What is Google Chrome OS?

Google Chrome OS post coming soon! Sounds like an interesting operating system, I wonder if it will take off. Follow me on Twitter to find out when I'll be posting.

Facebook Osama Bin Laden Post Coming Soon

There is a outbreak of a facebook virus that says click her to see Osama Bin Laden death photos but this is a scam, there haven't been any photos released and if you follow the link it will just post on your wall or you may get a virus depending on which one it is. I will have a full post with all the details soon.

BlackBerry Playbook

The iPad has yet another competitor with the release of the BlackBerry PlayBook. The BlackBerry PlayBook like the Samsung Galaxy Tab is more portable because it is not as bulky as the iPad. The PlayBook does have a big thing that the iPad, iPod touch and iPhone don't have which is flash support. It is surprising that the iPad, iPod touch and iPhone still don't have this and there was always talk that it was coming with the next update but it still hasn't came. The PlayBook also really advertises that with Blackberry Bridge you can really interact with your BlackBerry but iPad doesn't have these kinds of features. The iPad like any Wi-Fi device can join your phone's Wi-Fi network but you can't interact with your phone. BlackBerry advertises that by using BlackBerry Bridge you can get full email inbox functionality and you can also see all your contacts. I suppose the BlackBerry Playbook's demographics are different than the iPad; the BlackBerry Playbook demographic is more geared towards business people while the iPad isn't aimed at this demographic as much. The BlackBerry PlayBook is yet another competitor in the tablet computer market and there will surely be more competitors in the future.

Google Chrome

A few weeks ago I made the change to Google Chrome and I'm glad I did. Google Chrome as Google promised is faster than Internet Explorer. I was a bit disappointed at first when I first downloaded Google Chrome because there was no Google toolbar but fortunately I realized I didn't need the Google toolbar because in Google Chrome many of the features of the Google toolbar are already included like the feature that keeps you signed in to your Google account so you don't have to sign in again when you switch Google services such as going to YouTube and then Gmail. It is also nice not having the Google toolbar because you don't have a cluttered web browser and have more space to actually see the web page because in Google there are only your tabs, bookmark bar and address bar at the top of the page.

One of the other things I really like about Chrome is the add-ons that you can download. Overall in Chrome you can customize your browser. There are many add-ons in Chrome and in my browser I have an add-on for Google Calendar. In this add I can view and my calendar and add events without opening up a new tab. This is helpful if I just received an email about an event and I can just go to my calendar without opening up a new tab and copy and paste the event details. This add-on also has pop up reminders so you won't forget about an important event.

The security in Chrome is also a great feature While browsing I noticed a similar message to the one above warning me that the site has been known to have malware on it. This a great feature in Chrome because then you don't visit sites that have malware and it is better having being warned about malware then getting malware and then having to deal with it.


Another feature in Chrome that I really like is the download bar and the download folder. In Chrome whenever you download something the download bar comes up and shows the files you are downloading. Everything you download in Chrome also goes into a download folder this makes it easy for you to find files you downloaded because they are all in one place (you can also select other places to save files, the download folder is just the default).

Google Chrome is a much better web browser than Internet Explorer and you should consider upgrading if you want add-ons for your browser, more security and less clutter so you can have a better view of web pages
