Google Chrome released for Mac

Filed under: Software, Internet, Internet Tools

Google has released an official developer preview of Google Chrome for the Mac. Rather than digging through nightly development builds, you can download the developer preview of the WebKit-based browser at Google’s official webpage.

Chrome sports several features similar to Safari 4 in Snow Leopard, such as sandboxing – each tab runs as its own process, so if one crashes, it doesn’t bring down the whole browser. It also sports the “tabs on top” interface present in some builds of the Safari 4 beta released earlier this year. Some people hated tabs on top in Safari, but others eventually got used to it and even missed the feature when it was omitted from the final release of Safari 4; if tabs on top is your thing, then Chrome has you covered.

Chrome supports importing bookmarks, settings, and history from whatever browser you’re currently using, so if you’re curious to see how it runs on a Mac, go ahead and give it a try. Let us know in the comments if you run into any issues.

Shure Brings Sound-Isolating SE115M+ Headset to The iPhone

Audio gear maker Shure has introduced its new SE115m+ Sound Isolating Headset with Remote + Microphone…which is basically a fancy way of saying its made a version of its well-regarded SE115 headset for the Apple iPhone. The SE115m+ combines the sound isolation technology and high audio quality of the SE115s with a three-button remote and a microphone so the unit can be used with the iPhone 3GS and current Apple iPods.

“Since the iPhone was introduced two years ago, Shure has been committed to building accessories that enhance the smartphone experience,” said Shure’s director of global product management Scott Sullivan, in a statement. “The SE115m+ blends functionality, performance, and convenience with Shure’s standard for professional audio quality and durability.”

The SE115m+ features an in-ear-canal design that blocks external noise by forming a seal on the ear; the headset also includes Shure’s Dynamic MicroSpeaker II for detailed sound quality and enhanced bass response. For use with the iPhone or iPod, the SE115m+ also come with an inline microphone and a three-button remote for controlling volume and playback without requiring users fish their Apple device out of a pocket or bag.

The SE115m+ headset will be available later this month for $119.99 at Apple retail stores and Apple’s Web site; in early 2010 it’ll be available through other Shure retailers. The headset ships with a carrying pouch and interchangable earpieces for a proper fit.

Data Rich Internet Needs Context, New Modes of Consumption & Serendipity

Jeff Veen & Doug Bowman (L to R)

Our bandwidth and speeds at which we access the web are growing by five fold over the next few years thanks to advances in wired and wireless technology. Not only are we connecting faster, but we’re also doing it from more places thanks to mobile broadband. These two things combined are creating a rush of data that will be generated and consumed. At a GigaOM Bunker Series event held today in San Francisco, a group of technologists explored how the next generation of the web will use location, sensors built into devices such as our mobile phones, and other context clues to “give the Internet a body.”

In the future, metadata will available on our mobile phones and it will provide computers with contextual information around data that developers create, according to Marc Davis, partner at Invention Arts and former chief scientist of Yahoo Mobile. By bridging together pieces of information, particularly geolocation data, temporal information ( when something is created) and other contextual information Davis called the “who, what, when and where” clues, we’ll be able to help machines filter through data in ways that are more relevant for us. (Related post: Why Location awareness will make the web more useful.)

But in order help people feel comfortable sharing these four Ws about themselves — including where they are at a given moment — developers will have to address privacy issues, Yahoo’s FireEagle creator Tom Coates said. However, the cautious pace of making use of all of these data (in part because of worries about privacy implications) was derided by investor Dave McClure who pleaded with the big players like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft to gather his data and make useful applications with it.

Twitter was the star of a large chunk of the event, thanks to well known designer Doug Bowman who argued on behalf of his company and talked about creating a truly open, real-time site that offers up its metadata to all developers. So does Twitter, a company with less than 100 employees, feel threatened by developers building new features around its product? No, according to Bowman, who said that the company believes developers’ new ideas on how to enhance the Tw…

New Macs, something else tomorrow?

Filed under: Desktops, Hardware, Odds and ends, iMac

Engadget is the latest to report a rumor that’s been circulating for months: tomorrow may be the day that we finally see those new Macs we’ve been waiting on. John Gruber claims we’re going to see new MacBooks and iMacs (which we’ll rate as “expected”), updated Mac minis (wouldn’t be a huge surprise, though we haven’t heard that so much about that one, particularly not a mini bundled with Mac OS X Server — a very nice idea, though), and something called a “Magic Mouse,” as well as a multitouch trackpad accessory. I have to admit: those last two sound less likely than the iPod touch camera — while the new MacBooks and iMacs definitely wouldn’t be out of place before a holiday season, breaking out brand new accessories without an event to back them up isn’t really Apple’s style.

But then again, ours is not to judge: the rumors say new mice and some sort of multitouch trackpad, so that’s what we’re passing on to you. Believe it or not, as you will. We’ll of course be up and refreshing Apple’s store constantly here at TUAW — if anything new shows up there, you’ll see it here ASAP.
