Google Stuff

Google has been pretty busy this week:

• Google Chrome Beta was released. I've played with it a bit, but without mouse gestures I just couldn't commit to it. Ars Technica has a review, which is better than anything I can write. My one thought for the browser, which I haven't yet seen voiced, is the connection between Google and Microsoft, and Chrome and MSN Explorer.

• Picasa got a face detector, and I tagged all the faces it could find. It was a nice distraction from whatever I was doing. The most amusing thing, however, is shown in the following picture:

  

I therefore conclude that Google's face recognition software is really quite good :D
