14 Jun 08 Microsoft Office Live doesn't support Google Chrome Browser, a scandalous conspiracy by Microsoft?

I found this tip that Microsoft’s (MSFT) Office Live doesn’t work in Google’s (GOOG) Chrome browser and for me that was kinda hard to believe as I know OfficeLive only uses Javascript and AJAX to run its site.

Anyways, I tried it myself and above is what I get with Homer Simpson saying, “Dope!”.  (You need to sign in to get the error meesage btw.)

I think this is either Microsoft never intended for another browser to come into the market OR they hate Google and they will do anything they can to stop Chromers.

Well, Microsoft should fix it real soon if they get this message but otherwise, Chromers will have to stay away from Microsoft’s products and rely on Google Docs and GMail instead.  (Well Google can always make IE not work in Google…. that would really make people stop using IE… what a brilliant marketing strategy although very cruel.)

Chromers, fight back and blog about this! :p Tags:ajax, btw, Chrome Rumors, conspiracy, docs, dope, goog, homer simpson, marketing strategy, microsoft, microsoft office, msft

12 Jun 08 Firefox 3.1 and IE8 adding Google Chrome's Incognito Stealth Mode!

Google Chrome might lack in terms of experience in comparison to Mozilla Firefox 3.1 and Microsoft’s IE8 but it turns out Firefox and IE will be implementing Chrome’s incognito stealth mode.

The incognito steath mode in Google Chrome browser (Ctrl+Shift+N in Google Chrome opens a new “incognito window”) allows users to surf the web anonymously, the browser skipping caching, saving passwords, and other important information that might possibly harm the user.  (Of course, for you porno freaks, this is a perfect way to “hide” your traces.)

It’s a simply concept but Google’s Chrome browser has included as a standard option.  It’s not surprising that Firefox 3.1 and IE8 will have the same feature as it’s not too complicated to implement other than “not storing any of users’ data”.

September 11, 2008 (Computerworld) Mozilla Corp. will respond to rivals Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp. with a private-browsing mode in Firefox, according to notes posted on its Web site, and is on track to deliver one in 3.1, the version that will likely go beta next month.
