The OS certainly still matters. The statement that most games "can be played over the internet" is irrelevant, as they still have to "run" on your computer, and the statement that the "all the most popular games were made for the MAC as well" is just false and ignores Linux.

Actually I was wrong. There is a setup program if you change to it in CNU before you download. It doesn't replace the existing "release" version of Chrome, but installs it as a separate program called "Chromium". This will let you test the nightly build without messing up your "production" version. It still pulls…

Be careful... The nightly builds do not have any setup program, and are laid out in a way that is completely inappropriate for Visa. Vista doesn't keep Chrome in "Program Files" with the directory structure the nightly builds come in, but rather in "users/username/appddata/local. You are going to have to do some…

I have found that although I can't use Chrome as my day to day browser due to lack of features, it works really well to install Chrome, and use the "Create Application Shortcuts" to put a link to Gmail on my ObjectDock. Gmail opens twice as fast in Chrome than in Firefox, and although Prism is also fast, it has to…

This is interesting indeed. At first blush I thought it was another solution without a problem. A single click of the yellow star in the URL bar adds a page to the special folder "Unsorted Bookmarks" which can be used as a temporary holding area for things you want to get back to but are either not sure where to file…

I alway prefer a paper version of a book over electronic. I have never found a way of reading an online or downloaded book that beats laying in bed with about four pillow propping me up, my oreos and milk on the nightstand, and a good book in my lap.

Sorry that I completely hijacked your post Kevin. My bad.

Am I the only one that thinks that Chrome is more expectation and hype than it is anything approaching a viable browser? For crying out loud, there isn't even a way in the browser to export or backup your bookmarks. No plugin or addon support, no full screen mode, no popup blocker (no, there isn't, they still load…

Bit busy for my tastes too. I won't win the "most gadgets" award, but here is my desktop. Less is more...

So the latest version Samurize is 1 1/2 years old?

I prefer to download them and watch them when I want. I have a DVR of course, but with the downloaded ones there are no commercials, and I don't have to fast forward or anything. I also like to have them on my PC/DVD+R so I can watch them again a month or a year from now. Some shows like Deadwood or Firefly need…

VOTE: Firefox built in, with Download Statusbar extension. Don't see any need for anything else.

Actually, the bookmarking is pretty awful now that I play with it. There is no "recent bookmarks" folder that things go to by default. I have gotten very used to just clicking the yellow star when I come across a page I want to get back to, and it adds it to "recent bookmarks" without even popping anything up or…

Anyone figure out yet how to sort your bookmarks? There is no dedicated bookmark manager, and although you can drag and drop bookmarks around between folders, I don't see any capability to sort them...

I think there are some small but nice features from a usability standpoint:

@Sean O:

1) If you tell it to delete your "history" it seems to delete cookies too (I had to login here again after)
