Give people the option to work with Google Chrome using JavaScript, HTML5, and other browser tools, and they’ll start designing some pretty creative things. For example: Is that the Google homepage? It certainly appears that way. But something is wrong. Did I break it? Sweet mercy…the Google homepage has developed its own gravitational force. The second you hover over the page...
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? Well, Google says that other browsers haven’t implemente...
Chrome web browser: Like many of you, I’ve been having a great time playing around with Google+ for the last week. Because it’s so new – let’s not forget that it’s still in a beta field trial – engineers at Google have been tweaking and changing things like crazy in response to user feedback. This isn’t anything new of course, Twitter’s ubiquitous @r...
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...
Never has a title been more self-explanatory. Chris Finke, who has previously developed killer Firefox add-ons like TwitterBar, ScribeFire, and the innovative TapSure for mobile Firefox, recently brought some much-needed functionality to Google’s Chrome web browser: the ability to open new tabs at the end of the tab bar, just like Firefox. If you have a group of tabs open in Google Chrome a...
These days it’s impossible to casually surf the web and avoid sites that use tools from Facebook, Twitter, Google, and others that make the experience more social and immersive. Still, with privacy issues at the forefront of technology news, it is worth noting that many of these social media tools make your e-life more convenient at a price – they track your behavior. In most cases, ...
Here at Techerator, we know that our site wouldn’t be the success it is without all of our readers (Thank you!). Since our launch in May 2009, we’ve made many improvements to the site for our readers. Our most recent change was an entire redesign of Techerator. A big focus on the redesign was making it easier for our readers to keep updated on new articles with the tools in our sid...
If you don’t know what Woot! is, it’s a site sells a single item each day (usually at an exciting price). There are several different versions of the site – selling things like shirts, wine, and stuff for kids - but the original Woot! is the place where most of the action happens. Every once in awhile, Woot! has a “Woot-Off”, where they abandon their usual deal-a-day methodology a...
Time to face hard facts: Checking your Gmail inbox is not the most enjoyable thing you do during the day. To be honest, it can be quite boring, really. Reading, replying, trashing, and repeat; it never ends. Even using Priority Inbox doesn’t solve the mediocrity email sorting creates. Wouldn’t it be great if you could actually get recognition for your inboxing skills? Should...
