    good point. they are probably pretty competitive from a tech perspective (both based on webkit i believe)

    Since Chrome was released, my position has been that Google doesn't need to have the most market share to win. All they need is to continue to push web standards and keep the web open, so that their other products will function well. Safari and others that use WebKit and other Chrome-like technologies will only help in that battle.

    How soon before we see "Apple Search." That's the next step in owning the online OS...

    One thing Apple has a track record of doing is sticking to those markets that are proven, but have significant opportunity for growth through delivering a better product experience. Google has done such a tremendous job that I don't see Apple wanting to take them on in any way. Leveraging partners is usually a less-expensive way to get good features and function.

    Why Chrome Wars and not just browser wars? Chrome has 1% of the market if one is being charitable - and is essentially a non-entity in any web developers mind.

    I think it's more about the browser's chrome, as told by an excellent book on JavaScript by O'Reilly : "The area where scrollbars, toolbars, the status bar, and (non-Macintosh) menu bar live is known as a window’s chrome."
