We all praise Google. They are the best tech company to date, they're so innovated, everything that they do is so amazing!!! But I have found a hole in the great Google. The older version of Google Chrome does not allow you to use any of GOOGLE'S APPS. If you do not have the newest version of Google Chrome you are not allowed to use anything that isn't just a google search or Google Images. Gmail, Blogger, or Google Maps are all unreachable because of and incorrect certificate for the host. When I try to get on Google Maps in Chrome I receive a pop up message saying "The server presented a certificate that doesn't match built-in expectations. The expectations are included for certain, high security web sited in order to protect you." And then it says the servers certificate appears to be a forgery.
I find this EXTREMELY ironic that Google itself is not allowing it's own services. So obviously the smart move would be to delete Chrome and install the new version which is a hassle. But what if you can't download the new version? My girlfriend's Mac is so old that she is not able to download the newest Chrome because she does not have a new enough Mac OS. The kicker is, her computer does not have the ability to update itself any further. Her computer is stuck at Mac OS X 10.5.8.
So what do you do if you're in this position? You go to a different browser. For the user it is frustrating and funny (the irony). But think about if you're Google. There are people who cannot use your web browser they are going to go somewhere else which is bad for business.
