Chrome being polished for Mac and Linux
Google has revealed that it is "actively working" on bringing its Chrome browser to Mac OS X and Linux operating systems.
Writing on its Mac development blog, the company acknowledges that the browser was developed with a Windows focus, but claims that Mac and Linux engineers joined the team early in the process.
"Once the design started to settle down, we started adding Mac and Linux engineers to the team, and they started getting the ball rolling on those platforms," says software engineer Amanda Walker. "Since they are, in many respects, more similar to each other than either is to Windows, we've ended up being able to share code between them, which has sped up development a bit."

Update to Chrome's terms of service
googleblog.blogspot: Whenever we release a product in beta as we just did with Google Chrome, we can always count on our users to come up with ways to improve it. This week's example: several eagle-eyed users and bloggers have expressed concern that Section 11 of Google Chrome's terms of service attempts to give us rights to any user-generated content "submitted, posted or displayed on or through" the browser.
We're sorry we overlooked this, but we've fixed it now, and you can read the updated Google Chrome terms of service. If you're into the fine print, here's the revised text of Section 11:
11. Content license from you
11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.
And that's all. Period. End of section.
