Google Chrome 10
A nice feature of Google Chrome 10 is being able to rearrange the apps on the new tab page. I also found the ability to sync apps under settings. For some reason I never saw that before. I had different apps at work, laptop and home desktop, clicked sync apps, and they aggregated together. Did a slight rearrange and they are nice and orderly. yeah, or w00t as some of my friends say.

Chrome OS 10
I got the Chrome OS 10 upgrade today. I love the quick and easy updates unlike Firefox and Explorer. A nice feature of the new version of Chrome is the ability to move the apps on the new tab page. I have already rearranged and organized my apps.
It is a little funny reading comments on the chrome apps. all of the chrome apps are web based by design, and people don't like the fact that they appear like apps but are actually bookmarks to another webpage. Even people that have "grown up" during the age of app still have the mind set that the software has to be downloaded to your device, computer, phone, tablet. That is just nonsense and is not the long term future, which will be in the cloud.

Chrome Cr-48 Volume Controls
For some reason the volume control and mute buttons on the key board is not adjusting the volume. I have reported the bug and will let you know if the volume control returns. Sound card is working, just can't adjust the current volume which is rather loud.
On a positive note- love the battery life and the fact the I can see how long is needed for full charged, in addition to seeing the amount of charge remaining.
Update 3/5 7pm. Volume control has returned. Yeah!

Travel with the Chrome CR-48
Earlier this week was my first recruiting trip with the Chrome CR-48. Quick set up with the hotel wifi and I was set. Still loving the chrome laptop.
The Spring Hill Suites in Fairfax VA is a very nice hotel that was recently built. Great service and beautiful lobby and room. Most important- good water pressure.
Also the Chicken parm at the Fairfax Macaroni Grill was suberb.
