Google Chrome

Google Chrome is certianly not my favorite browser. There is a lot of stuff you can do, but its over compilcated just to search the internet. People just seem to like it because you can change the browser back ground that you can barely even see. i preffre internet explorer, its just more basic and gets to the point

The video showed that Mac is better than PC computers, but it that true? All computers have disadvantages and advantages and at some point your computer will crash. Mac computers are more money than a PC, why is that? There are reasons that Mac are more money such as, Apple has hardware and software, and Macs are advertised so much that people think that a Mac is the best way to go for a computer. The company realizes that the Macs are well advertised and know that they will sell no matter what price they are, and the parts to the Mc computers cost so much money if one needs to be replaced.
So are Macs really the best? Well when buying a PC the Microsoft office comes with the computer. When you buy the PC computers you get the “licence” for using Microsoft. When Macs were first designed and became public they were known to be used for pictures in the media and PC’s were just a computer. PC’ s can be used for just about anything. When Mac is being studied there is always one point that is brought up and that it that the Mac has a more stable system.

The computers that people buy are their own opinion. People buy computers that they want. Yes, the advertisements that people see on TV or however it does affect their decision. Most people who have a computer know what type of computer they like and know what they would buy in the future. Whoever buys a computer, it is their choice what type they buy.

Google Chrome

I really like Google chrome I have never herd of it till we talked about it in class. I really liked using it. It’s a simple browsers compared to others, I liked that there were tab so you can see what you have open and you don’t have to have 10 different windows open at once. I also liked that it was so fast and how simple it was there wasn’t a ton of tool bars at the top so I think that anyone could really use it and be able to understand it. The only thing I didn’t really like is that when you click on the middle of the tab sometimes it deletes the tab when you don’t want it to. Besides that I thought it was awesome and I just might get it on my computer at home.

Google Chrome

Google Chrome is one of the greatest browsers I’ve tried, its by far the fastest as almost any who have used it know. It is incredibly simple although its customizablity comes at a small price of confusion it isn’t enough to lower my appreciation of this browser. There is only one bad part that I have found about Chrome and I’ll adress that later, as well as the fact that google is taking over though off topic it is true.

Now Chrome is fast, very fast, it can load a web page several times faster than its explorer counterpart and about double the speed of Mozilla firefox. Surprisingly this program does work wonders on a slow computer, as it is so simple and there is so much less… toolbar. The program even features an “extension” called the Incognito window, which to my knowledge creates a window that is outside of the computer’s history and allows youth to view very wordly things, and all of this without anyone else knowing a thing. Go google?

As for my issue with the program it comes down to the ease of browser manipulation, such as setting ones homepage, or deleting the the cookies in the history. Google makes these things difficult when simplicty would have sufficed. Regardless overall it is a very good browser and I would recommend it as it is fast, it is reliable except for the fact that the flash player has a lust for crashing and must do so at least once a day or else it dosent feel man enough. The overall ease of use is unsurpassed and it makes surfing the internet a real joy.

ALSO. I want to talk about the google company itself, they are overtaking the internet, they have already overtaken youtube, they have created a very successful cell phone line, as well as have generated a very large fan base. Google is taking over as they know us, Google chrome is a masterpiece of internet browsing, simple and efficient, soon they will have youtube as well as the cellphone industry. They are the next juggarnaught of tech that microsoft and apple were before them and I believe google is certainly changing the way we all feel about life, through technology.

Google Chrome is a new internet browser. It seemes to be much faster and easyer on the eyes then any other browser I have used. I like the Tab system they have, and also I like how it is different then other web browsers. This web browser is very user friendly with no extra tool bars. I also like the spell check that they have on Google Chrome, it's much easier to blog then to have to open a word document and do it from there. Over all I think that this is a great web browser but I think Iwill stay with Safari.

Chrome

Google Chrome is a new browser that is said to be faster then all the rest. After using Google Chrome I have not noticed that much of a difference in speed. However, Google Chrome does look better and at the same time runs as fast (If not a little fater) than other browsers I have used. One of the things I really like about Google Chrome is that all your little downloads (too small to go on bitcomet or limewire) are saved for you under downloads and are also displayed on a small bar at the bottom of the screen. One of the things that I do not like about Google Chrome is that when you right click a picture it does not give you the option to set it as your back ground. You have to save it first and then click your download bar and then set it as your background. This results in alot of pictures cluttering up your downloads file. Other than this small flaw I enjoy Google Chrome and use it day to day for all my internet browsing.

Google Chrome is a new edition of searcher for google. it is much faster than the old google. it also seems easier to use because there are no tool bars. you can keep a lot of tabs open at the same time so you can search diffrent parts of a topic. it is also easier on the eyes with bigger font.

Google chrome

i downloaded Google chrome before we were even suppose to because i wanted to see what all the talk was about. i have liked it quite a bit actually. the fact that it has a spell check built into the internet makes it very convenient. especially for blogging. some people complain that it doesn't have very many features, well i like that it doesn't have that many features. that is not what they were aiming for. Google chrome is made to be fast and slimmed down. keeping it as simple as possible. i like that. i cant stand all the features that internet explorer usually has all those tool bars at the top they take up so much space its not worth it. Google chrome appears to me to be the perfect internet platform for me. i love simple setups. another feature i like is that the bar were you type in website names has quite a large library of popular sites that it remembers and suggests to you even if you have never been there before. the incognito tab is pretty cool but i don't see how it would help you any unless you were planning on doing things without the real owner of the computer knowing.

Google chrome

Google chrome is the new Google internet browser, that has many good features, and some not so good features. The first good feature is the visual browser history. The first thing that you can do is open up the history and choose a link that you have recently been on to and click on it to go back there to it. The second good feature of this browser is the fact that you can reopen website tabs that you accidentally close. If you accidentally close the tab you can go and hit control- z to undo the mistake. The next good thing is that you can customize links, free Hotmail, windows marketplace, windows media, and windows at the top of the Google chrome page. When i was reading up on several blogs about chrome i also noted that if you got on a rogue page the whole thing would crash and you get a Lego like image.

Google Chrome

I have been using Google Chrome ever since I can remember, and have loved it every minute. When I first downloaded it, it was in the Beta stages and I got a virus from it but I have never held it against Google. I love all of the Chrome features, it is also clean, fast and simple and there are no tool bars that take up half the screen. I use everything on Chrome. Incognito windows I use so that things don't show up in my history. Inspect elements when you right click is useful when I am designing websites. I can even change the theme and colors to my likings. It is also very easy to use the and allows me to easily view my history, have many windows/tabs open at once, pins my favorite/most used websites to my homepage. Like every other browser it asks me if I want to save my passwords, which is and always will be convenient and it also has built in spell check (like most things these days). I am also an extreme downloader so it is nice that Chrome archives all my downloads in my documents and allows me to have a tab open just for my downloads. I have also found that if I have a problem with the page I am viewing, if I sent a message to the people at Google they will quickly try their best and fix it for my (luckily they always have). I have only ever found one downfall to Google Chrome and that is that I have to save my picture before I can set them as my background.

I have read various amounts of what other people think of Google Chrome and everyone seems to have the same opinion: that its a good browser, works great, fast, nice looking BUT everyone also sees its flaws, that it could be better protected. I don't see these problems, I believe Chrome has great security but I am not everyone. Every browser does have its problems but after using a variety of them Google Chrome is definitely my favorite.

Google Chrome

I enjoy Google Chrome more than I enjoy Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari. I like the tabs at the top so it makes it easier to use. I like that the font is different and bigger so it is easier. I have Google Chrome on my laptop at my house, I am actually thinking about putting it on my dad's for him so he can see the title of the search he is on. I like how it has the past history in a different tab.

Google Chrome!

Features: I like how at the top of the browser screen, there are tabs that you can open up a new page and still have your other information just a click of a bottom away, it is simple and advanced at the same time, all the bottoms are easy to notice, and it runs your internet browser faster then interest employer. The only downfall that I have noticed when using Google chrome was when I wanted to change the background on the desktop, and I noticed that you have to have save the picture before setting it as the background, or you can just copy the address.
Others opinion: I searched the web to see what information I could find on the new Google chrome web browser, and most of the comments were that people liked it, and had really good comments about it like they believe it is faster, safer, and simpler to run rather then internet explorer. Yes some people did say that they weren’t crazy over it, but everyone has different opinions and mine Google chrome all the way!

Google Chrome

Google Chrome

Personally I find Google chrome much better than the regular Google. Google chrome is a faster search engine. When you open a new tab it gives you your most recent/common used web pages. The tabs actually work on it.

Many people like that chrome is faster. It is designed to keep you safer. New incognito window. (Doesn’t show up in your history) Google chrome is much simpler than the regular Google. You do not have a bunch of toolbars at the top of your screen. History is easy to view. It will ask you if you want to save your password on everything. You can customize it with colors to fit your liking. It archives all of your downloads. If you right click anywhere on the page you can click inspect element and it wil tell you everything about that page.

A downfall on Google chrome is you cannot set a picture to your background from a internet site without saving it first.

Mac vs PC

Mac is a lot faster then pc for louding and downlouding things. It has a better design, ergonomics, internet surfing, and vidio. The PC has better digital photo management and it works better.
I think if you are going to get a mac it would be good for work and downloading things.
I think the PC is a lot better for people who wants to play games and put photos on there computer.

Mac vs. PC

The Mac… versus the PC. These two types of computer have been butting antlers for a while now, and divide technology lovers in two. In this world, it can never be both. Its either all for one, or the other. People seem to think that have to fully support only one. I however do not agree with this, because both the Mac and the PC have excellent qualities.

Starting off with the Mac, the cosmetics of this machine have always maintained a pristine and modern-looking exterior (This alone usually wins over the under educated buyer). As far the interior of the computer goes, (components monitor...Etc) it is very compact and efficient looking. However, this makes it much more difficult for a technician to repair thus resulting in disposing of the computer and replacing it. Also, when exploring Mac's operating system, it seems very basic and easy to use for the general public, and because it is a newer variation on the computer, there are fewer viruses made for it. Almost any computer technician will tell you that Mac is the way to go if you are a first time buyer because they are easy to maintain and operate.

Personally, the PC is my favorite for many reasons. Unlike the Mac, the PC and much more susceptible to many different viruses, meaning an anti virus must be updated daily for proper protection. The PC would most likely be found in the homes of experienced technicians, gamers, hobbyists, and anti-Mac users. The reason why technicians love the PC so much is because you are more able disassemble, and customize it with different components. In my opinion, the PC is more for fun to use because the controls and visuals for PC gaming is much more advanced than Mac's gaming controls.

Giving a situation, if i were helping someone buy their first computer, I would probably head them in the Mac direction because they are much more organized-looking, less susceptible to viruses, and more and more businesses are switching to Mac. Despite this, I will always be a PC user because I like to take them apart.

MAC vs. PC
I personally think that the Mac is better than the pc because the average start for the Mac is 28.7 seconds and the PC is 1 minute and 13 seconds. Some of the Pc’s can’t be customized and the Mac can be customized. The Mac is shipped within 24 hours and the Pc takes 2-3 days to leave the store. The average shut down for the Mac is 4.0 seconds, and the average shutdown for the PC is 44.3 seconds. Mac’s never get viruses and PC usually gets plenty of viruses.
Mac’s are good for graphics, video, and photography. The pc is better for other uses like communication. It really depends on what you like to do on the computer. I personally like to go on msn, facebook, and YouTube. I find that the Mac has a better sound system. There is more software on the PC compared to the Mac. I like the Mac’s for sound, and I like PC because I enjoy msn. I personally think they would be the same but the prices are a big difference, people think the Mac is pricy.
