Mac and GNU/Linux users have long enjoyed the ability to glimpse a thumbnail overview of all running windows on a particular desktop, triggered by a hot key or hot screen corner (Windows has Switcher as of version 7). This feature is probably most widely known as Exposé, Apple’s brand for the viewing mode. It’s a fast way to find an application when… Read more
Apart from placing in Business Insider’s top 25 “hush-hush” NYC startups that you need to know about, exfm (formerly Extension FM) hasn’t received anywhere near the amount of attention it deserves.

And it looks as though Google might be the first to bring access to such content to the masses. All of the big browser companies have been working to standardize and implement 3D technology into their software for the past year. The tech is called… Read more

But I was still pretty thrilled to have one dropped at my door this morning, not having mentioned anything about DroidDog in my… Read more
Is your heart all a-flutter for Google’s nondescript, soft-touch, rubberized Chrome OS notebook, the CR-48? Well, not everyone can get in on Google’s early CR-48 testing program. But we can live vicariously through the lucky ones. So, after you’ve watched PC World’s unboxing video, and read about Geek.com’s “first 48″, check out the new entry for the… Read more
This has been quite the day for Google and it’s Chrome branded line of products. At the Chrome event that took place earlier today, the present and future of Chrome was discussed in depth and included topics ranging from the newly released Web Store to the first ever Chrome based netbook.
