Google Chrome Speed Test

Wow. OK, I can see it now, so Google marketing execs get together in a big Google meeting room (probably getting there on their segways and sipping a bevy made from one of their many, many free cafes) and start discussing how to promote their web browser - Chrome. Exec #1: "let's do a cool commercial, like they do with cars, and show running cheetahs and supersonic jets and stuff" Exec #1's boss: (narrow eyes. mouth pinched and to the left) "I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that" Exec #2: "I know, Google's got a crap-ton of money, right. And because we're Google, we can pretty much pay anyone any amount of money to develop a really cool ad. So... why don't we put our Chrome browser to the test against, oh, I don't know, a speeding potato launcher, the speed of sound, and... um... the speed of electricity!" Exec #1's boss again: (eye lids perched. Smug look and stare at Exec #1) "pack up your things" Result: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCgQDjiotG0&hd=1] Watch the "how they made it" video here: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oarMXGq3gI&feature=channel]
