Today Google announced Google Chrome, an open source web browser created by Google.
You can download Google Chrome here.
It looks nice so far, it is fast and hopefully it will get as popular and even more popular than Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, these other two are currently the most common web browsers, Firefox being more secure and flexible and Internet explorer that is more … insecure and popular.
A group of Belgian newspapers sued Google and are now asking for 49.2 million euros, around 77.5 million dollars.
Belgian newspapers claims that Google violated copyright laws by reading the publisher’s content and posting it in Google News, caching their content.
Google was sued in 2006 but now in 2008 they still didn’t get to a deal.
Google claims that content in Google News is legal and according to Margaret Boribon (secretary general at Copiepresse), Google failed to accept their claims.
Margaret Boribon said that Belgian publishers are still open to a settlement.

What is Google Sites?
It’s an online application that makes creating a team web site as easy as editing a document. You can quickly gather a variety of information in one place — including videos, calendars, presentations, attachments, and gadgets — and easily share it for viewing or editing with a small group, their entire organization, or the world.
* Anyone can do it — Building a site is as simple as editing a document, and you don’t need anyone’s help to get started.
* Share from one place — Create a single place to bring together all the information your team needs to share, including docs, videos, photos, calendars and attachments.
* Work together — Invite co-workers, classmates, or your entire organization to edit your site with you to keep it fresh and up-to-date. And let as many or few people view your site as you want.
