Is Google ogling a browser?
If the rumors-- some now reaching fever pitch-- are to be trusted, Google is cooking up a whole slew of products and technologies that could unseat Microsoft.
The latest Blog and tech news chatter speculates that Google is working on a Web browser. Various reports circling the Internet point to the recently purchased 'gbrowser.com' domain name, a patent application, and new hires with expertise in browser technology and Internet Explorer. Google also hosted the open-source Web browser event Mozilla Developer Day.
Aside from the Web browser segment, other tech projects possibly being whipped up in Google's kitchen include a desktop search offering to take on Microsoft's forthcoming OS-level search efforts. Other less publicized whispers are a Google-flavored instant messaging system and even a full-fledged operating system.
Bill Gates may rest safely atop the Forbes richest 400 list for now, but he --and the rest of Redmond--should fear Google.
