Google Chrome and my past prediction
Google's announcement of a new browser is not suprising in the least.
It fits directly in line with what I said while at Google-IO 2008.
Google is commodizing the desktop. Everything will be online, and when you're not online, you might as well be with tight gears integration.
Making the browser faster, and more bullet proof will take away (over time) security and performance concerns of web apps a thing of the past.
