It’s obviously full of bugs and missing features, but if you are dying to trying it on your Mac (yes, like me) you can download the latest snapshot build from the chromium project server.
The project is under active development, as shown by the fact the I have downloaded it yesterday evening, and at the time of writing I am almost 40 builds behind…
Have fun!

Good stuff guys! http://www.xterm.it/blog/2009/05/the-yahoo-hack-day-is-gone-good-stuff-guys/ http://www.xterm.it/blog/2009/05/the-yahoo-hack-day-is-gone-good-stuff-guys/#comments Tue, 12 May 2009 21:38:21 +0000 admin http://www.xterm.it/blog/?p=116 I went to the Yahoo! Open Hack day London last Saturday. I waited for quite a long time this event, and I’m pleased to say that all my expectations were fully met. A big number of Yahoo enthusiasts (and a guy with a Google T-shirt) arrived at the Congress Center early in the morning for a 24h session of hacking and fun events.
I was very happy to meet my ex Yahoo colleagues, seeing that they’re doing great even during hard times for the company.
I enjoyed mostly the talks about geo technologies and yql. I got so many ideas to implement in my iphone application:)
In particular YQL is a very interesting technology that allows an application to query a number of Yahoo and external databases by means of restful requests.
