The developer build of Google Chrome for Mac has been released. This version is a lot more stable and polished than Chromium, which is the open-source browser that Google Chrome is based on. Chromium also used to be the only way to get Chrome on your Mac.
Although Google Chrome for Mac is only now available as a developer build, you can safely install it as a secondary browser. It’s fast, clean, and has an awesome address bar. In fact, I am writing this post in Google Chrome for Mac now. Seriously, you have to check it out. You can grab your copy of the developer build for Mac here.
Google Social Search is live! This new Google Labs product allows users to search their social circles on Twitter, FriendFeed, Picasa, Blogger, and Google Reader. If you search for anything, Social Search will include results from those networks. Check out this video by Google’s Matt Cutts:
I love Feedly. In short, Feedly presents all the articles in your RSS feeds in a magazine-like layout.
Instead of displaying a list of articles in chronological order, Feedly determines which articles you would be interested in and places them near the top of the page. Feedly also doesn’t focus on helping you read every single article, so that means there is no annoying unread articles number. You only read what you want to.
Feedly syncs with Google Reader, which means that all of your feeds, read/unread articles, and categories are always up-to-date no matter which way you should choose to access your feeds.
I have all of my Firefox installations set to use Feedly as their homepage, so I can easily see the latest news from across the web. Give Feedly a try!
Mozilla Labs, Mozilla’s innovation group, has developed a new open-source, experimental email and communication platform called Raindrop. Mozilla says that Raindrop was built to be focused on highlighting and breaking out personal conversations, making it easier for you to see all of your conversations in one client. It is designed to “bubble up” the important conversations from your messages.
Interesting article over at Wired about the Large Hadron Collider:
If you’ve read about all the troubles scientists at CERN in Europe have been having getting the Large Hadron Collider to work, you must have had the same sort of thought about the failures as some such scientists have: Obviously, a time travel paradox is to blame.
Need a stand for your iPhone or iPod touch? You could spend $30 for one. Or you could make one with a paperclip.
Instructions for making your own iPhone stand out of a paperclip can be found here. This stand is lightweight, yet very sturdy. It’s great for watching movies and TV shows.
I use Twitter primarily for finding out what’s happening in the wonderful world of technology. The problem is that it’s not easy to follow and keep up with all of those links. Enter Readtwit. After authorizing Readtwit using Twitter’s awesome OAuth integration, the aggregator will crawl your Twitter stream on a regular basis. It follows any links it finds, and it automatically takes all of the webpages it finds and packages them into a neat little RSS feed. Simply subscribe to the feed in your feed reader of choice (mine is Google Reader) and let Readtwit take care of the rest.
