    Yes, I used it a lot in the earlier versions but now I find it a bit resource hungry compared to Chrome.
    Running Firefox and Chrome side by side and looking at the Task Manager Processes Firefox uses 5x more memory
    FireFox - 192MB, Chrome 38MB

    Sorry for the hi jack, but I think we mentioned google somewhere along the line....hahah

    Thats a massive deference in the 2 footprints...... I think Im gonna take a good look at this.

    That Google Chrome OS sounds ok, I was going to install it on my sever (im running Linux at ATM) But wanted to see how it stood up for a while first.

    Whats it like for security? as good as Linux?

    Yeah, I was a bit surprised that there was that much difference. I knew recent versions of Firefox have been pretty thirsty
    I just did the test again and there is 4x difference int the two. The test is simple where I just open 15 tabs of one web site........

    As far as the OS I don't know much about it but might have to investigate

    I have been using OPERA browser and found it excellent. Only using 55MB in task manager and quicker to load pages.

    this is fantastic technology. i have a HTC protouch2 mobile and it is fantastic for running google maps with the satelitte overlay and cause the HTC can pick up satellites it can tell me where i am within 10 meters if connected to enough sats which i have found to be a bit slow to connect. once connected though it is just awsome, then the little arrow will follow you around and has no trouble keeping up when off road (can be a bit laggish when doing 100kph) great little gadget. the only thing that buggs the heck out of me is that I can not seem to find the option so that it will plot / record where i have been. Otherwise ive had nothing but good experieces with google maps and cant wait for the 3d part to come online!!!

    Just tested out the Newish Google Maps ‘Bushfire’ function:



    There is clearly an incident occurring over the hill and Vic-Emergency app does show it but nothing on McGoogle as yet…..30minutes later too
