Well, now, I wouldn't speak too soon. There will undoubtedly be a beta release or a leak which will give malware authors ample time to develop zero-day viruses. And with Windows 8 exploring very different terrain this time around, there's bound to be a plethora of exploits just waiting for someone to coax them out of hiding (or plain sight).

Ok, I see those numbers. I can comprehend them. I understand that Firefox may be technically "faster," but at what cost? I'd like to see a benchmark that measures UI responsiveness. Because, I don't know about you, but I'm OK with sacrificing a few milliseconds of rendering speeds if it means that I get a faster, responsive UI.
As a test, I ran the Kraken javascript benchmark on Chrome 12.0.712.0 with extensions and about 10 tabs open and a clean install of Firefox 4.0 with a single tab open. I was still able to load new tabs and browse to other sites smoothly on Chrome, whereas Firefox began behaving extremely sluggishly. Because of this, Chrome felt like it was going faster even when Firefox completed the benchmark about 100ms faster. Isn't that all that really matters? If I feel like my browser is going faster than another, then I don't care that it's actually going slower, and I doubt that most other users would care either.

Firefox has better memory usage than Chrome? Yes, to an extent.
Firefox has better performance than Chrome? No, absolutely not.

Fact is, memory is cheap these days. I'd be willing to sacrifice an extra 500MB~1GB of memory to have a fast, smooth browsing experience. Chrome gives me that and with out memory leaks. I can keep an extension loaded Chrome open for about a week until I start noticing that it's leaking memory. I can't keep a clean install of Firefox open for more than a day without a memory leak.
Face it people. Firefox is like your grandmother's basement and Chrome is like a beach-side mansion.
Firefox might take up a smaller space, but it's dank and pipes are leaking everywhere.
Chrome is a bit more taxing, but your overall experience is going to be better.

Haha. Well, my demo isn't going to be anything too special. Sure, the songs mean stuff to me, but it's not the overall sound I'm looking for in the long run. It's just something to get some attention and maybe get my name out there so that I may progress further. And referring to the "blank tapes," if I get my way, my band's stance on piracy will be lax. We'd probably even end up releasing a few free albums. In fact, I know how Waters feels about this whole just buying a single song thing. In my opinion, I'd rather someone pirate my whole album instead of buying just one song. They'd get a better experience that way, and that's what artists should want. Make music to make others happy, not to make money :P

I really hope they haven't either. I play music and Pink Floyd is a HUGE influence to me. You just don't see albums like what they produced anymore. I was beginning to think that I was the only one that still saw potential in Pink Floyd's type of music/albums. Now, I'm not saying that I can be the next Pink Floyd; but, after I finish my demo album, and if a record label gives me a chance, I believe I can at least push modern music in the right direction towards GOOD music again.

Chrome processes share memory.

Actually, economically speaking, they are.

I have 1GB of RAM in my netbook as well and I regularly use Chrome with 10+ tabs open without any problem at all.

I was about to tell him to RTFA when I realized that it was actually in the summary. What is the world coming to when slashdotters don't even read the summary, much less RTFA?

Sorry, I misread your comment. I thought you said that Chrome was using all your memory. Chrome actually often does use more memory than Firefox (at least when Firefox isn't doing its memory leak thing it likes to do).

Honestly, in this day an age, if using a little more memory to make your browser run faster is an issue to you, then I can see you running into quite a few more problems down the road... Memory is cheap. Time and aggravation are not. There are plenty of applications that use a TON of memory and DON'T run as fast as they should. Consider yourself fortunate that at least a few people still know how to program in a reasonably efficient manner.

Well, if they can show me a real video of their current progress and it's as good as or better than the faked video, then I shall applaud them. But until then, I will remain skeptical and distrustful of them.

Not only is it cheesy (and INCREDIBLY old news), the video in TFA is a fake. Proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFAK8ubYtZE

Wow. You'd think somebody would've figured out something like this a long time ago.

I was under the impression that it was the government's job to protect our rights. I guess the joke is on me.
