Google Chrome OS – Operating System
Google has been working on this for quite sometime now , and I was priveledged enough to Beta-Test this wonderful OS .
ANd I have to say , this is going to be the wave of the future . This operating system is not really an operating system . Google has created this mainly for those that use the internet on a day to day basis ( netbook users , people that run business via the web . ) This will in no way replace your current computer , but it is nice to know that as soon as you turn on your computer you can surf the net instantly … Anyways , here is a clip from google explaining in depth about what The Chrome OS and what it will do …
Why Does My Website Look Different in Another Browser ?
Why does my website look different on different browsers?
Having a website look the same on different browsers is no easy feat. It is a battle that has existed since the early days of the internet. The reason is simple – the visualization of a website depends on many different variables such as:
- The visitor's OS (operating system)
- The visitor's display resolution
- How the browser interprets the page
1. The visitor's OS
If your website uses submit buttons, radio buttons, check boxes and edit fields, all of them will be visualized depending on the visitor's OS and its style. For example, a submit button can look like a gray rectangle on your Windows Classic theme, and like an oval if you use the XP style. As a workaround, you can create custom buttons for your website.
The code of an ordinary submit button looks like this:
<input type = "submit">
You can replace it with the following code in order to specify the submit button image:
<button type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"><img src="submitimg.gif"/>Submit</button>
Similar changes can be made for the other parts of your website's interface. Consulting a professional web designer or searching the Internet will be necessary to solve all of the possible issues.
2. Visitor's display resolution
Display resolution is affecting quite a lot the way a website is displayed. For example, if you create your pages at 1024×768 they will not fit into the screen of a visitor that has set his/her resolution to 800×600.
In order to fix this, you should not use static dimensions for your website, i.e. instead of setting width = 1024px you can use width = 100%. This will not fix all issues but at least will make the page fit into the screen.
3. How the browser interprets the page
Web browsers do not render pages pixel by pixel. They read the entire code and produce an output depending on your code. There are, however, differences in the code interpretation. Therefore you should check the way your website looks on different browsers and operating systems. As a web designer , I check all of my work out on the most widely used browsers .
- Internet Explorer
- Mozilla Firefox
- Opera
- Safari
- And the baby of the bunch , Google Chrome.

Unfortunately, there is no easy solution for that. You should check the specificities of each browser that fails to display your website correctly and make the necessary adjustments to your code.
In conclusion, you should test your websites on as many different browsers and operating systems as possible. If you spot any errors, you should try searching the Internet for a specific solution for the issue.
Google Creating a New ISP ?
But what do we need faster connections for ???
* New deployment techniques: We’ll test new ways to build fiber networks, and to help inform and support deployments elsewhere, we’ll share key lessons learned with the world.
* Openness and choice: We’ll operate an “open access” network, giving users the choice of multiple service providers. And consistent with ourpast advocacy, we’ll manage our network in an open, non-discriminatory and transparent way.
Google Chrome : Weak Browsing , Cute Name
So , my girls computer crashed on her for like the 5th time yesterday , and I narrowed the problem down to her baby…. Google Chrome. I tried it out myself when it was still in Beta testing and I was very impressed that google was developing a browser meant specifically for faster page loads and easier surfing ( only on google pages of course ) but still the idea was genius… Almost a year later , the browser still has the look and feel of something that has not yet finshed beta testing. It's smooth and sleek design fall short of all of the crashin and compupter errors that it has given …. I have always been partial to Firefox becasue it comes bundled in a small 8mb package and does exactly what it needs to do . Of course Internet Explorer is the standard for all ,but we need change …. Google if you hearing me , hurry up and drop the android OS , and then maybe that may give me a change of heart ,lol.. So anyways , I uninstalled google chrome and then installed Opera ( its got some nifty features , but I wont get into that now ) , then we tried safari ( boooo mac ) … And after all of that , she went ahead and reinstalled google chrome ( hits head against desk ) …
