Google Chrome BETA Review
Unlike most of you I never even knew Google was working on a browser… well I thought they would but not until they maybe had their own OS like Goobuntu or something.
Anyway, this ia short review of the new browser.
First of all I just want to say how sexy it looks! I will not be switching from firefox but I sure will use the new Shortcut Application feature! This is the gold dust me for as I use most of Googles tools like Gmail and their Reader.
For people who are not sure what this is ill let you know. have you ever liked a tool online that you thought would be a cool thing to use as a program but thought “Ill have to boot up my browser and then I have all the extra userbars that take up all the space” well now you dont have to worry! Just create a shortcut and Google Crome opens the tool/webpage up like a normal windows (Your OS) application! It even gives you a cool Icon if the webpage uses a ico file.
I love it and now have Gmail, Reader, Calender, Google Docs shortcuts on my desktop which load up full screen 
I love it.
It also maximises space! No longer do you have the top bar taking up wasted space. You now use that wasted space with the tabs like in Firefox. It also just has a URL bar and the bare minimum buttons needed for a good browsing experience.
It does lack plugins and sadly has now ad-blocker so if you are used to not seeing adverts with Adblock plus you will miss it here.
Fore a BETA program it really is a smack in the face to IE and FF, but it does lack a lot of features… But then again it might not be a bad thing.
Google has always been about Basic clean design. no big features that slow things down… And Chrome is super fast! It has Google Gears built in which I tested and it works great. It also loads pages in half the time Firefox 3 does… and about 1 month faster than Internet Explorer does.
Without a doubt it will be sending shivers down FireFoxes spine. If they do implement a plugin system and can fix the bugs (It is beta) then I may switch and stop using Firefox… Which I never ever thought id say!
Fingers crossed this does put a nail in Internet Explorers coffin and will one day show the people who think IR is the Internet how stupid they are.

The past few weeks have been very very hard for me. I keep trying to write things down on here but am just finding it so fing hard.
A friend of me committed suicide last week, and I have just found it so hard to cope with. I find it hard because I can understand why he did it… In some ways I am envious of him. He has peace now and will no longer spend every day hurting and living in pain.
I knew he was going to do it… I did try to stop him (Like I do with many people) and even though I tried so hard to talk him out of it, I could really understand why he was like he was.
He has not seen his children for 2 years. He is in Family court every month and is meant to have access to see his own children. He has had a court order to see them every other weekend for over 6 months… But every time he drives to pick them up they are never there.
I have stayed up many times talking to him and sometimes it is like talking to myself. He would give me photos of his daughter and tell me “This is what she looked like the last time I saw her” and then tell me “I don’t even know if I would recognize her anymore” to which I can relate.
He tried so hard to stick to the rules and went through all the right channels. He would wait all month for his time in court only to have his ex not turn up. He would drive the 2hours to go and pick his children up…. Even though he knew they would never be there.
He tried so hard, and now he is dead. I know he killed himself… but it was really the courts, laws, and his ex who killed him. You can only kick a man down so many times…
He told me he was at breaking point and he did not know what he would do. He told me he felt like killing some people and was no longer sure that he could control himself. He was very frustrated with everything and felt powerless. He was a nervous wreck and had lost so much weight that many people never knew who he was anymore.
He would tell me how he found it hard going to public places because he would see families and they would remind him of his own that was taken from him.
His last words: “I only ever wanted to me a good dad. I tried but had it taken away from me. I never did anything wrong apart from trying to keep my marriage alive. Now I will never see my children again. I cant cope anymore”

Proof: Dads Are Equal
This is a LONG read but it is well worth it. If you cant read it all please read just part of it.
Sadly a friend of mind found out this quote a few days ago:
The research, which clearly illustrates how a father biologically responds to the birth of his children, also explains why thousands of men become clinically depressed when separated from their children to the point of actually committing suicide.
By Joel Leyden
Israel News Agency
Jerusalem —-June 3 ..
LINK….
It was not easy writing the above headline. But when Psychology Today, one of the most respected lay journals on clinical psychology releases research illustrating that fathers are empowered biologically no differently than women when it comes to nurturing children, all keywords are needed.
This evidence hits hard at social workers, family court judges and elected legislators who abide by archaic research and outdated laws which state that it is in the best interest of the child to be with the divorced mother - not the divorced father.
“Here is the first hard evidence that men are biologically prepared for fatherhood,” says Psychology Today. “In fact, this is the first evidence that to nurture is part of man’s nature.”
