While that does seem far-reaching, really, it just covers all the things that go into showing something on the web- you can't stop Google, or anyone else, from displaying it, they can translate it, it might not show up the same way on all browsers, and they're sure not going to pay you every time your page shows up.
This license is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the Services
This pretty effectively limits their ability to do anything else to it.
You confirm and warrant to Google that you have all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the above license.
They have to be able to rely on your representation that you have the right to post whatever you post.
Nothing scandalous here. Move along.

maybe we should merge this with the EZPass thread...
This thing still kicks ass as far as speed is concerned...

A hardy endorsement of Chrome in today's NY Times editorial.
"A Bright and Shiny Browser
Google has never shied away from a computing challenge. Searching the Web is synonymous with Google. For many people, E-mail is synonymous with Gmail. In fact, that is one of the things that makes Google worrisome when it comes to guaranteeing security and protecting privacy.
Now, Google is taking on the very foundation of its own existence — the Web browser. On Tuesday, it released a beta version of its new browser, Chrome, a word that programmers use to describe the frame of a browser window.
It’s tempting to think of Chrome in strictly competitive terms, as a challenge to Internet Explorer, the dominant browser from Microsoft. But that is too narrow a take. Google is in the business of distributing advertising to billboards (the browser on your computer screen), and with Chrome it is trying to build a better billboard.
From a technological standpoint, it is a browser that uses fewer of your computer’s resources, is less likely to break down in use and is constructed to a shared, compatible standard. Google says it will offer its innovations in Chrome to other developers without proprietary restrictions. And why not? Anything that is good for the speed, dependability and stability of browsers has to be good for Google (and incidentally for ordinary users).
We would try to explain how Chrome differs from Explorer and other browsers like Firefox, and Apple’s Safari. But Google has already done it with a comic book drawn by Scott McCloud and called “Google Chrome: Behind the Open Source Browser Project.” It says a lot about how browsers work, some of it in language and pictures you can understand. When it deviates too far into geek-speak, focus on the words in capital letters.
If Chrome manages to do its job as well as this comic book does, then the browser world is in for a shake-up. If all instructional and technical manuals were written as well as this Web comic, the electronic world would be a more intelligible place."

A Google legal representative has followed up that the Terms of Service for Chrome are actually wrong, all that stuff about posting applies to the Google Services like Picasa, and a modified, retroactive version is being written.

That was actually "Destroyer" by The Kinks. Not quite what I'd think of as "metal".
"Destroyer" was a follow-up to an earlier Kinks hit, "Lola"-the story of a guy who picks up Lola, only to find out that she is actually a he......

Let me know when Google ads an ad block extension to Chrome and then I will have a look. Something tells me that isn't going to happen any time soon.

I'm now in day 3 of my Chrome vs. my regular IE test. I'm running Chrome at my office and IE at home.
Frankly to be honest with you, for what I use them for, basic browsing/surfing and not a ton of extra features, with the exception of a couple of slightly different appearing icons on my start up screen/tool bar I'm really not noticing any difference both interms of function and speed.

Interested in how programmable/customizable it is. I'd like to try to replace Crazybrowser but 2 things are imperative
1) Groups
2) Customizable keyboard shortcuts

I heard an interesting editorial commentary on the radio this morning about Google and how and what they do with their websearch info...(ie. privacy right infringement?) in attempting to target ads etc. The person was hesitant without first knowing what info and how it makes it way back to Google with regard to what info you're accessing while using Chrome....
Query?

I'm not sure how chrome can be used, but google is already getting quite a bit of information regardless of your browser. Do a search on "google-analytics" (which this site, like nearly all sites on teh interwebs, uses BTW). Good or bad: you decide.
