Google Chrome Incognito Launcher
by Peter Lucak (pkl2104@columbia.edu)

This AppleScript program is used to launch Google Chrome in incognito mode.
There are a number of scripts which do the same thing around the internet
but most of them only concern when Google Chrome launches, mine does more.
It was designed to act exacly as an application should which means
that no matter what when you click the application you will be presented
with a Google Chrome Incognito window.

Here is a rundown of how it works:
My script allows a user with a click of a button to always get an incognito window 
no matter what the state of the program is.
- When an instance of Google Chrome is not running the script simply launches
  Google Chrome with an incognito window.
- When a instance of Google Chrome is running the script checks to see if 
  an incognito window is open and then:
     - If an icognito window is open then it merely brings that window to the
       the front (if you would like it to open a new tab as well you
       uncomment a line below to activate that functionality).
     - If an icognito is not open then we open a new one.

Enjoy!
PS. Also my application does everything completely through AppleScript GUI programming.
      It never resorts to running anything on the shell.
PPS. Please email me if you have any comments or concerns.
