A quick programming note, there’s a new name around the site these days. Brad Butner has joined the TechVirtuoso team. I’ve known Brad for over 10 years now, and worked with him at Neowin and on another website before that. He’s currently a developer for a major nationwide ISP, living in Washington state. We look forward to his valuable input.

On another note, I want to apologize for the lack of updates recently. A variety of personal/work issues have kept us all away from regular postings, that should all change next week.

Google releases Chrome 8

Google has released the latest major (stable) version of their Chrome browser to the public, version 8.0.552.215. Along with 800+ bug fixes, Chrome now also includes a PDF viewer built into the browser inside a sandbox. One less reason to install Adobe Reader!

The version 9 (dev) branch of Chrome now also includes Adobe Flash running inside a browser sandbox. It was released on Wednesday and also includes improvements to the GPU acceleration features, and fixes some problems with Google Instant search.

You can download Google Chrome from their servers, or if you want to live on the edge adjust your update settings to get access to the beta or dev channels here.
