Nothing to add to this exact topic, I just love all of the cool stuff coming fast and furious out of the pipeline with Chrome. Just as "google" has become a word in its own right to mean "finding information online", I think "chrome" is going to have its own little space in the english lexicon to mean "that piece of software that you use to find information, and do much, much more besides".
The thing I've been working on for the past ~5 years as my addition to the "chrome-iverse" is called "Linux on the Web". It is basically the first ever online Linux distro, which, by the way, this @ebidel character has really helped out with via his work on the FileSystem API.
