The wait for Google Chrome for Mac users is finally over. Grab your beta copy today and experience a web browser than runs web pages and applications with lighting speed. The only downside at the moment is that Chrome for Mac is still missing a few features that are in the Windows version — the most important being support for extensions.

I’ve been using it all morning, and it’s a pure delight to feel like I’ve doubled the speed of my internet connection for free!

Google’s new T-Mobile G1 ($179) is the first phone to run Google’s new Android mobile operation system. It may be the first real competitor to Apple’s iPhone. Like Apple’s product, it’s a serious handheld computer with a clever touch-based user interface. Similar to Apple’s App Store for the iPhone, the G1 will be able to access the Android Market for 3rd part apps.

The phone sports a 3-inch touchscreen, a slide-out QWERTY keypad, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, and a 3-megapixel camera. It will be sold in the U.S. starting next month by T-Mobile, for $179 with a two-year contract.

Last week (Dec. 8), Google co-founder Larry Page (34) married Lucy Southworth (27), a doctoral student at Stanford University. The two tried their best to keep the marriage a secret affair, but Google’s own search engine revealed the the couple would be getting married on Necker Island, Richard Branson’s 74-acre estate in the Virgin Islands.

With Larry Page’s worth of $20 billion, I hope his lawyers created a rock solid prenuptial agreement since the two have only dated for a little over a year.

Way to go Lucy for locking down the richest bachelor in Silicon Valley!

According to Techcrunch, anyone who joined Google a year ago is worth, on average, $276,000. But that’s not as crazy as The New York Times citing that 1,000 out of the 16,000 Google employees are worth more than $5 million. At the current price of $662/share, those stock grants and options are sure paying off!

Oprah takes us on a tour of what it’s like to what at Googleplex, the company headquarters of Google. If you thought your company had perks, you’re wrong. Googleplex is outfitted with gyms, on-site doctors, dry cleaners, free laundry rooms, two swimming pools, a sand volleyball court, and nearly a dozen cafeterias that charge nothing for the food!

It’s a no-brainer why Fortune magazine just named Google the #1 place to work in the United States. This final quote in the video sums the experience of working at Google:

“I love working at Google. It’s the next best thing to probably not working at all.”
