Squawk Box Sept 2 - Google Chrome Conference call organized by Alec Saunders

Agenda
This morning we'll be talking about Chrome... Google Chrome that is. Google let the news about their new browser out yesterday in the form of a comic strip. None of us have seen the browser yet, but the hyperbole is already flying thick.

Read the comic strip my friends, and then we'll talk about Google's unusual launch strategy, mobility strategy, and whether or not this really is a threat to Microsoft as so many folks are saying.

Me, I'm not so sure.
See all
