...Chrome looks like a "best of" browser, incorporating - and in some cases, improving upon - a few of the most popular features of its competitors. Like Firefox's "awesome bar," Chrome's search blank keeps track of keywords in a user's previous visit, allowing one to type in, say, "baseball" and pull up any Web pages he'd visited recently that pertain to that sport. Also like Firefox, Chrome supports tabs as a way to open and keep track of multiple windows, though Chrome puts the tabs above the search blank rather than below it. There's also a privacy...

...distinguished himself in Washington. His most recent and most impressive such coup was the quick passage of a massive housing bill in late July over the objections of many Republican lawmakers and even some White House aides. The legislation gave Paulson something unprecedented and very expansive: a blank check from Congress that he and whoever succeeds him at Treasury can use until the end of 2009 to bail out or take over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the troubled government-created firms that at the moment are funding the vast majority of mortgage loans being made...
