How to Reset Your Cr-48 Chromebook to its Default Factory Settings
03 Jan 2012 by Brian Nelson
Google’s Cr-48 Chromebook was distributed to beta testers in February 2011 and was public’s the first glimpse at a netbook running the Chrome OS. Since its release, the Cr-48 has undergone a number of updates, and on occasion, the software changes create a problem that can be hard to fix with the limited number of resources available for Chrome OS issues. Not to worry, follow these s...

A fond farewell to vertical tabs in Google Chrome
08 Nov 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 21 Comments
Tabbed browsing is nothing new, but I’ve always felt that something wasn’t quite right with how tabs were displayed. After an enthusiastic web browsing session, I’d often end up with a horizontal disaster of disorganized tabs. With computer displays getting wider and not taller, why were browsers cramming tabs into my precious vertical space? Horizontal Tabs in Google Chrome When...

Google Music Beta Soon To Meet Google Music Store
07 Nov 2011 by Brian Nelson
I’ve been using Google Music (beta) for several months now, and if you haven’t already, request an invitation for yourself. It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with the simple interface, the surprisingly full set of features, and the nearly unlimited cloud space…but reports of the upcoming Google Music Store make this service all the sweeter. Google announced the lo...

When Will We See A Chrome OS Tablet?
04 Nov 2011 by Brian Nelson
Some time ago, I became one of the lucky few selected to beta test the first Chromebook, the Cr-48. I didn’t expect a lot from a notebook that was nothing more than a browser, and it delivered exactly what it claimed — a fast-booting OS with a browser…and very little more. The newer Samsung and Acer Chromebooks have greatly improved specs over the Cr-48, but they still leave a lo...

Windows Phone 7: Where’s my Browser?
01 Nov 2011 by Bryant Sombke / 2 Comments
Microsoft has locked itself out of the competition. With the release of the Mango update back in September, Microsoft undoubtedly improved Internet Explorer on their Windows Phone platform. WP7 now features a full-fledged version of IE9 designed specifically mobile devices, which is leaps and bounds ahead of the browser that was available before the update. However, many WP7 users like me would lo...

Google Brings Back Offline Support to Gmail, Adds Offline Docs and Calendar
02 Sep 2011 by Craig Lloyd
Ever since the demise of Google Gears back in December 2009, we’ve always been yearning to get some kind of offline support back to our essential Google applications. Finally, they’ve added offline mode to Gmail, Docs and Calendars. However, it’s only available through the Chrome web browser. Why only Chrome, you ask?

Write Blog Posts From Inside Your Browser with ScribeFire
11 Jul 2011 by Scott Nesbitt
That seems kind of obvious, doesn’t it? Blogging from insider your browser, I mean. That’s how most people do it — go to whatever blogging site they use, log in, and start typing. But that’s not necessarily the best way. And it’s not the most convenient, either, especially if you have more than one blog. So, what is the best way? That depends on your needs. But a good...

Firebug is a free, open source add-on for Firefox that provides essential tools for web developers. If you have Firebug installed and have logged into Gmail recently, however, you’ll be greeted with an intimidating message that states: “Firebug is known to make Gmail slow unless it is configured correctly.” This message also contains a link to “Fix This”, but you wil...

Make Your Searches More Social With Wajam
17 Jun 2011 by Scott Nesbitt / 1 Comment
How do you find out about things? I’m talking about things like interesting places to visit while on vacation, a good place to eat, whether or not a particular bicycle seat is worth buying. Well, that and more. Chances are you take one of two routes. One, you turn to your favorite search engine. Or two, you ask a friend or someone in your social network a question or three. What if you were ...
