A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
Last week, we saw Acer unveil the first Chromebook to ever equip a numeric keypad (and only the second to implement a fingerprint scanner).

There are plenty of users who leverage Chrome’s Incognito mode on a daily basis, but for many people, Incognito Mode isn’t nearly as secure or private as you would think. As a matter of fact, lots of websites can still leverage cookies while you are on the site and track you as long as the […]
Flagship, high-end Chromebooks come through our office with high regularity. We love them and we love getting to try all the latest, greatest hardware on offer from various, well-known manufacturers.
PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) have been around for quite some time, but at Google’s Chrome Developers Summit back in November, functionality for support of PWAs across the board was kicked into overdrive.

Nearly six months after Google’s most recent hardware event in NY, we’re all still sitting here scratching our heads and asking “where is the Pixelbook 2?” By now, I’m sure many have abandoned hope that a refresh of Google’s flagship Chromebook is even going to happen. To you I would say, there is still hope. […]
Chances are, you’ve heard of the website Rakuten. Lately, the world-wide e-commerce company has saturated the airwaves with commercials featuring cash kiosks where real people win real money for pronouncing the Japanese company’s name correctly. The campaign is pretty catchy and it has brought the online marketplace to the forefront of the U.S. consumer arena.
Wallpapers for your Chromebook are a quick, handy way to spruce up your desktop and make your device as unique as you are. The best part is that changing your background can be done is a few simple clicks and it will sync across all of your devices. Last October, with the release of the […]
