  • Google Apps Premier Edition is a collection of office tools for businesses -- word processor, spreadsheet, e-mail, calendar and web page creator -- all of which are accessible through a web browser. Pricing is set at $50 per user per year, less expensive than Microsoft Office but with much the same functionality. Microsoft has its own web-based suite of tools in Office Live, but the company's offering doesn't match Google's. And Google isn't going after Office Live, it's going after Office.

The free browser, called "Chrome," is supposed to be available for downloading Tuesday in more than 100 countries for computers running on Microsoft's Windows operating system.

    "Nejnovější experiment od Googlu, který opět má pomoci s propagací prohlížeče Chrome, má potenciál zabavit vás na delší dobu než všechny předchozí dohromady. Nelze se divit, vždyť Lego nás už v dětství bavilo dlouhé hodiny, kdy jsme se od kostek nedokázali odtrhnout. Populární stavebnice si našla cestu na web. Jedná se rovněž o propagační materiál pro nadcházející film The Lego Movie. Dost bylo zbytečného řečnění, raději do adresního řádku zadejte www.buildwithchrome.com a začněte stavět."
