For all you Google junkies out there, the day has finally come. Google has just launched Chrome for the Mac users. So what does this mean? We’ll, it’s still offically in Beta right now, but it’s worth downloading, and giving a shot.

For the most part, I stayed away from using Google Chrome as my main browser, and only using it when testing sites. But lately, that trend has been changing. Now that I can install Google Chrome on Leopard, will I use it as my default browser? Only time will tell.

One thing that I’ve learned while both blogging, and setting up forums, is that having a reliable and fast Shared Hosting Provider is absolutely critical. From Godaddy to Network Solutions and 1&1, theirs many shared hosting plans out there for you to look into.

I’ve signed up with many shared website providers out there. All I can say, is stay away from Godaddy and 1&1. Seriously people, while their service may be cheap, let me tell you, their performance is also cheap. I recently signed up for my first VPS Server, but even then, the performance still wasn’t what I have on my current Shared Hosting Provider, Host Gator.

I’m truly amazed by both the performance, reliability, and technical support from the folks at Host Gator. First, the price is extremely cheap, and they offer three levels for their shared website hosting.

Host Gator’s hosting comes in three flavors. Hatching, Baby, and Business. For me, I don’t need the business version, so I’ve signed up for the Baby plan and have had it for over 2 years now, couldn’t be more happier.

With Host Gator, you get Cpanel running on CentOS, one the most reliable Linux Distributions out there.

So, check them out, and if you’re coming from either Godaddy or 1&1 Shared Hosting, get ready to get your socks knocked off folks.

Host Gator - One of the hottest Shared Hosting Website providers out there. Offers Cpanel on all their accounts, and all servers are hosted at The Planet.

Burger King yesterday launched the Beta version of their new BK.com website. From looking at their old Corporate website, it has under gone more than just a face lift, but has entered a whole new era. From a completely new design, to a never before seen navigation panel, that you can customize to your own liking, as well as sliding out when you roll over it.

First, lets see what the original bk.com site still currently looks like.

Burger King Corporate Home PageAs you can see, fairly plain, and not much to look at. Now, the beta.bk.com home page.

Burger King Beta Home PageNext we move onto the customizing of the navigation.

Burger King Beta Home Page CustomizingBurger King Beta Home Page CustomizingOkay, so let’s look at the old Burger King Menu.

And if you want to build a 4 Patty Whopper with 4 slices of cheese, weighing in at 1830 calories, you can do that to!

Really, the best bet is if you check the site out for yourself. It’s not known how long this will be in a beta phase before they switch it out with the current site. Theirs also a feedback form, in the footer of the navigation, if you want to tell BK good job.

Check the site out for yourself.
