The oddest viral I’ve seen

I’ve downloaded Chrome, the new browser from Google. Unfortunately it won’t let me ‘add media’ to this post so I can’t show you how it won’t let me install Google toolbar (only for Firefox), or how I can’t install it on my mac, or the pretty comic book they made to tell people about it.

I can link to it though. That’s about it.

I should give them a break as it’s only in beta.

There are so many good things about Xbox. But what they’ve really got right is when stuff goes wrong. If it breaks, they’ll fix it and they’ll help you as best they can. They’re reasonable and friendly. The ‘red ring of doom’ issue could have been a real problem for them but they held their hands up and replaced all the problem consoles free of charge (including mine).

However, this automated IM ‘Ask Xbox’ is wicked smart. And friendly for a robot.

It breaks down when you try and ask it anything unusual. It also doesn’t like tea apparently.
