		<description><![CDATA[Poor Google. Every time it unveils a new Chromebook, like the $249 version announced on Thursday, the company gets confronted with critics who think the concept has no business existing. You can&#8217;t blame people for being skeptical. The new Samsung Chromebook, like all its predecessors, is little more than a Chrome web browser running on a laptop. It raises questions about why anyone wouldn&#8217;t prefer a more full-featured laptop instead, and one that isn&#8217;t as crippled without an Internet connection. I&#8217;ve made the case for the Chromebook once before, when I reviewed Samsung&#8217;s Series 5 550 in June. My argument was that Chromebooks strip away the baggage of other laptops, things like long start-up times, viruses and extraneous keyboard keys. Trimming the fat allowed the Series 5 550 to focus on things like slim design, a solid keyboard and trackpad at a low price. If you spend most of your time on the web, it was a fine choice for a secondary computing device. The problem with my argument then was that it didn&#8217;t address tablets. Devices like Apple&#8217;s iPad and Google&#8217;s Nexus 7 also ditch the baggage of traditional laptops. They are thinner, lighter and often cheaper. They&#8217;re mostly safe from viruses, and they resume from standby in a snap. With the cheapest Chromebook now less expensive than many tablets, the relevance of Google&#8217;s browser-based laptops is worth revisiting. I still think there&#8217;s value in the Chromebook, because unlike inexpensive tablets, it&#8217;s still capable of providing the experience of a desktop browser. I know, I know. Mobile is the future of everything, right? But in the present day, sometimes the mobile-optimized, appified version of what you&#8217;re trying to do just isn&#8217;t good enough. When that happens, you need a laptop browser, and you want it to be up and running right away. I can think of a few personal examples: Gmail is better on a laptop. You can see more messages at a time, use search filters and type faster on a real keyboard. Tab management is easier on<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=148914&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Oprah&#8217;s last show. A nation mourns. A software company in Norway, however, probably breathes a sigh of relief. Turns out the team at Opera Software, who make a neat little web browser of the same name, have for years been fielding incorrectly addressed emails intended for Oprah Winfrey. Opera. Oprah. Easy mistake to make. Mid-way through dealing with customer support requests, bug reports and the daily business of running a software company, Opera would also be asked for things as varied and bizarre as tickets to Hannah Montana shows, mathematical conundrums, and whether people with a story to tell could be on Oprah&#8217;s show. Opera&#8217;s Communications Manager Pål Unanue-Zahl told TechLand: &#8220;There are tons of Oprah emails in our support database, sent to the automatic system. They all got an auto reply, stating that the email had been received by Opera Software but only a few were answered in person.&#8221; Rumors saying Oprah Winfrey was planning to open her own software support consultancy after leaving showbusiness remain unconfirmed at this time.

I really hope not. &#8220;Google might kill the what?&#8221; You know, the URL bar. Or the Address Bar. &#8220;The what?&#8221; The thing at the top of your browser window that displays the URL, the address, of the website you&#8217;re looking at. &#8220;Oh. That. I never look at it.&#8221; Don&#8217;t you? &#8220;No.&#8221; Why not? &#8220;All that http whatchamacallit junk. It doesn&#8217;t make any sense to me, so I don&#8217;t bother to look at it.&#8221; Ah. You should, though. &#8220;Why?&#8221; Because that&#8217;s one method scammers use to scam people. Especially when they&#8217;re phishing for personal data. They send you to a website that looks like your bank, or like Paypal, or like Amazon, and ask for your password. But if you looked carefully at the URL bar, you might notice that the address displayed there isn&#8217;t correct &#8211; it&#8217;s a fake. That&#8217;s one reason phishing works. &#8220;Sorry, what did you say? I got bored and switched off for a moment.&#8221; Scammers take advantage of the fact that people don&#8217;t bother to keep an eye on the URL bar. They take you to a site that looks like Paypal, but the actual address might be paypalaccounts.com, or paypal-login.com, or something like that. Something that looks plausible, but is actually owned by the scammer. &#8220;Meh. I depend on my browser&#8217;s security settings to detect that kind of stuff for me. Most browsers can alert you when you arrive at a page like that. Including Google&#8217;s Chrome, actually. It has tickbox in the preferences called &#8216;Enable phishing and malware detection.&#8217; I just leave that on and don&#8217;t worry about watching the URL bar.&#8221; So you think this idea for a hideaway URL bar, one that only pops out when you need it, is a good one? &#8220;Pff. Yeah. I guess. I don&#8217;t really use it, so why not?&#8221; Don&#8217;t you ever type in website addresses? &#8220;Are you crazy?&#8221; Type them in.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s time to say farewell to Flock, the social browser that promised so much but never really caught on. Promised so much? Like what? When Flock first appeared back in 2005, it said it would revolutionize the way people use social networks. It came with social features baked-in, making it much easier to browse sites like Flickr and stay in touch with friends via Twitter and Facebook. Over time it added more features, like the MyWorld tab, which was set as the home page by default. It brought together social stuff and RSS feeds and other bits and bobs, pulling them all into one place for easy and quick monitoring. Flock was a great idea for Facebook addicts, who simply had to share their every online action with Facebook friends. It won awards and got decent reviews, but the appeal was limited. If you weren&#8217;t a social network nut, there wasn&#8217;t a compelling reason to switch to Flock. And not enough people were social network nuts. In January this year, Flock was bought by Zynga. This week, the end was announced: &#8220;Support for Flock browsers will be discontinued as of April 26th, 2011. We would like to thank our loyal users around the world for their support.&#8221; If you&#8217;re still using Flock, its new owners recommend you switch to Chrome or Firefox. No time like the present.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=77235&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re running the latest version of Google&#8217;s Chrome web browser, you can now talk to the internet. It won&#8217;t listen, and it won&#8217;t do what you say, but it will recognize what words you&#8217;ve spoken. Which is a good start. The beta of Chrome 11 includes support for a speech input technology, part of the HTML5 standard. That means that if someone makes a suitable webpage, you can issue commands and instructions to it just by speaking. Needless to say, someone has made such a page: this one. It might not look like much, but it works. If you&#8217;re using the right version of Chrome, you can click on the little microphone symbol to the right of the text box. A little &#8220;Speak now&#8221; bubble pops up, and you just have to think of something interesting to say. Like most speech recognition systems, it doesn&#8217;t get everything right first time. But it does get a decent amount of things right, and considering it&#8217;s being done without the need for Flash or any other special software plugins, that&#8217;s pretty impressive in our book. This is just a technology demo, it doesn&#8217;t actually do anything. But it might be a pointer to the future. In a few years time, the days of clicking on links might be over; you might just say them out loud instead. Which could make office life more interesting&#8230; (Via TechCrunch)<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=72332&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Internet Explorer 9 may have gotten all of the attention a few weeks ago, but let the browser wars begin because the final release of Firefox 4 makes its appearance today. That’s right – it’s no longer in beta. The final build was available yesterday through Mozilla’s FTP servers, but the folks over there aren’t keen on users overloading their servers, according to Lifehacker. Instead, you can grab it from FileForum for Windows, Mac and Linux… or just wait for the final release to post on the website. In addition to a new look for the browser, the update includes significant improvements since the last official release. If you haven’t used any of the beta versions, the speed increase in the leap to Firefox 4 will be noticeable and improved. Some of the more obvious changes include new tab locations, the ability to sync across multiple devices and the ability to organize tabs. Among of some of the things under the hood include increased privacy protection, full HTML5 support, and updated crash protection.

		<description><![CDATA[Google just saved you as much as 50 seconds a day. That&#8217;s almost six minutes per week. Over five hours every year. Wow. Thanks Google. How did they do it? Well, yesterday Google engineers announced a change to the code used to display AdSense ads all over the web. The announcement is aimed at web developers and goes into technical detail, but the gist is this: if you include AdSense ads in your web pages, they&#8217;ll load considerably faster from now on. Your browser will start loading the ads, but still be able to load the rest of the page at the same time. The net result? Those pages load about half a second faster. So if we assume that the average web user browses about 100 web pages per day (we didn&#8217;t pluck that number out of thin air &#8211; we plucked it from this conversation on Quora), and do a few calculations, we reach the yearly saving of 5.2 hours. That&#8217;s enough to wash the car, watch a movie, and stack and unstack a dishwasher. And maybe squeeze in a few other chores too. Thanks Google! The nation&#8217;s aggregated todo list is grateful.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=71555&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just 24 hours after its release, Internet Explorer 9 has been downloaded 2.35 million times. Or, that&#8217;s also 27 downloads every second. Whichever stat you prefer. After its appearance last Monday night, the other browsers are not to be left out, and they are right on Microsoft&#8217;s tail. Lifehacker just confirmed that Firefox 4 will finally be released five days from now, on March 22. Opera also drops its 11.10 beta release today as well. Internet Explorer 9 is going to have some competition, especially in the privacy arena. Along with some user interface changes, it includes some updated graphics rendering and supposed HTML 5 support. I&#8217;d guess I&#8217;d be more impressed if it wasn&#8217;t for the fact it&#8217;s already so prevalent on Windows systems. I&#8217;ll hold out judgment until Firefox gets pushed out, and then we&#8217;ll talk. (via The Windows Blog) More on TIME.com: Chrome vs. Firefox vs. IE: Which Update Wins the Privacy Wars?

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps in an effort to whip up Apple-esque levels of pre-launch hype, Microsoft has announced that it will hold the global launch of Internet Explorer 9 at South by South West next week: Monday 14th, at 9pm Pacific time. The first IE9 beta was released in September last year; a Release Candidate version (sort of halfway between a beta and a full release) was unleashed in February. Reviews of these two versions were mostly very positive. People remarked on the cleaner, simpler styling, and on the minimalist feel. It&#8217;s quite a radical change from the feature-creep-ridden versions of old. It&#8217;s much faster than before, much more standards-compliant, and comes with useful things (like a Flash-block tool, and a combined URL/search bar) that pro users will love. There&#8217;s also a feature called Pinned Sites, which lets you drag a web page to your Taskbar, where it will stay, looking for all the world like a separate application. This is a great way of keeping an eye on webapps or sites that you keep open all day long and return to frequently. It&#8217;s worth watching the video on this blog post, which is full of interesting nuggets of information. Over 8000 people have sent in feedback during the beta period, and it&#8217;s clear from the tone of interviewees Dean Hachamovitch and Ryan Gavin that their comments have been taken seriously by the IE9 developers. If you can&#8217;t wait until next week&#8217;s formal release, there&#8217;s still time to take IE9 for a test drive over the weekend.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=69661&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sick of Google telling you what to read all the time? There&#8217;s now an extension for the company&#8217;s Chrome web browser called Personal Blocklist that allows you to oust sites you don&#8217;t want showing up in your search results. Once installed, each search result will contain a link to block its associated site from showing up next time. Your blocked sites can be unblocked from within the extension&#8217;s settings or by clicking a link at the bottom of your search results that&#8217;ll show up when certain sites have been blocked. Information about blocked sites is also sent to Google, which should theoretically help search results get better for everyone over time. More on TIME.com: Want To Make An Easy $20K?

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re like most people who use the web, you may be unaware that many of the sites you visit have been taking notes about your browsing behavior. These notes are stored in tiny files called cookies—everyone likes cookies, right?—and are used by several large advertising companies to build what&#8217;s supposed to be a non-identifying profile about you full of information about the types of sites you visit. This information is then used to serve up online ads that appeal to you based on your interests. It may also be sold, too! For instance, let&#8217;s say &#8220;Big Online Ad Company&#8221; serves up ads on a bunch of the websites I like to visit. Not all of them, but many of them. It knows, based on the cookies it&#8217;s stored on my computer, that I like gadgets. Well lo and behold, I tend to see a lot of online ads for gadgets as I browse the web. Though Big Online Ad Company isn&#8217;t supposed to know my name or address or anything like that, it sure knows a lot about me anyway since I spend a lot of time online. And how can I really be sure that none of the other companies that do the same thing as Big Online Ad Company haven&#8217;t stored information about me that I don&#8217;t want them to have? So believe it or not, some people don&#8217;t like the idea of being tracked like this. Even the Federal Trade Commission doesn&#8217;t like this, as evidenced by its recent proposal of a &#8220;Do Not Track&#8221; mechanism that would effectively let users opt out of being tracked online. (More on TIME.com: FTC&#8217;s &#8216;Do Not Track&#8217; Is More &#8216;Please Don&#8217;t Track&#8217;) While the FTC&#8217;s proposal outlines more of a self-policing system for online advertisers to follow, the companies that make the web browsers people use to get online are already taking steps to let people opt out proactively. Google appears to be one of the first out of the gate with today&#8217;s &#8220;Keep My Opt-Outs&#8221; extension for its<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=64283&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
