Google Releases Chrome V2.0 381

RadiusK writes "Google has released the second major version of the Chrome browser. This version features more speed improvements thanks to a newer version of V8 JavaScript engine and WebKit. JavaScript-heavy web pages will now run about 30% faster. Other new features include form autofill, fullscreen mode, and improved New Tab page. If you're already using Google Chrome, you'll be automatically updated with these new features soon. If you haven't downloaded Google Chrome, you can get the latest version at google.com/chrome." A version for Linux or OS X would be nice.

That's because Novel got wrong model, trying to make money on open source. They might be going as a company really soon. But it's completely not true for the rest. Opensource started by students, ie then you don't have money and not willing to pay any. Just imagine: you don't have money. You parents don't have money. $10 can help you to live for week. But you like computers a lot. You would still play with it, "share" commercial software with your friends, write your own or modify other opensource projects. Don't forget that most popular kubuntu came from Africa. How many more examples do you need?

I would suggest Javascript. Surprised? Yes, using this language 11 years old can play with websites and create nifty widgets. I'm sure it'll be fun for him. We have just a simple API on a server side: json, xmlrpc or whatever and it wont' be so much fun to program it.
Just look at this kid and you understand what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mwKq7_JlS8
