Making Chrome even more app-ealing
Making Chrome even more app-ealing: From sharing photos, to collaborating on documents, to enjoying online games, web apps make the web fun, useful and entertaining. Since the beginning, Chrome has been designed to allow apps to do more, faster. Today, changes in Chrome make it even easier to access your favorite apps and discover new favorites.
In the latest Stable release of Chrome, we’ve completely redesigned the New Tab page. It’s more streamlined, so it’s easier to access and organize your apps in different sections on the page. Watch the video below for a quick tour.
To add more apps to your New Tab page, click the Chrome Web Store icon. The Web Store also has a new look:
Apps and extensions are now presented in a wall of images that’s updated every time you visit the store. We hope this will help you quickly scan the store and find interesting things to try out. In addition, apps and extensions are easier to install—just hover over an image on the grid and click “Add to Chrome.”
Getting additional information about an app or an extension is just a click away. When you click on an app, extension or theme, you’ll see a panel featuring screenshots, videos and other relevant information neatly organized into separate tabs. The store also includes a brand new reviews interface that links to the Google+ profile of each reviewer. (To protect your privacy, we made sure to anonymize any reviews that you previously submitted.)
Along with the new look, a bunch of new apps have joined the store. I’m personally excited about My Robot Nation™, an app that lets you design your own robot and bring it to life with a 3D printer. There are plenty of new games to play, including The Godfather: Five Families and Fieldrunners. And for those of you still looking for a Halloween costume, check out the brand-new eBay shopping app.
We have many more features on deck, and we’re looking forward to making the app experience in Chrome even better soon.

Google CR-48 Goodness - Google+ Invites
Image via WikipediaI've been away from this blog for so long now, I'm probably hopelessly behind in what I should have been sharing all along. The CR-48 is still incredible. I'm on the dev channel still, and in the dev channel we're working on Chrome 14 goodness. The number of apps and extensions for this machine are becoming larger all the time, and the types of apps and extensions covers just about anything you can imagine.I was lucky enough to score a Google Music invite, so I've been slowly uploading my 3000+ songs (my bandwidth isn't the greatest, so everyone in the family yells when I'm uploading) and it's great to listen to the music on my CR-48 (with the Google Music extension) or my android phone anywhere I go.
Another things that's been keeping me pretty busy, is finding a job. Finally found one, but it took 4+ months, and 4 months is way too long to be out of work. My creditors are not as patient as I'd like. ;-)
Another great thing is Google+. It's a great substitute for facebook, I really like it a lot more. Since most of the people I'm following right now are other Chromebook pilots or tech-minded people, there is a lot of great information posted to read through. And I also use it to bookmark a lot of information that I want to go through later. If you'd like to try out Google+, here's an invite for you: http://goo.gl/wrzFt.
Well, gotta go. Hopefully I can spend a little more time here in the near future. Leave me comments, or look me up on Google+.
