Chrome Apps Episode 6: Flow Colors (Video)

Have you ever had one of those days where you just feel down in the dumps? Last week there were a lot of things going on through my head and I needed something to do to take my mind off of things. I remember reading an article saying that people should play a game of Tetris to forget some kind of trauma that they may be experiencing. The reason to this is because if you play a game of Tetris it makes you focus on the organization portion of your brain making you think more quickly on getting the pieces in the right order rather than whatever event you may be having problems with. I took that advice into mind and started to browse the Google Chrome App Store. I went straight for the games and found one right on top of the list called “Flow colors”. At first I thought the game looked familiar but then I remembered it was a game one of my friends showed me on their Ipad. So I already knew how fun this game was...

Chrome Apps Episode 5: Cut The Rope (Video)

                  While browsing through the Google Chrome App store I kept finding this game with a cute little monster on the cover on it. At first It caught my attention, but I decided to look away from it for a little bit longer. But on one boring Saturday afternoon I decided to shrug my shoulders and give the game a shot.

I was kind of right, but not exactly right. The story goes as follows.

It’s not the greatest of plots, but it does make you want to feed this little bugger some candy.

However the application “My Chrome Theme” makes creating themes much easier

Google Chrome OS: Taking a place in the market

Google Chrome OS was first thrown into the computing world several years ago with the prototype reference notebook, the CR-48. Since then, It has come a seriously long way in terms of feature set and supported hardware devices from various manufacturers. 

I decided it was about time to re-evaluate the position of Chrome OS and Chromebooks in the current market with the rise of cloud based services and web apps. Of course, this OS does only appeal to a limited market - but sales figures and the world of media has assumed Google's very own OS a solid place in the world of modern technology.

The benefits and drawbacks have to be closely examined, for example the current support for offline editing of office documents - but overall the experience is getting better by the day, almost down purely to third party developers.
