Ok, changing the subject about Google Chrome:
I am webmaster of a site that offers download & playing of music for
those who want to hear it.
I have tested the web site on all major browsers, but only Chrome fails
to open the music for playing. I sent a complaint to Google about this
when it first came out as a beta, but so far no change from them.
The website is at http://riversidesax.info/ Go to "Listen" page to try it.
Any suggestions?

"Google's just released Chrome add-in for Internet Explorer can speed up IE
by as much as 10 times, tests show. But if you listen to Microsoft, it also
leaves you more vulnerable to malware and Web-based attacks. Who should you
believe?"
This is a variation on Google trying to take over and reengineer the iPhone
with GoogleVoice, except this time it is going after M$. My first reaction
is holy cow, are M$ programmers such jerks that Google can so easily speed
up IE by ten fold. Then I wonder if our WFBs will so vigorously defend
Google now that the shoe is on the other foot.
Apparently google's programmers were frustrated by IE's lack of HTML 5 that
they wrote the chrome plugin as a work around the backward nature of IE.
This was to allow a new google beta release to work in IE. My guess is
part of the speed up is them by passing IE's security filters.
