Google's Donating Money for Every Tab You Open

[Darkmatterx]

There goal might not be snooping. They could be using this to draw in a lot of people who had previously never tried Chrome. Its pretty much a sure thing that they'll come out of this with more people using their browser then before. Its actually a really smart way to get new people.

I do agree though that 1M is chump change for Google. Still, I guess it's 1M more then the charities had yesterday. It's win win.

This smells like April fools-day it tastes like April fools-day is waggles like April fools-day and yet we are let to believe it is not April fools-day.

As programmer we should know better as philosophers we should want to know better as politicians we would want to know more and waste money on finding out more and as naive human beings we just play along doing our part for a better (advertised) world.

Still i like it 😉

Hey! please correct the article... the foundation is called "Un Techo para mi Pais" that means "A Roof for my Country" no that i have something against techno music, lol xD http://www.untechoparamipais.org/english/ here you can find more information about this organization, because maybe is the least known from that list, take a look and consider donating your tab-dollars to them! =D

Capped at $1M??? Is that the most tax deduction they can take? C'mon Google... Be charitable. Really.

I go with what rubix_1011 said: i was about to click on the link until i re-read the causes...and then saw the organisations at work here...then it hit me, a million dollar techcorp bringing about a charity op? this feeds both the NGO's and Google's bellies. The recieving end of the charity(the poor) only get a handful of the actual amount noticed...

Amazing that Google is encouraging people to open tabs yet Chrome still doesn't have a multi-row tab bar.

Why would they need too? They dynamically resize. I can open about 120 tabs before they start disappearing, and I have to scroll for them. My monitor is 1920x1080.
