Silicone Valley Insider:

Google's Chrome Market Share Going Nowhere Fast

The success of Google's (GOOG) Chrome browser will be measured in years, not days. But a week after Google unveiled its new browser, it's losing market share -- not gaining it.

Chrome still has a respectable 0.7% to 1% of the browser market, depending on the time of day, according to tracking service Net Applications. But that's down from last week, when its share ranged from 1% to 1.7%, depending on the time of day.

I'm of the school of, if it ain't broke, leave it the hell alone!

Michael moved my computer the other night, and yesterday when I turned it back on, the keyboard wasn't working properly. Came close to throwing it out the back door, but decided to get the old PB keyboard. Plugged it in, didn't work (would have been helpful if I knew you had to restart your computer ::)) so plugged this one back in, and it works fine.  :dunno:
