Chrome is a healthy mishmash of open source projects

So everybody’s talking about Chrome and how fast it is, and Google is talking about keeping it open and all that. Well, just how open is the sucker? How about super open. This savvy gentleman took Chrome apart and found evidence of 25 open source project libraries being used in its code. They really did take a bite out of everybody. And I bet they’re taking bits from OpenMoko and the LiMo group for Android-Chrome.

Check it out and see if you’ve got some code in there. There’s a pretty good chance, like 25 in 8,000,000,000.

  • excuse my french, but what the fuck! who gives a 2 cent piece for a-hole crome? intel is a bit faster there, honcho.

    what get’s me real sick though is bizmodo, and it’s crew of eccentrics with their slavering over an actual Logo:

    Though it’s in no way official, I happen to enjoy Google Blogoscoped’s analysis of the Google Chrome logo and agree with the influences listed. In addition to the hodge podge of handheld Simons, Pokeballs, Firefox, webcams and Google logos, Neatorama also throws in the Sal-9000 eye from 2010 for good measure. It also kinda looks like that robot lamp from yesterday (obviously, they’re not remotely related). Anything else this reminds you of? [Google Blogoscoped via Neatorama]

    Yeah, Vomit.

    I created Google’s true Logo just about 2 days ago. You wouldn’t believe how much they paid me for getting it right! I think that maybe Google should stick to the Search engine game, and leave the ‘coding’ to Bill, IBM and the other crews.

    That ‘logo’ looks like something some kid put together with his playdoo set. Comon!

    here is that new google logo:
