While I would agree that Chrome, in some flavor, should be a part of Android, I wouldn't assume that Chrome is destine to be a part of Android. The Chrome and Android projects seem to be dueling strategies at Google. http://techcrunch.com

I signed up, and was expecting a very different workflow. IMO, asking me to upload my tax documents without having chosen a tax professional feels backwards. I want to know who is going to be looking at my tax documents. The way things wo
