Labor Day News Leak Google Chrome

Today, Google (NASDAQ GOOG) has confirmed it will be launching its own web browser, dubbed Chrome. Its a high-tech news story that parallels the impact and timing of the HP/Compaq merger, first leaked over Labor Day weekend 2001 and then confirmed shortly thereafter (though HPs leak didnt arrive via a comic book!).

The eight-page comic book doesnt mention printing, but when the browser becomes available as a download Ill give it a spin and report in on Google Chrome Printing. This new-browser announcement is garnering a great deal of media attention, especially with its positioning vis a vis Microsofts (NASDAQ MSFT) Internet Explorer. Of course regular readers will recognize browser and Web-related printing to be one of my favorite topics (see "A Big Day for Internet Printing", for example) and IE has been quite innovative in meeting users printing needs. So it will be interesting to see if Chrome matches up in this area!
