Some things I hate about Google

Google is the coolest thing over Internet, but there are some points that I hate about Google.

Google Chrome is not supported on Linux. The best web- browser ever is not supported on Linux and is very disappointing because Chrome has a complete Javascript Debugger and a very usefull console, besides it is very fast. Now, rumors says that they going to launch a version for Linux and Mac in mid 2008, I think we just have to wait.

Google Gadget Designer is very limited on Linux. I recently installed Google Gadget for Linux and I really like it, but the tool that Google give us to create gadgets in linux is ver poor, practically build this gadgets using gEdit is better than using the Google Gadget Designer.

Google Earth is too heavy on Linux. I can't complain because I have a powerfull PC, but anywasy Google Earth is very heavy when is running on Linux.

Google Talk is not supported on Linux. I could use Pidgin to use my Google IM service, but now Google Talk counts with video support and even for Messenger IM Service, Pidgin do not support Video.

The map of my country is very poor. The Google Map for Dominican Republic is very very poor and the developers like me can't use that service to create interactive applications related with address and stuff.

Google doesn't show the same results regardless of country. Perhaps this is a great feature for those developed countries like USA, Spain, UK... but for countries like the Dominican Republic and others is a big mistake because these regions have very little content worth.

Google Gadgets do not work properly in Linux. I do not know why but when the computer goes long without activity "Google Gadgets" is exploited.
