by Talton "phases" Pettigrew on April 25th, 2011

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.

by Talton "phases" Pettigrew on April 21st, 2011

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 [...]


Manage And Save All Your Tabs To The Cloud With TabCloud

by Chris Chavez on April 19th, 2011

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.

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?

Can’t Subscribe To RSS Feeds In Chrome? Now You Can!

by Donovan Leiber on April 15th, 2011

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. [...]
