Chrome isn’t just faster, it builds in Flash (I know) for more security and performance. It also improves speed and adds a bunch of HTML5 elements that Steve Jobs is also promising for Safari, soon.
Apple isn’t the problem, says Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Labor. Big banks are the problem.
“Why is the Federal Trade Commission threatening Apple with a possible lawsuit for abusing its economic power, but not even raising an eyebrow about the huge and growing economic (and political) muscle of JP Morgan Chase or any of the other four remaining giant banks on Wall Street?” asks Clinton’s former advisor.

The iPhone will be a payments system – on steroids. Take a look at this item over at Computerworld, while considering the following press release.
Update: It looks like Apple has pulled the update temporarily.
A big new feature has been added to the multi-tasking user interface in iPhone OS 4, and that appears to be a widget interface for the iPod app. If you flick to the left of your first window of open apps, you are greeted with a few new buttons.

Tap once to lock in portrait, and again to unlock. The iPod music controls are similar to the ones that used to appear when you double clicked the home button.
This could be the beginning of mini-widgets coming to iPhone OS 4. We’ll update if we find anything else.

Apple may be testing its iTravel solution in Canada, with an ad in a local Montreal newspaper tempting Patently Apple to suspect this to be the case.

Here’s something silly: An iPad built into a kitchen. Ideal for showing off, recipes and simple kitchen surfing, presumably.

Then sit still and stare in wonder at the latest iPad destruction meme to show itself on YouTube – yes, sit back and watch the must-have Apple device get microwaved.
