Dell has jumped on the netbook bandwagon and offers the new Insipron Mini.

I was in Little Korea the other day going to the Korean supermarket they have in the area. Across the street from the PAT Central Market is Korea House. It caught my eye because of it’s unique address - 666 Bloor St. Always daring, I went inside to check out the food.

Typical of small mom & pop asian restaurants downtown, it’s small and the furnishings are very simple. It was a gorgeous day outside and I lucked out with a seat at the window. I ordered the Bibimbap, a rice dish served in a hot earthen bowl. It’s topped with beef, vegetables and an egg. I find it’s one of the most hearty dishes around - perfect for a winter dinner (however, it was the middle of the summer).

The meal was good and inexpensive, an excellent value. I recommend the place but it’s small and a bit of a hole-in-the-wall. People used to eating at Swatow downtown would feel right at home.

The new browser is available directly from Google.

A list of features is in my previous post about this browser.

This weekend, a tribute to Colin McRae was made by a large group of Subaru enthusiasts in the UK. A 30 mile parade of Subaru’s led by McRae’s father driving his original 1996 Subaru Impreza Rally car snaked their way to Warwick. There, they formed his name out of Subarus. The parade and name broke two world records.

Hard to believe that Google is out to make their own browser, however it was announced today. Google Chrome features some evolutionary features, but nothing revolutionary:

• Will include Google Gears
• Javascript VM called V8
• Tabbed browsing
• Super address bar
• Porn mode

I’m not sure what it’s purpose is, Firefox still hasn’t penetrated the market over 20% and Safari dominates the Mac (and iPhone) market. My only thinking is that chrome is probably the browser being made for Android and being reused for PC’s.

Perhaps this is a strategy by Google to get more usage out of Google Gears. It’s not really that popular and I don’t see any major websites using any of it’s features. They’ll probably launch the browser and “Gear” up their own apps (Google, GMail, Google Apps) and get people “hooked” on Chrome and Gears.
