Google Chrome for Mac: Don't hold your breath
Gather around, Apple fans. I have good news and bad news for you. The good news is that there is a preliminary version of Google Chrome up and running. Sort of. Google's Mike Pinkerton has posted a couple of screenshots of Chrome for Mac on his blog, including the very first time he used it to load a webpage. It's coming, folks.Now the bad news from Mike himself, "We've got a very very long way to go." He says that the WebKit that ships with Mac OS X doesn't do what they developers need right out of the box, and it took a lot of cajoling to get it to comply. If it's anything like the acrobatics I must perform each weekday morning to get my kids out the door in time to catch the school bus, Google's Mac devs will be busy indeed.

get back in the game and rethink ur programming
Interesting commentary, but scary that this guy's a developer and never heard of a FireWire 400 to 800 adapter -- see his most recent post.....
Oh well I am not all that impressed with Chrome anyways..

I've ditched firefox on my PC and i'd love a super fast browser on my mac.
I predict they have an public alpha build available within 3 months.
