By Nat TorkingtonMay 23, 2012 Tale of Two Pwnies (Chromium Blog) -- So, how does one get full remote code execution in Chrome? In the case of Pinkie Pie’s exploit, it took a chain of six different bugs in order to successfully break out of the Chrome sandbox.

By James TurnerMarch 22, 2012 While we wait to sign up for two of the major conferences of the year, Google has released a brainteaser, Java suffers another security breach, and a new language prepares for takeoff. Developer Week in Review: Flash marginalization continues
By James TurnerFebruary 23, 2012 If you use Linux, either start using Chrome as your browser or get ready to give up Flash. A developer faces execution in Iran because of how someone used software he wrote, and the world gets to see what it's like to build iPads and iPhones. Four short links: 19 January 2012

By RJ OwenJanuary 14, 2011 Yesterday Google announced that future versions of its Chrome browser would not support the H.264 video codec. This codec is seen by many as the only viable alternative to Flash, and support for it in browsers as the default implementation for the <video> tag was thought to be the future of the web. Google's decision to drop H.264 in favor of WebM yesterday has left many feeling upset, decrying the decision as bad for the open web and a sign that Flash Player will not actually die in the near future, but live on. Yet Google's decision is ultimately unimportant to the open web. There is one simple reason for this: Firefox doesn't support H.264 either. Perspectives on Google Chromium OS
By Andrew TriceDecember 13, 2010 Here on insideria.com, you'll see lots of information regarding trends of web development - perhaps it's related to AJAX, perhaps it's a topic on Flex/Flash, or perhaps it pertains to mobile. All topics point to the "rich internet application" technologies and their practice and implementation in our daily lives. Last week, Google started distributing development laptops featuring the new Chromium operating system, which has the potential to be a stark change in how we interact with our applications, and how we think of the internet.

By Andrew TriceSeptember 25, 2009 In an interesting move, Tuesday, Google released the "Chrome Frame", a plug-in that will allow you to run Google Chrome inside of Internet Explorer. This allows you to take advantage of HTML5 elements (including Canvas), and the V8 JavaScript engine. Google Releases Chrome Experiments
By Andrew TriceMarch 19, 2009 Google recently released http://www.chromeexperiments.com/. It's a collection of Javascript-based experiments designed to show off the speed of the Google Chrome browser. Turbo-charging JavaScript - Trace Trees and V8 
By Kurt CagleSeptember 21, 2008 Persistence, performance, rich APIs and increasing broadband connectivity are all likely to make a huge difference for this latest generation of browsers, and the quantum improvement of JavaScript capabilities due to Trace Trees and precompiled JavaScript will likely play a major part in that evolution. Simplifying your Firefox life with ChromeBy Martin KelleySeptember 9, 2008 The big secret about the Google Chrome browser is that it's faster in some tests, slower than other. But guess what? As I wrote in my first review, few of us are going to notice any difference. The best part... Microsoft Missing the Boat on Mobile?
By Tim O'ReillySeptember 6, 2008 Yesterday's Microsoft Watch had an incisive article about Microsoft's failure to compete in the mobile phone marketplace. Echoing my own assertions that Microsoft's obsessive focus on competition with Google in search is a massive distraction, while open mobile is Google's most strategic initiative, Joe Wilcox notes: Microsoft must change its priorities. The company has wasted too much time chasing... Linux Status Page for Chromium
By M. David PetersonSeptember 4, 2008 For those of you (such as myself) who have interest in Chromium (The foundation of which Google Chrome is build upon) running on Linux, Seo Sanghyeon has created a status page over on the Google Groups Chromium-Dev site. http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev/web/linux-status... Google Chrome: The Comic
By RJ OwenSeptember 3, 2008 Google chose to launch its Chrome browser with a comic book about the browser, among other things. In this entry I talk about the book itself, its value as a piece of information design, and a little about the book's author, renown comic book artist Scott McCloud. Reflecting Upon Chrome
By Kurt CagleSeptember 3, 2008 Scott McCloud may not have intended to become the icon for Google's most recent efforts, but the choice of the veteran cartoonist (and semiotician) was a master stroke on the part of Google for introducing their new web browser, Chrome. McCloud's spare, clean lines, intellectual positing and delicious manipulation of symbols could not better have captured Google's secret skunkworks project. McCloud was commissioned to create a series of web comic pages that would explain the inner workings of the new Google Chrome browser, intended for release later this month, but a fan of McCloud's work apparently leaked the comic early, forcing Google to announce their latest (and arguably most audacious) project to date. As it turns out, the extra month or so of work probably wouldn't have made that much difference - even in beta, it is likely that Chrome has completely changed the balance of power on the web. Rumors that Google has been working on a web browser have been repeatedly heard for years now, but the assumption has long been that Google's physical proximity to Mozilla's headquarters and its general commitment to server-side technology precluded any real benefit for Google in building a browser of its own. Those assumptions, however, appear now to have been wrong. Google Enters The Browser Market

By Harold DavisJune 21, 2008 The Lithographers Club of Chicago is a printing industry trade group. They selected an image of mine to use for the cover of their May/June 2008 magazine issue (the cover is shown below). Printing was contributed by Komori (they are a large manufacturer of printing presses) and demonstrates the Hexachrome process-color system.
