A new HP laptop, scheduled for an October release, can allegedly hold a battery charge for 24 hours. HP claims that they have attained this milestone using low drain components like a solid state hard drive and an LED screen, and due to improved battery technologies. This is quite the claim, since even the longest life laptop batteries tend to hover around 6 - 8 hours of usage time. Whether this is true or now, we're lively to find out next month.

Move over MTV. Chrome can no longer be limited to tricked out vehicles with their spinning rims anymore. Google has announced that they will be bogarting the word Chrome by releasing their own web browser by that name. This despite the fact that they are the largest financial backer of the Mozilla Foundation, the makers of the world's No. 2 web browser, Firefox. In fact almost 85% of their revenue last year came from Google. What will this mean for web browsing? Will it be another hit like Firefox, or a miserable failure like Safari for Windows? Will people overlook it as another saturation of the browser industry, and receive it underwhelmingly as they seem to have done with google chat in the instant messenger industry? Time will tell.
