It has been well over a year since we discovered work being done that would bring “dark mode” to Chrome OS. By now, I really thought that developers would have wrapped this one up but apparently, it’s been a greater undertaking than I presumed. Every time I get a Canary update, I look for “dark […]
Chrome apps have been on the chopping block for four years now.

Hard to believe but the Discovery Channel’s “wildly” popular Shark Week is now in its third decade of production. Now in its 32nd season, Shark Week began as an entertaining effort to educate viewers about common misconceptions while helping draw attention to preservation of the species. The week-long even was a hit and his since […]
We now have a closer look at how Parallels will bring Windows to Chrome OS in the coming months but for the general consumer, it simply won’t be an option. In the latest release from Parallels, the company clearly states that this collaboration with Google is meant solely for Chrome Enterprise customers. The means you’ll […]
