What's it all about, Alfie?

As expected, Google Chrome dev 17.0.928.0 is out, and with it are a few big ticket items: the new V8 Javascript engine is at 3.6.6.3, there are additions to the incognito windows, and several changes to the linux version to speed it up. Nice work. I read in the comments to the last release that Google is trying to make the release cycle six weeks. It's something to strive for, but I think that's a little arbitrary as there's no way to know what the next six weeks will bring, and how that will impact the ability to release significant changes to the code.

More likely, it's an arbitrary scale to just "change the numbers" and the third number, 928, is really the number to watch. Still, it's nice they are trying to have something out regularly. It's a nice goal to have.
