab - can someone please advise how you invoke this?
