Google is working on their own browser

"Based on the half-dozen hires in recent weeks, Google appears to be planning to launch its own Web browser and other software products to challenge Microsoft."

It's good to see that Google is actually investing in themselves sine the IPO many companies get stagnant after that but "viva la google"...

wdsguy 09-21-2004 12:11 AM

well thats gonna be real interesting

SmokeyTheBear 09-21-2004 12:13 AM

"Stein said Google could ? and probably is ? working on almost everything."

Damn now that's interesting news.

hydro 09-21-2004 12:23 AM

if google decides to release a stable os within the next few years it could just kill microsoft.

sicone 09-21-2004 12:25 AM

1st the internet, then the world... Google will own it all

More Booze 09-21-2004 12:30 AM

Google will probably become the new "microsoft", and then everybody will hate them :tongue:

The concept floundered, but programmers note that Google could easily pick up the ball. Already, its Gmail free e-mail system gives users 100 megabytes of storage space on a remote network ? providing consumers a virtual hard drive.

MS would crush them.

TheMob 09-21-2004 01:17 AM

i wonder if it will really happen..

Plan9 09-21-2004 01:19 AM

Nice, I'm sure it will be a quality product, as is everything else google does. Hopefully better than I.E., especially with the shitty new SP2 that seems to be worse than before.

BruceM 09-21-2004 01:20 AM

Very interesting.

well, actually.. most of the things google does that aren't in their core business aren't so great

dunefield 09-21-2004 01:21 AM

nice... good to see some browser competition...

Lonny 09-21-2004 01:24 AM

It depends, I belive that if any OS would have a chance to beat Microsoft it need to be able to run Windows applications. :2 cents:

Vitasoy 09-21-2004 01:37 AM

I like it, more competition. More options for users.

reynold 09-21-2004 01:39 AM

thatb was a good news for all of us! can't wait!:)

mardigras 09-21-2004 02:33 AM

Yeah, Google will be Microsoft someday... doing many things but none well:1orglaugh

polish_aristocrat 09-21-2004 02:35 AM

Googlebrowser.com already taken :(

Dagwolf 09-21-2004 02:36 AM

I want to be Google when I grow up.

Taboo 09-21-2004 05:47 AM

INSERT TIMELINE PIC HERE...

just kidding. :1orglaugh

But that's not all they're working on:

Google Browser / GBrowser?
http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/showth...hreadid=347199

and they acquired Picasa (image software + Hello.com) and possibly acquiring another desktop search software tool & company. that's all I can say for now. shhh...

wyldblyss 09-21-2004 05:51 AM

Wow! Google seems to have their hand in just about anything. I have a feeling that they might just be able to make their own browser popular. I will be really interested in checking that thing out when the time comes

Shoehorn! 09-21-2004 05:51 AM

Hmm, this should get interesting.

Nysus 09-21-2004 05:55 AM

I bet Google's stock will go up if they manage things properly.

fris 09-21-2004 05:56 AM

ya a friend passed on the news. wonder what it will belike, firebox, plus google interface, popup blocker?

Nicky 09-21-2004 05:57 AM

This could be cool :thumbsup

stocktrader23 09-21-2004 05:59 AM

Google will run the internet soon. The backend that they have is unmatched by anyone. Googles herd of sheep that will do whatever they say is massive.

What's everyone think, that google went public just to improve their search results? :1orglaugh

do you actually know what sheep are ?

people using a product because of its value does not make them sheep

I kinda agree with that statement.

If anything, people followign Microsoft can be called sheep.

Slick 09-21-2004 06:11 AM

Geesh, maybe I should've jumped on some Google stock when it first came out. My money man down at Edward Jones didn't recommend me doing it, so I held off.

zentz 09-21-2004 06:25 AM

sounds interesting

You know as well as I do that google can promote anything and it will be used by the masses. You also know the majority of the population don't read past the first page of anything so they have no idea how much information google stores about their browsing habits etc and their willingness to turn it over to the government on request. Same as ebay.

NinjaSteve 09-21-2004 07:33 AM

If they create a browser, I have a feeling they're going to offer customized home pages... a portal similar to MSN and Yahoo. It's all about keeping your surfers, and it sucks to click all these links or type in URLs instead of just have all the book marks in one place for Google (news, gmail, froogle, answers, etc)

alexg 09-21-2004 07:35 AM

interesting news...

would be interseting to see how their browser is compared to IE
