In a shocking revelation today, millions of Chrome fanboys across the web have realized that Google has not yet lost interest in their one month old browser. In fact, since the original release, Google has actually released a number of updates.

When Chrome was first released, most analysts believed that the project would be abandoned soon after the fun of creating the comic book release notes subsided. One professional Google fanboy said that “Google Chrome rules! It’ll probably be abandoned in a couple weeks, but Google Chrome rules!” Now, millions around the world are discovering that, in a rare move, Google appears to have maintained interest in a new project for more than a month. The last time in recent memory that this happened occurred with GMail, although, due to its beta status, it is still unclear if Google will eventually forget about it too.

“The implications of this could be huge, but it is too soon to tell,” said one analyst. He points out that, although most projects are abandoned within the first few days or weeks, some survive three or four months before their developers move on. If Google Chrome makes it past this point, however, most see it as highly likely that Chrome will quickly take over the world. While many see this as good news, one person warned us that allowing Google to take over our lives and our government could be a bad idea. The morning after finding his or her cryptic note, we attempted to ask for further comment, however he or she had mysteriously disappeared.

Overall, it seems that no one really knows what to think of this unprecedentedly good memory on the part of Google, which, some argue, hasn’t happened since they first launched their search business out of a garage*.

* All high-tech companies start in a garage. Google is a high-tech company. Google started in a garage.

Seriously, there may actually be something to be said for Google’s see-what-sticks approach, as it may actually allow for more innovation. Who knows.
