Chrome for Linux is out!
This is one of those days when I can see the good in Google. Sure it's a big corporation, but it's great to see there's still some honest goodness, to see they haven't forgotten their roots. This is a day Google makes a lot of geeks happy by finally releasing Chrome for Linux! Sure it's only a beta, but it's been long enough and it's finally out! Here's the official mail I got from GOOG:
Hello everybody out there using Linux -

That's pretty cool stuff, and the link to the release, which in of itself is geek-hip, contains a xkcd-style comic which is thoroughly enjoyable! So grab it while it's hot!
