It’s a great milestone that should attract more developers as they’re now able to target more users than was previously imaginable.

Google to Offer Students $20/Month Chrome OS Book?
According to Forbes, Google is readying to announce a “student package” that wraps up both hardware and online services for a staggering $20 a month. This announcement could come as early as tomorrow. Should this rumor hold water, it would almost certainly be tied to some sort of contract; unless there were a separate hardware […]

Google Adding Voice Search Integration on Google.com
Honestly, its hard not to love Google. They’re always thinking outside the box and try to bring us everyday innovations to help us in our daily lives. A few days ago, Google began experimenting by allowing some lucky users to search Google.com using nothing more than their computer’s built in microphone. Keep in mind this […]

Manage And Save All Your Tabs To The Cloud With TabCloud
If you’re a tab junkie like me, you’ve probably ran into the problem of having more tabs open than you know what to do with. Scouring the internets in my normal day-to-day routine I find I like to save stuff for later, but don’t always want to commit to bookmarking it forever in Chrome. Also, […]
Different Tabs, Different Google Accounts
If there is ONE thing that bugs me about Chrome… this is it. I’ve got multiple GMail accounts and some shared Google Accounts that I use for work related purposes. As it stands, I have to run completely different browsers in order to use different Google accounts on the same computer. That is ludicrous! And […]
A Button For Sending An URL/Link via E-Mail in Chrome
I’m the type of person who subscribes to a billion RSS feeds so I’ve got LOTS of interesting links, but if I want to share them I have to pop open a new tab, load by E-Mail client of choice, and press compose a message. I know, I know… I’m a lazy you-know-what, but wouldn’t […]
How To Open Chrome With Previous Tabs From Last Session
We’ve shown you how to restore your tabs/windows if you accidentally close them, but what if you’re looking for even more flexibility? I’ve heard several folks ask me how (and if) they can get Chrome to – when they open it – automatically load up all the tabs they had open from the last time […]
Can’t Subscribe To RSS Feeds In Chrome? Now You Can!
I’m an RSS junky. I’ve got Google Reader set up to probably track 97% of all the websites on the internet. Okay, I’m exaggerating, but I love me some RSS. One huge irritation in Chrome is that you can’t (by default) subscribe to RSS Feeds very easily. A lot of times they show garbledygookish nothingness. […]

Chrome Browser History Too Basic? Install History 2!
Some people rely on their “History” tab quite frequently. Can’t remember exactly what address or URL had that great information from last week and forgot to bookmark it? Or maybe a few days ago you visited a link sent by a friend, didn’t read it, and you computer restated. There are infinite reasons why you […]
CR-48 Trackpad Fix Makes the Chrome Notebook 100% More Usable
When the CR-48 Notebook first launched it was well received except for one fatal flaw – the trackpad. It was a glitchy pain in the butt that made using the first ever device built on Chrome OS a complete nightmare. Well… that problem has now been fixed with the Chrome OS 11 Beta. It’s often […]
Accidentally Close Your Tabs/Windows In Chrome? Get Them Back!
It’s true in many cases that the best way to fix a problem is by preventing it in the first place. We’ll share the easy “fix” afterwards, but first let’s share a little tip on how you can prevent from accidentally closing an entire window in Chrome accidentally. Simply install the Chrome Toolbox Extension and […]
Chrome Changing An Icon
Google will be updating the Chrome icon on their popular browser and I have mixed feelings towards it. It seems they’re moving away from that shiny, Chrome sphere and onto something a little more — flat. The styling is very similar to the design of the new stickers we’ve been seeing come bundled with the […]
Chrome Drops Support For Google Gears
Google launched Google Gears in 2007 as a way to speed up your web experience by downloading many elements of websites to your local computer. Although Google discontinued Gears last year in an effort to move the benefits of Gears into HTML5 and support them with Chrome instead, Chrome 10 and 11 still supported Google […]

Google wants to focus on SPEED and so they’ve launched ChromeLite which brings you back to the old days where text only was the way to go. You can actually download […]
Chrome Speech-To-Text Illustrates One Advantage Of Ice Cream
So we’ve been hearing a lot about Gingerbread, Honeycomb and Ice Cream from an Android and GoogleTV standpoint. Gingerbread was built for phones, Honeycomb was built for tablets and Ice Cream would reportedly merge the two into one single OS. The latest rumors suggest Ice Cream will not only merge the code base for these […]

The latest […]
Chrome Extends Additional Protection Against Malicious Sites and Downloads
The internet is serious business. Unfortunately, much of that serious business is done by seriously bad people. Whether they’re undermining your browsing habits to show you spam ads, or attempting to force downloads that will install spyware to steal your passwords and adware to ruin your browsing experience, sheisters are all over the place trying […]
Tens Of Millions Suggest Chrome is Key Piece of Google’s Chess Game
If you’ve been paying attention to Google over the past few years, you would be hard pressed to convince anyone they haven’t played a brilliant game of strategy. While they’re typically a “search” and “ad’ company, Google has pressed into many new markets and become the defacto leader. GMail, Google Maps, YouTube and Android Phones […]
Everybody Chromercise!

#Winning is for #Losers [Charlie Sheen]
I’m so freaking sick of Charlie Sheen and all the demented morons who post #winning on Facebook, Twitter, and wherever else pop culture idiots go to hang out. Leave that garbage to Perez Hilton… #Winning was cool for about 2 days when it was a new spectacle, now the realization that Charlie Sheen is an […]
