Google advertisers wanted to push their whole "Chrome is fast" angle and so they set up and filmed a series of "tests" where they trigger some fast real-world event and load a page in Chrome at the same moment. Guess which process finishes first every time? Yeah, OK, that was an easy one. It's hardly "science"--not even the watered-down television kind--but it is, in fact, fairly amusing to watch a potato get blasted through a fry-cutter and into a vat of cooking oil. They also spray paint onto a giant ear model using acoustic waves and zap a tiny pirate ship with a Tesla coil.<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /></div>SpudGunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14905824613409848026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680756279742468068.post-55521184525044254342010-07-13T15:40:00.000-07:002010-07-13T15:43:37.486-07:00Triple barrel potato cannon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7YlTFKOTMSZdKzGLOCh7T5Gle6vOlL9SE8YLJuB_oTrbWtcvcc037KTtZfn2JL9R5IlkjYXgN43IqWxNFwk6HxtIfyfTsMmB6CTTnsRDLmslPUNBc7zu80B4LFNwfHU6eiwxQ9svuFz3S/s1600/make_671.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7YlTFKOTMSZdKzGLOCh7T5Gle6vOlL9SE8YLJuB_oTrbWtcvcc037KTtZfn2JL9R5IlkjYXgN43IqWxNFwk6HxtIfyfTsMmB6CTTnsRDLmslPUNBc7zu80B4LFNwfHU6eiwxQ9svuFz3S/s320/make_671.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493524508949519698" border="0" /></a>Well, this clearly qualifies for artillery of the week.
