The Simon reference is much deeper upon analysis than at face value. Everyone's playing along to Google's newest game.

The Chrome-Logo looks a lot like the Windows Media Player-Logo...

And you thought Skynet was bad. Chrome is the start of the end of civilisation. Quick, everyone rebel before we're living on the planet of the apes.

I think Philipp is right. Everything is metaphorical about the Chrome logo. Google and Firefox logos because a lot of the source code is taken from Firefox, Webcam because Google servers are actually monitoring a lot of your activity on their browser, Simon game because soon enough Google will know everything about you through their browser and therefore control you in many ways (as in make you play their game) and the Pokemon ball because you will become Googles minions.
The end.

Haven't tried it yet.
Chrome's a dumb name.
Maybe we should have a naming contest.

Johnny Cat:
Chrome is developer talk for the space where the browser interfaces with the content. Since the object of Google Chrome is to optimize that area, it seemed like a good name.

"There are 26 references in the current encyclopedia" in 2010. Funny, Wikipedia circa 2008 has over 150. Must be some heavy-duty pruning coming up.

I thought Simon immediately, I get Pokeball, and I think it's a good call by Alex on the SAL eye.

But with all that rainbow color going on, why the name "Chrome"? That's just puzzling.

Yeah..a bad logo based on a bad movie.
