The time has come. Google I/O!  The keynote kicks off in just a few minutes and with any luck you, our valued readers, are as excited as we are! We’ll do our best to update you with any interesting Chrome tidbits during the entire event – but seeings how we’re actually here (here? there?)  we […]

For the last year or so occasional hints have been dropped regarding Google’s interest in the gaming industry.  It all started back in July when the big G slapped down a cool 100 million to invest in this little company named Zynga.  Ever heard of them? They then snagged Mark DeLoura – you know, that […]

Just a quick post to let you know the Chromium Blog has posted an article to announce a new feature found in the latest dev build – as the title says – the ability to delete “plug-in data”.  This includes Flash Player data! (As one might expect, these cookies are included in what all clears […]

A few days ago a researchers over at Carnegie Mellon University announced a “Time Machine” they had built which uses HTML5 to take GigaPan to the next level. There is lots of explanation to be had, but in short: You can watch time lapse videos of super-high resolution images, fast forward/rewind and zoom, as well […]

I’m usually not one to pay much mind to the ‘ol rumor mill – but what I saw today got me just plain excited. Heck, I got so thrilled I broke into song and dance, invented some sweet new dance moves and took chromercising to the level! (Not really) So anyway. It is being reported […]

The Chrome icon has received a rather overwhelming change, moving from a 3D logo with great depth to a 2D logo with only 4 solid colors. While conceptually I like the new Chrome logo – especially Google’s explanation for keeping it simple – I think the result looks way too much like a camera shutter. […]

Have you noticed any changes when visiting Google.com? Many people focus solely on search and are somewhat oblivious to the links horizontally displayed at the top of the screen. If you’re one of those people, you probably won’t notice that they’ve been updated to look cleaner, more spread out, and include a larger variety of […]

Have you ever wanted to be logged into your G-Mail account in Chrome but perhaps used a different e-mail address for YouTube or Google Docs and become continually frustrated of signing out of everything and back-in repeatedly? Or maybe you just want to manage two different browser profiles with different bookmarks, extensions, themes and all […]

Us lucky kids who have a Chrome Notebook didn’t only get early access to the awesome hardware and Chrome OS, but also an early/inside look at a service called Google Cloud Print. If you’re unfamiliar with Cloud Print the following video should catch you up to speed: Whereas this beta was only open to Chrome […]

As I mentioned in a previous article, one of our writers has had the Cr-48 for about a week now. He’s been busy putting some miles on it so that it will have a chance to leave an impression on him, but in the meantime we wanted to bring you an unboxing video to hold […]

Rumor has it, the long awaited Chrome OS tablet will be launched on November 26th, in time for the big shopping season. But will this be the big iPad killer, or just a really bad idea?

According to Google head honcho Eric Schmidt, Google believes that about 200,000 new Android devices are being sold each day. “People are finally beginning to figure out how successful Android is,” Schmidt said at the inaugural Techonomy conference, pointing to recent studies showing that Android is even beating the massively populair iPhone

It’s hard making sense of all the news and rapidly seeing what you already read and what you didn’t read. Reading feeds with Google Reader is ok, but it still is not optimal if you have a lot of feeds with 1000s of new posts per day. Feedsquares tries to end this problem by making […]

Google has promised to produce a new, stable, version of Chrome OS every six weeks. Sounds grand, but what’s the point? Google’s program manager Anthony Laforge wrote on the Official Google blog that the company is aiming to present a new, stable, release to speed up the pace at which Google Chrome releases are available […]
