Google's Chrome browser market share hits 10% mark
Google's Chrome browser broke the 10 per cent market share barrier last month, according to Net Applications. That is significant given that Microsoft's Internet Explorer surfing tool continued to slide, notching up its worst performance ever last month, by reeling in a still impressive 56 per cent of the browser market. …
Short memories.
That is significant given that Microsoft's Internet Explorer surfing tool continued to slide, notching up its worst performance ever last month, by reeling in a still impressive 56 per cent of the browser market.
Presumably the word "ever" has been redefined as meaning "since about 1999".
Of course, under English law, the phrase "since time immemorial" has sometimes been defined precisely as meaning "since at least 6 July 1189".
I choose my browsers not on marketshare but the following criteria:
Standards Complaince
That's why I choose Opera. Clearly they don't have the huge advertising budgets of Microsoft/Apple/Google, but that does not mean they don't make the best browser.
Agreed, I've never understood why Opera's market share is so small, sure it hasn't got the opensource hipness of Firefox but I've always found it to be consistantly one of the better browsers out there.
I use Linux and have been using Chrome for quite some time because FF3 was so terribly slow when using GMail. However, lately I have found Chrome to be crashing a lot on pages requiring you to stop the page loading and then refresh it again many times per day. This happened at work and at home so I doubt whether it was a local problem.
Anyway, I read a story on el reg about Opera a few weeks ago which prompted me to check Opera out. So, I installed it.
Initial response was that it looked a bit ugly. That's no deal killer though so I tried it out for a couple of days anyway. First problem was that I couldn't (easily) figure out how to show the bookmarks toolbar. Second thing was although it looks a lot like Chrome with the tabs at the top but it doesn't appear to be possible to turn off the gnome window borders like chrome does when in fullscreen mode.
In the end, I simply didn't like it and went back to Firefox, to see if it was behaving better than it used to. That was the beginning of this week and so far it has handled gmail (and everything else) without issues so I guess I'll be staying there for the foreseeable future.
@opera fondling AC..
Aren't you, like, one of the first commenturds in every browser market share article ? What's up with that ? Did you recently join opera dev and proving your loyalty ?
Instead of blanket rants - which just irritate - there are better ways to promote your product. Paris, coz she knows a thing about self promotion.
Most people are sheep and just use what they see thrown in their face.
Firefox is still (somehow) clinging onto the crowd that left IE because someone told them security was better in Firefox (LOL)
People still using IE, Safari (does anyone use Safai on Windows? and Why?) and Chrome are because these are billion dollar companies and can throw bottomless amounts of money at the problem of public awareness.
Opera does not have either of these, but it does have the best browser by a very long mile, and it's a very profitable outfit in both the desktop and mobile arenas. The only losers are those that write it off without trying it.
You need to define "best"
"Opera does not have either of these, but it does have the best browser by a very long mile, and it's a very profitable outfit in both the desktop and mobile arenas. The only losers are those that write it off without trying it."
I've tried every major version from 4 to 10 and in every case I found that I do not like the user interface, that quite a few of my regular websites do not render as I would expect, that it's not faster (or slower) than anything else by any noticeable real-world margin and that it doesn't cope well with being used from behind an authenticating proxy.
So far I haven't noticed any of these problems with either Chrome, IE, Firefox or Safari, so could you please tell me why Opera is the best?
N.B. Being first to incorporate some browser improvements, e.g. tabs, does not make it "best"; simply "first".
If I'm reading the stats right...
Chrome might have grabbed 10%, but IE6 still has 11%. Scary stuff.
I still don't know anyone that uses chrome? I know lots that have it installed because it comes bundled with EVERYTHING the creepware giant dishes out. But no one that actually double clicks and uses it as a browser.
Must be me then.
There's me
I've been using it for over a year now.
I had been using it ...
since it was initial release. I stopped when Google decided to force Flash on everyone. I don't want that vapid piece of malware anywhere near my computer thanks.
Damned Statistics
Net Apps has is the most IE weighted statistics source I've seen! If you look at gs.statcounter.com then things are quite different. There's a surprising amount of variation going on here. What's behind it?
In that world, IE sits at 46%, Firefox at 30%, Chrome at 15% and IE6 at 5%.
It's also important to consider that with worldwide stats, places like Africa and China are IE6 happy and will affect the figures. (Uneven distribution)
I did give Opera a go but dropped it because it rendered some pages badly. I'm very happy with Google Chrome, which renders the same pages faster and perfectly too!
For me Chrome has some mayor drawbacks
1) It doesn't render websites like Firefox, Safari, Opera and even IE does. Chrome is the new IE all over again
2) It doesn't even have a search bar on the top right, as soon as I search my search words are gone.
3) Compared to some other browsers it really doesn't load a website faster, it's all the same to me (who cares about some fancy test!)
I have no idea why people really like chrome if you ask me... I have it installed, I use it to test a website, but it doesn't give me the browser drug other people are getting
re 2) you search, you end up at the search engine of your choice, with the search terms in the site's search term entry field, so you can modify the search if you wish to.
re3) It doesn't load one site faster, but I'm not infrequently loading half a dozen at a time, at which point it is faster than anything else out there. The separated thread design also means that I've never yet lost a browsing session due to a crash, which is very pleasant.
10% of the market, but I have still to see anyone who actually has it installed on a machine.
There's me (Ubuntu) , my other half (Vista) and my father (Ubuntu). All very happy with Chrome - so that's at least three people.
I tried it (and Firefox, Opera), and found it to work so much faster than the others it was a no brainer. Add on Adblock (Amazing that Google allow that!) and what's not to like. Never got on with Opera - Flash video from places like YouTube was continually freezing so I gave up. Seemed OK though.
Speed example. If I start Firefox, then start Chrome. I can be writing in the URL bar of Chrome before the Firefox window even bothers to start appearing.
more clicks with chrome.
When I clock on a search result, my search terms are gone. When I have a search bar they are not. With chrome it's more clicking and copying search terms on clipboards.
Not at all.
Check the search box on the search engine page that the browser has sent you to. See http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95655
I've just experimented, and for me, I can enter a search term, press return, end up at google with the term in the search field on the web page. If I then click on a search result, and press the menu bar back button subsequently, I end up back at google with the search term still in the search entry field.
I don't know why you're not experiencing that behaviour.
While I see this behaviour when I actively look for it, the way I normally use chrome is to middle click on each promising search entry to open them in a new tab, so the original search results sit untouched until I've found what I want.
Hope that's some help.
flawed stats
Remember that these stats are often flawed - the same stats would claim the Iphone to be the most popular mobile platform, despite the fact that we know it isn't anywhere near that.
It penalises browsers that do more to cache results, as well as those that have to present themselves as another browser, in order not to be fed bogus data.
I too am confused why market share matters for users - and the point is, there isn't even consistency here. If Firefox fans say it's better than Opera because of greater market share, then by the same logic, we should all be using IE(!)
I'm glad to see more alternatives in browsers now gaining ground. Though I get annoyed when Firefox fans spend so much time evangelising against Opera users. Surely more non-IE competition is good? I was using a non-IE browser long before Firefox existed, and long before it became trendy to not use IE, so it's frustrating to hear this envangelism from a Johnny-come-lately.
I wonder if the Chrome results include Iron (the white-label version of Chrome that doesn't talk to Google).
I've been using Iron for ages - I find it consistently faster than Firefox (both starting up and loading pages), and I love the built-in DOM tools that mean I don't have to install Firebug.
Waa Waa Waa!
I just knew before I read that among the first 5 comments would be at least one Opera user claiming that Opera is best despite its tiny market share. There comes a point in time when you have to realise that most people just simply don't like it.
Waa Waa Waa
I knew there would be one troll arguing evertything is market share.
Clearly windows is the best OS, IE is the best browser, and RIM makes the best smartphone.
Everyone else needs to realise that most people just simply don't like the others.
most people don't know about it.
Everyone I have introduced to it (usually when removing spyware from IE/Firefox systems) has stuck with it, and love it. I also don't end up going back and cleaning there systems every other week afterwards too.
you bought IE
You did not have a choice.
It is illegally commingled and bundled with the Microsoft OS.
So why wouldn't 50% still use it?
Now if Microsoft offered consumes a choice or allowed customers to download and install a browser of their choice like just about all other applications, then the comparison of use might make sense.
If you are forced to buy a burger each day for lunch (whether you eat it or not), it makes sense that most people would eat it. 90% are forced to buy it. Only 50% use it. That means that 45% toss the burger away.
Seems like those idiots should be complaining about the requirement to purchase that burger.
Being forced to buy a country mandated uniform is the same thing. Your opinion does not count. Every time you shop for clothes you have to buy the governments uniform. They your opinion on clothes would matter the same as browsers.
Both the US DOJ and the EU Commission have agreed to force the sale of IE.
Just remember, if you have a copy of IE, your opinion does not matter. Not to Microsoft, that is for sure. They get your money every time.
I get counted 3 times
I have Firefox, IE8 and Chrome installed. I have to use one badly written app, hence IE8, and otherwise need two unique browsers so I can have two connections into a server that appear unique.
I get around the two browsers requirement by using one instance of Chrome, with a window open in 'incognito' mode. Works fine for my problem, and saves having yet another app eating RAM.
FF in the cross-hairs?
After all these years, and a big team & budget, FF is still only just about 20%. Chrome gets half that practically overnight in comparison.
Could it really be the case Chrome overtakes FF before IE loses #1 status? At this rate, FF is looking under serious threat while IE is simply continuing a slow descent.

The most annoying thing is when sellers keep on repeating themselves and not making sense at all. That's the best killer in market (I think). I often delete mails that are repeating. It really annoys me. They can do better than that. Millionaire mind intensive seminar has given some points to remember to prevent your business from failing.
How to Annoy Your Customers and Kill Your Online Sales
If you're not seeing the results that you expected from your online business, all of your hard work might actually be driving your customers away. If your marketing strategy is annoying instead of engaging, prospects will instantly leave your site and delete your emails without reading them. You may even end up on their ignore or spam lists. Check to see if you're making any of these mistakes:
1. Big, Bold Fonts
This is the equivalent of talking louder when people stop listening in the offline world. If no one is paying attention to your content, bigger fonts, bolder colors, or flashier graphics won't make a bit of difference. In fact, a visual assault is one way to guarantee the user will change the channel, so to speak.
2. Not Listening
If you talk, talk, talk, and talk some more without stopping to listen to your audience, you'll quickly lose their attention. Ask for their opinion, solicit comments, and encourage discussion and debate. A conversation is much more engaging than a monologue. An easy way to gather private opinions is to use online survey software to ask a question or two that customers can answer confidentially. It will be just between the two of you and show that you value their opinion.
3. Constantly Repeating Yourself
OK, we get it. We actually got it the first time. While it's okay to repeat key points once or twice to make an impact, don't repeat the same information 10 times. Treat your readers like the intelligent people that they are. The same holds true with email communications. If you have something new to say, go ahead and send the email. However, if your message is basically the same as yesterday or last week, don't just send a rephrased version of the same old thing.
4. Not Making Sense
It's tempting to show that you're an expert by filling your content with keywords and technical jargon. However, your goal is to deliver a simple, easy-to-understand message that catches your reader's attention. If they can't weed out the actual meaning from the fluff, you've missed your target.
5. The Hard Sell
If you're filling your message with a call-to-action that is too much of a hard sell, you'll quickly irritate your customer. Avoid too many "buy now" or "hurry, time is running out" statements. While this might work on a used car lot, it's not effective with savvy internet shoppers. Even if you're the most trustworthy online business owner in the entire cyber world, this tactic screams scam.
6. Not Selling at All
Just like you don't want a hard sell, don't use a sales tactic that's too soft. Don't be so scared of annoying or offending your customers that you never ask for the sale at all. Be engaging, be sensitive, be appropriate, but above all else, provide enough information that your customer knows how to buy your product.
Once you eliminate these annoying habits from your online repertoire, you'll be amazed at the increase in your traffic and your bottom line.
About the Author
I liked the way you approached the subject - what not to do. Often times, we focus too much on what to do and we sometimes overlook the things that we shouldn't be doing. Inversion is one of the best techniques used by some of the most successful online entrepreneurs to come up with strategy.
All these are mistakes that most small businesses are making when they are trying to sell their products or services online, another mistake it's that most small businesses don't take advantage of testimonials and use them as a proof that their products will fulfill the expectations of the costumers, this can make the difference of a sales copy that sells and another one that doesn't... Regards Kostas My recent post 3 Easy Ways to Increase Online Sales
Yes it's all about listening to your readers. Because it's the readers that will eventually be converted into buyers. Another tip is how often a mailing list will be send. If a marketeer sends his email once a day to his subscriber this will eventually be seen as spam and your email will land in their spam box. A good rate is once a week or once a month. Thanks for the tips My recent post undefined
Good customer service is vital for any business. Happy customers are paying customers.
Loren, i agree with you, i have experienced this thing and the sole reason being i tried too hard and tried to hardsell. but with subtle and regular efforts i got back! becoming over ambitious always harms My recent post Choosing The Right Keywords For Your SEO Campaign 1-3
i love your titles... they are funny... but its true that you have to think of your readers as being intelligent... you dont need to tell them the same thing again and again
Nice way of describing... i loved it already !!
All great points Loren, I see a lot of blogs out there and business websites that fall into the trap of making things how THEY like them vs how their customers will like them.
Loren as an marketer you must understand what your audience need and how your going to give it to them..see what the comments say..you can get a lot from there.. "Black Seo Guy "Signing Off"

This bread was recently discussed in a thread. I found this recipe on Google. "A famous bread from the state of Minas Gerais served at most steak houses in southern Brazil. Unusual in that the recipe calls for manioc starch (available in some Latin groceries) rather than wheat flour. Leavening is from steam during baking, similar to the way eclairs are leavened. These rolls do not hold well and are best consumed while warm, directly from the oven. In Brazil these rolls would be made with Queijo de Minas, a mild, white cheese similar to Muenster in texture - but quite different in taste." They are addictive.

I was surprised to start having hot flashes in my mid-30s. I had heard that black cohosh could help, so I tried the Nature's Way brand. I haven't had a single hot flash since about a week after starting. What a relief!

i wanted to say how please i was with your product. it brilliant for the menopause. I have suffered over the past years and this product was recommended by my sister who lives in Sacramento, California. I have been taking these tablets for the past two months and feel my life has got back to normal again. I can now get a nights sleep with NO hot flushes.Many people don't always realise when you start with the menopause how it affects your sleep, because you wake up over and over again, then the next day your totally tired and have go to work feeling like a zombie. The hot flushes can be like hot volcanoes going on in your body, it's herendous. So to be able to have no flushes and to be able to sleep is BRILLIANT. I feel I've been given my quality of life back and i hope these tablets continue to work for me.THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR YOUR WONDERFUL PRODUCT Cheers Sheila x

I was told by my physician I would need to use Remifemin to help with night sweats and to avoid any other brand due to doubts about quality control, but I've always purchased good products from brands sold at the health food stores. I recognized this brand and purchased it to help me save money (remifemin is very expensive). This products works great and does exactly what I need it to do. I'd also like to note that the nightsweats I get are due to CFIDS/ME and I always test out with normal hormone levels, so how and why this works for me, I don't understand, but it works and that's all that really matters. I'm happy to have found such an effective product at a lower price and am thrilled that it's available in Vcaps.
It works for me.

I've been using this product for 2 years. When I first started taking it hot flashes and night sweats were making me miserable. Within a week or two I was feeling much better and the flushing became manageable. I'm not completely free of this problem, but I can live with it much better now. I've recommended black cohosh to many of my friends and Nature's Way in particular because I know it works.
Best ever!

Low temperature storage
Many of the new pharmaceutical drugs belong to the biological class. These products are often sensitive to heat and show lack
of stability even at 2–8 ° C (for example, recombinant viruses and cell therapies). One option is to store them frozen at
–20 °C, at –70 to –80 °C or even in liquid nitrogen (in vapor or submerged inside, i.e., at –196°C).
Some issues are reported with glass vials when stored at very low temperature, such as small cracks —ranging up to complete
breakage—and loss of closure integrity caused by differential retraction of the stopper regarding the glass vial neck. Loss
of integrity can lead to contamination risk, loss of sublimated water, or severe acidification when stored in dry ice.
To confirm the vial integrity at very low temperature, vials were filled with 100% oxygen and laser-resealed before being
immersed in liquid nitrogen. Some unsealed vials were equipped with a small catheter in the stopper as positive samples. After
11 days of storage in these conditions, the oxygen content remained at 100% in resealed vials, whereas it decreased to about
60% in positive vials. This result showed that nitrogen did not enter the resealed vials, thus demonstrating the maintenance
of the tightness of the closure.
These tests demonstrate that the closed vial, because of its resistant COC and effective closure assembly, is suitable for
long-term storage in extreme conditions of low temperature.
Resistance to breakage
COC is known to be resistant to damage, and resistance to breakage was assessed in two different conditions: by drop test,
to assess risk of cracks due to shock, and by freeze-thawing to assess resistance to the expansion of frozen liquids.
To assess resistance to product expansion, a freezing-thawing test at –80 °C was conducted with vials filled with 15% mannitol,
which is known to expand significantly during freeze-thawing. This test was performed according to a test reported by Jiang
et al. who recorded glass vial breakage when frozen with this solution inside (7). Jian et al. observed that glass vial breakage
depends on the filled volume and on the vial size. Jian et al. recorded 100% breakage for 20-mL glass vials and 50–60% breakage
with 5- and 10-mL glass vials when filled at half of nominal volume. When this test has been performed according to the same
procedure, no broken closed vial was observed with 5-, 10- and 20-mL size. The test was also performed with closed vial filled
at full nominal volume and again, no breakage was reported.
This test showed that not only is COC resistant to shocks but that it is also able to tolerate significant product dilatation
without damage.

November 28, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Americans borrowed more to buy cars and attend school in November, gains that pushed consumer debt to an all-time high.
The Federal Reserve says consumers increased their borrowing by $16 billion in November compared with October. Total borrowing rose to a record $2.77 trillion.
Borrowing in the category that covers autos and student loans increased $15.2 billion. Credit card debt rose just $817 million.
Consumer spending rebounding in November, helped by lower gas prices and solid job growth that carried over into December. Employers added 155,000 jobs in December and 161,000 in November.

ASPEN, Colo. — The New York Police Department will soon launch an all-seeing "Domain Awareness System" that combines several streams of information to track both criminals and potential terrorists.
New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly says the city developed the software with Microsoft.
Kelly says the program combines city-wide video surveillance with law enforcement databases.
He says it will be officially unveiled by New York's mayor as soon as next week.
Kelly spoke Saturday before an audience at the Aspen Security Forum.
The NYPD has been under fire for surveillance of Muslim communities and partnering with the CIA to track potential terror suspects. Muslim groups have sued to shut down the NYPD programs.
Kelly defended the policies as key to thwarting 14 terror plots against the city since the attacks of Sept. 11th.

Patriotic tunes filled the air at the Morris Performing Arts Center Thursday morning.
Area students were treated to the musical stylings of the South Bend Symphony Orchestra. In a special American-themed concert entitled Let Freedom Ring."
After the color guard presented the flag, the orchestra performed music by some of the nation's finest composers, including Aaron Copeland and John Williams.
The emcee of the event was WNDU alum Gordy Young.
Organizers say the patriotic theme was an opportunity for students to learn more about their heritage, outside of a traditional classroom setting, as well as possibly discover the next Beethoven or Mozart in the process.
"We hope that it will also inspire a lot of young people to take up music and pursue studying music and the pursuit of excellence," said Ed Phillips, Director Of Education, South Bend Symphony Orchestra.
More than 35 area schools are taking part in this year's event.
The orchestra will perform a second concert for students on Friday morning.

A staggering one in three women are victims of domestic abuse… and in this week's issue of Grazia we talk to a man who psychologically abused his wife.
The article – in which James* reveals he eventually sought help for his behaviour – marks the start of the UN's 16 Days of Action Campaign tackling domestic abuse.
It's an issue that is back in the spotlight thanks to a new scheme announced today which could help prevent more women being terrorised in their own homes… 'Clare's Law' means women will now have the right to find out from police if their partner has a history of violence. The new law, starting in March, is named after Clare Wood, 36, who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend George Appleton in February 2009. Mother-of-one Clare met him on Facebook, unaware he had been repeatedly violent towards women.
An astonishing 88 women were killed by their partners last year – a figure that campaigners are working hard to reduce.
"Clare's Law provides people with the information they need to escape an abusive situation before it ends in tragedy," said Home Secretary Theresa May. "The national scheme will ensure that more people can make informed decisions about their relationship and escape if necessary."

- A go back in jeopardyGrouponFindDined on 11/8/2014This was our 2nd time. The first time was fantastic. Food, Service and Ambiance was a reason we went back. This time the food and ambiance was still great, however the service disappeared. We felt invisible all evening. We enjoy not being rushed, but in this case the service was none existent. The reason given was they were too busy. It was obvious they were under staffed. Because we enjoy there food so much we will go back one more time. If the service has not improved that will be our last time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- South American GemMoM2VIPDined on 11/2/2014This was our second visit - in two weeks! Great ceviche and soup as appetizers. Lamb shank and chicken, both with interesting rice, as entrees. A little pricey, but gourmet level cooking.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- No excuse for slow servicetastebudspotonVIPDined on 10/25/2014At 7pm on a Saturday I was surprised it wasn't packed. The only reason we were still there when they closed was because of slow service. Most food came out warm not hot. Drink refills were very slow and you had to request - they didn't ask. Tamales - boring and hardly any meat. Filet medallions good flavor but over cooked and had grit. I'll be surprised if this place makes it.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 10/12/2014Great restaurant . . . A must go for any foodie in the suburbs. Plus huge portion sizes for your friends who just like to eat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Definitely a neighborhood gempinjoh541Dined on 9/18/2014We've been here several times now and everything we've had has been delicious! If we're going out with friends or by ourselves, this place is on our short list of places to go for great food.Special Features:
- Great ExperienceFlamingoVIPDined on 9/12/2014We have been to Rio's several times now. This last time was with four out of town guests. They all thoroughly enjoyed themselves and have added it to the list of favorite restaurants in Chicago. We did small plates with a variety of food - all very tasty. Soup was enjoyed by all, especially the Chupe de Camorones! Ordering is a breeze as items are all beautifully photographed and come out looking just like the picture. We shared three of the desserts - and couldn't agree on a favorite as they were all really good. Service was excellent too. A great time was had by all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food fair serviceNoisyDined on 8/16/2014Good food service was fair no one there to greet us for at least 5 minutes waiter was very slow even after we told him we had theater reservations had had to leave by a certain timeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 43 reviews are from the Rio's in Addison (South American Cuisine) reviews archive.
- TommyCDined on 7/25/2014Food was very tasty and the atmosphere was energetic with a good South American vibe. However, the service was well below average, which was very disappointing. My date and I were seated without a drink/wine list. My water was never refilled. Our waiter brought out the wrong kind of wine for my date and he seemed more interested in staring at my date than asking us how our food was, asking if we needed refills, etc. It also took about 15 minutes to ask for the check and then when I promptly placed my credit card there, it took another 15 minutes for our waiter to return. And no, the restaurant was NOT packed, I would only say about 2/3 full, if that.Special Features:
- Loved it!LindaDined on 7/12/2014The food here is outstanding! Such a gem in the suburbs! This was our first visit. Two couples and all four of us want to come again. So many great choices on the menu it was hard to decide. First they bring a South American bread in strips with three types of condiments - all excellent. We had the Bon Bones for an appetizer. The meat was to die for - extremely tender. Our server - I forget his name, I'm terrible with names - was very helpful and patient. We LOVED this place!Special Features:
- A findMdsteinbDined on 6/2/2014My wife and I were delighted to find Rio among a suburban collection of usual suspect chain restaurants -- great Peruvian, Argentinian and Brazilian dishes and a very friendly staff. Also, a great bar.Special Features:
- A great find!MikeVIPDined on 5/30/2014We were looking for someplace interesting near the movie theatre in Addison. Rio's was perfect. Interesting, delicious food. Excellent service. We'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant SurpriseJdowns119Dined on 5/23/2014Waiter Chris was knowledgable, and food was wonderful. I totally recommend going tapas style with your loved one for a date night. Seafood ceviche Classico was amazing, we would go back just for that!Special Features:
- Hidden Gem!EddyQVIPDined on 5/9/2014This place is easy to miss since it's tucked away in an upscale strip mall on Lake Street across Marcus Theaters. The food and service are excellent. I will be back to try the various items on the menu I did not get to eat during my first trip.Special Features:
- Great food!PerkyVIPDined on 5/3/2014We really loved almost all of our dishes and the one dish with Mahi Mahi in a coconut sauce was replaced without question when we told them it was not to our liking. The dish they replaced it with was wonderful! Thank you for being so accommodating! Service was pretty good, but we did have to ask for bread and water!Special Features:
- Tasty, Fresh FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 4/18/2014My wife is a vegetarian while I'm a carnivore and we always find great plates...full of fresh wonderful flavors! Love this place.
- Great Innovative FoodWineAndDineGirlDined on 3/29/2014A Nice change of pace menu.....Not your run of the mill dishes, but fresh and flavorful....If you have not been...definitely try it....We will be sure to return. Service was Excellent! Knowledgeable and Attentive Server!! :)Special Features:
- Delicious dishes delivered delightMccloud122VIPDined on 3/28/2014The food was very well presented a and definitely delicious. My wife ordered two of the same dishes because she liked it so much. The quality was high and full of flavor. I would definitely return to try the other options. The ceviche was great and the fish with garlic sauce was perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovin that Rio !StillLovinItDined on 3/22/2014This was the second time we've gone to Rio ! The food is Superb, the Service is outstanding, and prices are reasonable ! We have made Rio, our go to restaurant !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BellaOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 3/1/2014We were looking for a good food and also nice place to go for dinner with a group of Friends on Saturday night in Addison. Thanks to Open Table membership I was able to find pretty new spot Rio's. Snow was falling down pretty hard but after we made it, we were rewarded by very friendly crew, our server needs some more time to learn how to open bottle of wine and then not to serve over people's heads. But manager steps in and with smirch of humor took over. Food was absolutely delicious and portions are humongous. Only one minus will be noise, we had large group of people next to our table and they absolutely didn't care to come down a little, noise coming from that table was bad bad bad....... But we will go there again!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food Delicious/Service "Iffy"LSidVIPDined on 2/22/2014The first thing we saw when we entered Rio's was the bar. Behind the bar were about 6 people running around, bumping into each other. I comment to my wife that this place may need a "Bar Rescue". Ordered a Caprahina that seemed watered down, since the bartender rinsed the drink tin with soda in order to fill the large glass. My second drink was a Conquistador and they seemed to redeem themselves with that one. Everything that we had from the food menu was fantastic. There was some issues with the temperature of the food that came out. Some of the hot dishes were not very hot. Our waiter, though seeming nervous and inexperienced, was very attentive. Overall experience was very good, just a few service related issues.Special Features:
- Rio'sDavidDined on 2/1/2014Rio's was recommended by friends and I was not disappointed. The cornish hen al fondo was outstanding.Special Features:
- This is the third time werosyleeDined on 1/17/2014This is the third time we had dinner here. It is different for our area, nice, quiet and not the same food as other places.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Positive ExperienceRockyDined on 12/27/2013What a great place to wow that special someone! From start to finish. Rio's is an experience that everyone has to try at least one time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- tasty peruvianliquidinerDined on 12/24/2013Great Peruvian/Latin cuisine. everything was delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Glad we found itShouldntHaveEatenItAllDined on 12/20/2013We were a little nervous when my wife and I arrived last Friday eve with a friend and the place was pretty empty (usually a bad sign). Granted it was a little later in the eve but I have seen other places much busier at 8:00 PM. We finally ordered our food at 9:00 PM, in that we had given up waiting for another friend who was caught up at work. Please keep in mind I was so hungry my shoe would have tasted good! All three of us have traveled to South America on many medical missions and were very impressed with the quality of the food. The food seemed very authentic and was excellent in taste. We wish them continued success as to hopefully return many times (including with our workaholic friend from Good Sam). The service was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding mealGerryVIPDined on 11/25/2013I really enjoyed my meal at Rio. Food was outstanding as well as the service. Too bad I was the only person there. Great flavors you can't find at other places. They brought me some bread to start with three different sauces which were all wonderful. Next they brought out a tiny cup of soup for me to try which was also excellent. Really enjoyed Corte De Entraña Estilo Rio's as my entree. I was in town for business but I will go back for sure next time I am there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chicago style ambiance in AddisonOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/16/2013Finally had a babysitter and decided to go out in the neighborhood for a bite to eat. Went to Rio and was pleasantly surprised. New menu and great service. Had the South American stir fry and the wife had the Tierra y Mar. We both thoroughly enjoyed the night. Calamari was marginal at best. Tasted as if the Chef used frozen calamari and breaded it then fried it for us. Besides the calamari, don't pass Rio up.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a terrific findOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 10/25/2013My husband and I are always looking for new places to try. Since neither one of us have ever had South American cuisine before we decided to give it a try. What a gem ! Staff was very attentive, food was very good and wine list was very reasonable. We will definitely be back to try other dishes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always Good FoodfoodieVIPDined on 10/11/2013Been to Rio's several times and the food has always been the highlight with the service taking a distant second, until this time. The food was good as always, but we were pleasantly surprised that the service had finally gotten up to speed with the food. Our server Tony was attentive and knowledgeable, he helped to make this visit to Rio's one of our best.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good!PerkyVIPDined on 10/5/2013Loved the appetizers here! The food is very different from your usual night out to dinner. Loved the beef tournedos. Service was great. Entrees were also very good. We'll go back!Special Features:
- We were in town for a businessMC82Dined on 10/3/2013We were in town for a business meeting and were pleasantly surprised to find a unique restaurant like Rio's in the cornfields of surburbia! Dinner was great as was the service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- YumoDonnaVIPDined on 9/27/2013So my husband found this place using your app and boy did he find a good one. From the hostess, to the bartender, to our server, excellent service. Food was incredible. Do not let the location of being on Lake street in s strip mall fool you. Hidden gem.Special Features:
- South American Gem!OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/13/2013This place is a great alternative to the restaurants in the area. The atmosphere food and service take you to South America for the evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not ready for the big leagueOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/15/2013Many of the wines on the menu were out of stock and others not on the menu were offered instead at the same price. Our group of 7 were the only patrons in the restaurant between 5pm and 7:30. Service was very slow and there was no flexibility on the menu items. The portions were large. The dessert items were very bad. Ice cream that was melted and tasted like it was in a no frost freezer too long. The flan was like rubber!
- Great new spot, rough parking...Shlim1Dined on 7/27/2013We stopped in at Rio's to try something new. The establishment has been open a few months now, and we wanted to try before there was a chance of closing, as many others in the area have! GLAD WE DID!! Food was great! Service (Chris) was great! It was overall on the high side ($$) for what we had, but not unheard of... would visit again, I hope the community gives them a chance! Parking in front of building is limited, but plenty in back.Special Features:
- Decent....OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 7/19/2013The food was pretty good, nothing really special. My server wasn't able to pair wine with my meal so don't expect that. I really liked the decor of the place. My food was good, but I was hoping the flavor would jump from my beef tenderloin more than it did. The pita bread is excellent. It took a really long time for our food to arrive. I would go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was fantasticJoanVIPDined on 7/18/2013Very interesting menu for food and drinks and the food was great. The service was excellent, but it did take an unusually long time for the entrée to come out. It was fine for us, we were visiting, but others might not like it. It was a wonderful evening though and I can highly recommend this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- quaint little placeOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/12/2013The food was amazing. Service was slow but the server was knowledgeable and friendly. Fyi there is no kids menu. We took a five year old with us and fortunately she eats a variety. The appetizers were perfect portions for her. Will definitely be back to try other menu items.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Will Be BackfoodieVIPDined on 6/29/2013We were pleasantly surprised with the food. Everything we had was delicious especially the sauces they provided on the side chimmi churri etc. Unfortunately the service went from bad to worse after we ordered a second round of drinks. We ordered a vodka tonic and a Mojito (their signature drink), the v&t came after about 10 minutes and the Mojito took over 20 minutes. I should note that the servers was knowledgeable and very nice. I WILL however try this place again because the food was so good and I think they can fix the service issues with some training, at least I hope they can.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fusion of South American/JapaneseOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/28/2013I am not sure if this is an authentic fusion, but very nice place to try something different. Service good, but waiter needed to space courses better. Chicken tamale, exotic salad, rolled chicken dish and shrimp/scallop/steak kabobs were good. (Could have used a little more seafood on the kabob). Interesting vegetable/rice side. Fruit Mojitos made to sweetness request-strawberry/mint light sweetness-excellent. Desert flan a bit denser than the Greek/Mexican version...OK Outside dining was surprisingly nice, not a lot of car traffic in parking lot, so didn't seem to notice....restaurant also looked fun on the inside...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Intel® Itanium® Processor 9300/9500 Series: Datasheet The Intel® Itanium® processor 9300 series and Intel® Itanium® processor 9500 series employ Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC) design concepts for a tighter coupling between hardware and software. In this design style, the interface between hardware and software is designed to enable the software to exploit all available compile-time information, and efficiently deliver this information to the hardware. It addresses several fundamental performance bottlenecks in modern computers, such as memory latency, memory address disambiguation, and control flow dependencies. The EPIC constructs provide powerful architectural semantics, and enable the software to make global optimizations across a large scheduling scope, thereby exposing available Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) to the hardware. The hardware takes advantage of this enhanced ILP, and provides abundant execution resources. Additionally, it focuses on dynamic run-time optimizations to enable the compiled code schedule to flow at high throughput. This strategy increases the synergy between hardware and software, and leads to greater overall performance.The Intel® Itanium® processor 9300 series and Intel® Itanium® processor 9500 series system interface, with its four full-width and two half-width Intel® QuickPath Interconnects, enables each processor to directly connect to other system components, thus can be used as an effective building block for very large systems. The balanced core and memory subsystem provide high performance for a wide range of applications ranging from commercial workloads to high performance technical computing.The Intel® Itanium® Processor 9300 Series and Intel® Itanium® Processor 9500 Series are pin compatible and support a range of computing needs and configurations from a 2-way to large SMP servers (although OEM field upgrade methodologies vary). This document provides the electrical, mechanical and thermal specifications that must be met when using the Intel® Itanium® processor 9300 series and Intel® Itanium® processor 9500 series in your systems.Read the full Intel® Itanium® Processor 9300/9500 Series Datasheet.

Highlight a Benefit: AIChE Career Advancement & SupportBy Arjun Gopalratnam | Comments (0)
Today more than ever, the path toward advancement in our careers requires us to change jobs multiple times throughout our 20s and 30s, whether within our company or by switching between companies. Many young professionals find that they need to acquire advanced degrees to be taken seriously and to move in to management or higher levels of technology. AIChE prides itself on being a one-stop resource for the developing chemical engineer, and career advancement is a large part of this. I sat down with Camille Belcuore, one of AIChE's experts on career resources to see what the Institute has to offer.

The Houston Public Media Silent Film Concert Series continues with F.W. Murnau's Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927). Adapted from Hermann Sudermann's short story ''A Trip to Tilsit,'' Sunrise tells the story of a simple country man (George O'Brien) involved with a devious mistress (Margaret Livingston). At her urging, he plots to kill his faithful and loving wife (Janet Gaynor). Austin-based instrumental post-rock band MY EDUCATION perform a newly composed score for the film. The score promises to be cinematic and psychedelic, melding powerful, whirring guitars with a harmonious viola.
