I'm liking Google Chrome
<p>...I can say that I'm liking Chrome itself a lot more than that tedious comic thing. I've never heard of this Scott McCloud chappie before and I can only assume that he must be capable of much better things than the Google Chrome comic 'cos that was simply dreadful. Software engineering for dummies drawn in a particularly cringeworthy textbook illustration style.</p><p>Still, I suppose that it could be useful in explaining some of the whys and wherefores of Google Chrome (and browsers and software engineering in general) to the hard of thinking.</p><p>Perhaps I'm just more of the Mills/O'Neill or Frank Miller type... </p>

Adrian you are wrong about Scott McCloud on so many counts it's not true. The google chrome cartoon was a brilliant piece of work that explained hard things very simply. McCloud is very famous indeed and is also very very clever. Everyone should have read at least Understanding Comics. And I say this as someone who is not a fan of the graphic novel or comics.

Jwalk is in LOVE with it too!<br />

<p>anyone.<br />so if I may, please help me understand.</p><p>If I want to browse more pages, I simply open more browser windows, and choose as needed from the opened tabs at the bottom? I know this may seem a silly question, but I am trying to understand. How does one choose a past page, say 5 or 6 pages down. IE has a dropdown window to choose from. no?</p>

I guess I am asking, other than the one page at a time back button, how does one go back several pages at a time? Thanks guys.

<p>Hi Lindsay. I'm sure that I must be wrong about Scott McCloud in all sorts of ways. I don't doubt that he's very clever and he does seem to be very well regarded. He also does have an obvious (and rare!) knack for explaining things simply.</p><p>But his general style, and the Google Chrome comic book in particular, just don't seem to work for me at all. Maybe I'm just a dyed-in-the-wool "dense text and old-fashioned abstract diagrams" type when it comes to explaining technical stuff.</p><p>Oh well, there you go. 'Twould be a tedious old world if we were all the same... </p>
Adrian
<p>Still generally enjoying using Chrome itself though. Doesn't seem too bad.</p><p>Mind you, I haven't yet tried putting a packet sniffer on it yet to see whether it's also sending everything that I type to some vast Orwellian database at Google HQ... <img src="../../js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /></p>

<p>Ah HA!</p><p> </p><p>This morning, before coffee. I hesitated on the back buttton.</p><p>Discovery is so pleasent.</p>

<p><font color="#ff0033">'... the Chrome EULA reads like a lot of Google's other EULAs. It requires users to "give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and nonexclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services." </font></p><p> <strong>Fuck that</strong>!! Google can kiss my arse! What I write and publish is MINE. </p><p> </p><p>Arrogant assholes. <br /></p>

I agree Chy. Bad enough my thoughts belong to 'the man' when I create a the office....
