Chrome for MACOSX and Linux are now official out of beta. Personally, I’d stay away from google products.. “your only encouraging them” but its noteworthy news all the same.

diaspora /dī-ˈas-p(ə-)rə, dē-/
origin: Greek, διασπορά – “a scattering [of seeds]”
1. the privacy aware, personally controlled, do-it-all distributed open source social network

Diaspora is simply put an idea at the moment, however their mission is to create a social networking architecture that addresses the concerns that Facebook have not been able too and further more knowingly hidden those security concerns.

Diaspora is a fully funded project with some sound ideas.. the question is will it fly? The product would have to be something special in order to begin the transition of 400+ million users shutting down their Facebook accounts and opening Diaspora account. Most of those users belong to a number of groups and networks that they will not so easily give up.

Google are running a secure search engine in beta currently. https://www.google.com allows users to setup a SSL tunnel between the browser and googles search engines so that we may all search in privacy. That is, if your a frequent user of internet cafes you can now be sure that your google queries are kept private… at least until google receives the HTTP GET request ;)
