Using extensions in Chrome

Why hello there,

As you all may know Google’s Chrome is able to update itself to newer versions without telling you about it. And as it happens we are already using the 3.xx version.
For some reason Chrome does not upgrade itself to the new version 4.0.249.78 in European countries.

Luckily, the company still lets you upgrade your version manually; just click the wrench in the right upper corner and click “about Google Chrome”. Here you will be able to install the version 4.

After restarting the  browser you can now

Synchronize bookmarks

This feature will upload your bookmarks to your Google Account. You can access them again in your Google Docs. Of course, now you can synchronize these bookmarks with your browser on your other machine. So that’s great allthough most people already use Delicious for this however it’s never a bad thing to see such a thing integrated in the browser itself.

Install Extensions

Even though Extensions where already available in version 3 (one need to add a command line to enable) Extensions are now fully supported. One can imagine that now a whole bunch of users that preferred to use Firefox because of it’s extensions will now become fulltime Chrome users.

To install extensions just click the Wrench icon again in the right upper corner and select Extensions. A great number of extensions is already available and the number is rising every day.

Now give us Firebug for Chrome please!

iPod Shuffle Sweat/Moisture problems

drowningshuffleIn a follow-up on my previous post on my iPod troubles i did a quick research on the official Apple forum and it would appear that scores of Shuffles are dying because they have virtually no resistance to sweat and/or moisture.

Ironically, most people use these small iPods to go running etc. One would expect a solution from Apple quickly but so far the company has chosen to look the other way.

Fixing the problem:

So one thing you can try to fix up your Shuffle is to glue or tape a piece of Saran wrap over the remote control. This method is of course not guaranteed to work in all cases but it’s better then chucking it away.
