In a few days, Google will begin distributing a third beta version of Chrome .

In this new version users will find improvements in speed and performance. In addition, several problems were corrected and enhanced security.

Mark Larson, Program Manager of Chrome said on a mailing list that "will receive the updates automatically within the next few days."

It correct a serious problem that may compromise the safety of users, a site can convince a user to open a pop-up window that can display an address different from that really shows the information. This can cause the user to create confusion and gives data to sites that actually are false and are designed to steal information.

You can see if there is a new version of the browser from the " About Google Chrome ".

In an interview conducted by the New York Times Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner of Opera Software , will unveil several aspects of this company that does not suggest, but do not go away.

One detail that we can not overlook, is that engineers Opera have developed a version of Opera Mini for iPhone , though Apple not allowed release it because your Web browser competes with them ... it sounds ?.

We could say we're surprised by this attitude of Apple , but if we get to remember what we said a few weeks ago, we would be contradicting.

On the one hand, it is a mistake on the part of Opera Software to have developed something that they knew they would not approve (the license Development iPhone what makes clear) but I think a remarkable error of the Cupertino company, not allowing their users to try other alternatives ... which would give them an incentive to improve your current browser in this product, and even bring more support among developers.

Anyway, I would like to stress other aspects of the note by New York Times worth:

• Opera has tested different models without results, from product payment, with advertising, etc ... now staying with revenues searches within the browser;


• Invoice around $ 1 per user annually, by the use of such a search box (top right). This practice also creates value to the organization behind Firefox, Mozilla;


• The company charges the manufacturers of mobile devices, between 50 cents and $ 1 for each copy installed on products sold;


• Are negotiating with Sony and Philips to offer a browser that is installed in television sets for these companies, so people can watch videos-on-line;


• Von Tetzchner thinks that it will be the next GPS navigators in cars, where people need a browser to access information on places such as restaurants, or to check the weather online.

Opera Software clearly demonstrates, that is a competitor who will not leave soon ... and that is constantly seeking new ways to take advantage of the technologies they develop.

As a user of Firefox and Opera (though I usually use the first), I must say that it is an excellent product ... that just might not have given the nail on the head when it comes to surprise people (always what happens "to create" something and then another comes to assigning ...).

The terms of Cloud Computing are sounding increasingly familiar to sailing daily on the Internet, where it has long been using without even realizing it.

Now it is a phenomenon known, many are taking to address the disadvantages that you have, such as dependence on one supplier, and not because the downtime ... something that has not fallen either to Google , Who has decided to go out and defend .

The position of Google is obvious, advocates using Web services, because much of their business depends on it.

One of his best-known services in this area is Gmail , which appears to have succeeded in assessing the criticisms of some who are against Cloud Computing , stressing that this fall has had historically.

Google know and admit publicly that their services may be unavailable all day, but at least ensures that they have a uptime 99.9% (that is not as much as 99, 99,999 or 99%, but it is still respectable).

To show that 99.9% is not so bad, the company has announced a study of the consulting Radicati Group , which highlights the problems faced by companies with solutions installed in their own environment .

As you can see, the times of downtime unexpected are lower for GMail , in connection with solutions as GroupWise (twice), Lotus (three) and < > Exchange (four times !).

In turn, the times of

downtime planned (eg for maintenance), are absent in GMail , while in other cases significantly exceeds even the times of downtime unexpected.

As the people of

Google , the fact that a service is not available, reduces the levels of employee productivity because they can not access the tools they use to be able to work.

On the other hand, as

GMail is mounted on an installation based on a set of servers (hence the theme of Cloud Computing ), the possibility that the whole structure fails, it is minimal ( as indicated by the time of downtime unexpected), while the maintenance can be done on a segmented, minimizing (or eliminating, at best) time downtime planned.

In other words, if the structure that supports the

Cloud Computing is well armed, it is highly unlikely that the services no longer be available to its users.

With this message, the people of

Google tries to bring a bit of calm for those companies that are in doubt about whether to migrate its services to the "cloud", although it seems to me that to defend itself from other disadvantages (such as dependence on one supplier), will have a much harder task ahead.

In conclusion, the

Cloud Computing is not a magic solution (or new, as we said at the beginning), but neither is an option that we should discard. Like all the alternatives have their advantages and disadvantages, so each company must assess whether it really suits him.

As for the users ... if they are not tied to a company, the solution of

Cloud Computing really seems miraculous ... and especially now that everything is as "mobile", but should not lose sight of the disadvantages but ... in the future could find themselves with the typical sage who reproached them with a "I told you ".
