That’s right, if your like me you’ve been waiting for the OS X version of Google Chrome, I currently use Chrome at work because I’m forced into a windows environment there, (yuck!) but at home I still rock Flock.

well While its not Google Chrome its inspired by it and even sports Multi-processes which is what I love about Chrome in the first place. Introducing Stainless. While I’m not about to go replace Flock with Stainless. Its something you might want to check out.

 

heres what Mesa Dynamics says about there latest creation:

First, a disclaimer: At this point, Stainless is really just a technology demo and is likely to stay that way (though we might add some novel ideas we have for bookmark, history and download management).

So, why did we create yet-another-WebKit-browser? Because building a multi-process browser for OS X was a cool way to leverage the multi-processing technology we developed for one of our products, Hypercube.

Judging from Chromium’s OS X Detailed Status page, the Mac version of Chrome will use a WebCore-rendered bitmap to pass between the browser and rendering processes. The strategy we use in Hypercube (and now Stainless) is far less ambitious, but a whole lot easier to do and, thus, available today for your downloading pleasure (for Leopard only, sorry).

Check it out and download the App over at http://www.stainlessapp.com/

If you have a iPhone you probably have Shazam, and if you dont, you should download it right now (link).

Never heard of Shazam? Ever be out and about and hear a song that you want but have no clue what the song is titled? fire up Shazam and let the App listen to the song.  Afterwords it will uload the clip to the Shazam servers, and attempt to identify the song. In my experences the App has a very high suceess rate.

Shazam will identify the Artist, Song, And album, as well as links to purchase the song on iTunes and links the the Music Videos assuming it can locate the song on YouTube.com

Did I mentione the best part? its Free! thats right a free app, so please give it a shot and let us know what you think.

Has anyone else heard of the next Ace apple has up there sleeves? Apparently it carries the code name “The Brick” could it be a new portable handheld mac? Perhaps a replacement for the apple TV I’ve been reading from various sources about some Apple resellers packing up AppleTV advertizements.

What are your thoughts on the matter? whatever it is its rummered apple will be making some kind of announcement come the 30th, Can’t wait to see what new toys Apple has in store for us.
