Google Chrome is the Web giant’s take on Web browser software. It is designed to work "invisibly" and will run any application that runs on Apple’s Safari Web browser. Google rolled out a beta last week and testing is on. Chrome is Google’s long-anticipated head-on attack on Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. But many industry insiders say it is actually an attack on Microsoft’s Windows OS; Fresh off their online Olympics success, NBC, is headed into football season with Web viewers in mind. NBC’s primetime Sunday Night Football will stream live on the web over Adobe Flash. The first game was actually Thursday night, for NBC’s coverage of the NFL season opener. The New York Giants beat the Redskins, 16-7. Dubbed Sunday Night Football Extra, the streaming video will be coupled with interactive extras such as alternative camera angles, picture-in-picture, in-game highlights, live statistics, and interactivity with John madden and the broadcasters in the booth. Flash is a departure for NBC which used Microsoft Silverlight to stream video coverage of the 2008 summer Olympics on NBCOlympics.com.
