Google's nieuwe webbrowser Chrome trok deze week veel aandacht met zijn op tabs gebaseerde interface, waarin elke tab min of meer onafhankelijk functioneert. Een Mac-versie laat echter nog op zich wachten; de huidige beta-testversie is er alleen voor Windows. Volgens Google-oprichter Sergey Brin zou de Mac-versie naar verwachting 'binnen enkele maanden' verschijnen. Zelf draait hij Chrome daarom voorlopig maar binnen het virtualisatiepakket VMware op zijn eigen Mac, "al weet ik dat het beschamend is".

I just read a frightening article in the latest Business Week (an excerpt from an upcoming book, The Numerati, by Stephen Baker). It seems to be the antithesis of everything I've been working on with the Creating WE Institute regarding workforce engagement and innovation.Apparently, IBM is spearheading a movement to "automate" management, with the idea of measuring every move employees make in

Last week, I received a message from Guy: "I LOVE Google Calendar! But... I wish I could set a reminder for a month in advance, instead of a measly 2 weeks. That is the only thing holding Calendar back from being truly awesome!"Thankfully for Guy, Google Calendar's event reminders are even more customizable: now you can choose any period of time between 5 minutes and 4 weeks. This works not only for the default notifications ...

Have you ever been stumped in finding the right words to search for? Back when I was planning my wedding, I had a list of wedding songs in mind, but the problem was that I couldn't remember any of the artist names or song titles. So I started typing into the Google search box parts of the lyrics that I did remember -- and like magic, I saw suggestions with the artist name and song ...

This feature is amazing! I've used it for a while and I'm psyched to see it move to the main page. That will make it easier to combine with the still-Labs feature of keyboard shortcuts.

I like Google Suggest, but I am not sure I would want to see it every time I visit the Google homepage. If I need a search query auto-completed, I typically use the Google toolbar. Hopefully, Google will provide a way to disable the suggestions for those who prefer not to see them.

You can now upload videos larger than 100 MB to YouTube without installing a dedicated software. YouTube started to use Gears to upload videos.The latest version of Gears introduces some new features that make manipulating large files so much easier. Gears now makes uploading large and multiple files on the web much easier, giving you the primitives to roll a resumable uploader, which means hopefully we can see custom desktop uploaders go away soon.

He, een iPhone met een doorzichtig scherm? Een laptop waar de groene blaadjes het beeldscherm uit bloeien en een hand die koffie tussen de toetsen schenkt? De nieuwste trick op fotosite Flickr heet transparant screens en leidt tot verbluffende resultaten. In dit geval is Photoshoppen valsspelen en kost een 'transparant screen' foto wel wat creativiteit. Je neemt een foto van de scene waarin je 'transparant screen' plaatsvindt. Die foto installeer je als beeldschermbehang op je ...

The services menu is available in every application, although the options within it are only available when copy or paste are active (depending on whether the service takes input, produces output, or both). Because this menu is nearly always accessible, it is possible to assign a shortcut to an item in it that will almost always be accessible. This method is not always available, but the upside is that there is not third party daemon ...

The first few weeks of school are probably going to throw you some curve-balls, too: your child gets bullied, the bus schedule is rearranged at the last minute (we lost a 6th grader for two hours the year before last when they changed the ...
