Copyright(C) 1994 - 2009 Network World, Inc. http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/070809-google-chrome-faq.html Google's unveiling of its Chrome OS project was akin to opening a Pandora's box of questions. Perhaps actor Joe Pesci said it best in his role as David Ferrie in Oliver Stone's "JFK": "It's a mystery wrapped inside a riddle inside an enigma".

Mark Gibbs 2009-07-06T12:00:00-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/newsletters/dir/2009/062909id2.html I had a chat with Imprivata CTO David Ting last week about the new Imprivata OneSign FastPass. It's interesting in its own right, but what grabbed me was something that's on the horizon for an upcoming release.
