Fooled you! I love college humor! They are so right about how crappy the Zune is!
Cue angry Microsoft supporters flocking to my site.....NOW!

Why do people waste their lives creating spam websites?

http://spamclock.com/ is a great way to visually see how many of these unneeded, useless, no-one-likes-you, sites.

At the time I visited,1,488,896,517 have been created since 1/1/11 at the rate of 1 million per hour... Losers...

I can't wait until I see someone holding up a giant iPad to take a photo

CNN Doesn't Like The CR48, Huh. Let's Break him to the ground, right here.

So Mr. Mangalindan, I loved your new post on CNN, NOT.

Quote #1:
"it totes a single-core Atom processor and 2 GB of RAM, typical parts for netbooks that sold two or three years ago. (Now, if you pick up a netbook at all, it probably has a more capable, dual-core Atom.)"
-I'll have you know, my Dell Mini 10V, and MSI Wind, from the same time period as what you are describing, both had a single core Atom processor, and 1 GB of RAM, unlike the newer, HD Video capable, Pine Trail in the CR48's with included double RAM.


Quote #2:
"The cursor jumps around, pages sometimes load slowly"
-That's because you're to retarded to realize Google is trying to get rid of the click, by using two finger tap, scroll and single click tap.


Quote #3:
"more than two or three open tabs can slow work to a crawl."
-Sorry, the CR48 doesn't support the browsing of more then one porn site.


Quote #4:
"As for video playback? Hit or (mostly) miss. Netflix isn't supported yet, while YouTube and Hulu are only watchable at their lowest settings, though even then, they'll occasionally stutter. "
-Seriously? Netflix? It's a PILOT program, what the hell did you expect. As for youtube and Hulu, I think the 30,000 some odd CR48 users disagree.


Well, at least he likes the stickers. How unappreciative....

Micro Managing Your CR48 3G Usage? Here's How To Make It Last

Have a long car trip? Happen to own a CR48 with 100 mb free monthly? Here's how to make that trip great. I was able to browse and chat for hours on end while only using 20 MB of data.

First off, make sure you click the wrench and open Preferences. Under Privacy, click Content Settings. Turn off images.

There, done. Now stay away from flash and youtube. Also, if you really want to save data, visit the site http://blit.li/, which converts sites into only text.

Chrome Update #4: Ubuntu Dual Boot

Using the "Easy" Method, I ran the script twice and BAM, Ubuntu dual boot.

It's nothing to brag about, I love having crossover installed and the fact that I have a FILE BROWSER ;D

The Bad:
The function (top) keys don't work, along with the search button and right clicking (which I only use two finger tap anyway - so no effect on me). Since there is no delete key, that obviously doesnt work and neither does Grub. I wish I could dual boot without code/flipping the switch. Last of my negative rants, the 3G doesn't work.

The Good, The Great And The Awesome:
But negatives aside, it provides a killer OFFLINE mode, the friendly and well known "desktop" and I have the ability to run more than just web apps. Bluetooth is also unlocked in Ubuntu. The media player works as well as skype and running through my external drive, games and CAD using crossover. Also, I love using dual screen functionality.

Lastly, the Chrome Application runs pretty damn amazing, as on any computer.

How to Post A Chrome Web Store App Without Owning The Underlying Site

Now, this guide is for making temporary applications available to the public while the website you are trying to make an app for, makes one themselves.

Since I got tired of waiting for Gizmodo to post an app of their own, I made a Gizmodo Chrome App as an example.

To start, download my base app here: http://www.mediafire.com/?dnucf166lhf6m07
This will set you up with the correct layout and setup.

Once you open the manifest.json file, you will see this:



{
"name": "ENTER THE APP NAME HERE",
"description": "ENTER A QUICK DESCRIPTION OF THE APP HERE",
"version": "1.0",
"icons": { "16": "16.png",
          "128": "128.png" },
"app": {
"launch": {
"local_path": "NAME THIS HTML THE SAME AS YOUR APP NAME.html"
}
},
"permissions": [
"unlimitedStorage",
"notifications"
]
}

Pretty self explanatory. Next, open the HTML file and you will see this:

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://YOUR SITE HERE.com">


Add your site and you're almost done!

Now get your own images that are 16x16 and 128x128 and name them 16.PNG and 128.PNG


Now rename "Base App" to your app name and right click it again. Select "Send To" and click "Compressed Folder"

Now visit this link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard
and (If you didn't already) pay the 5 bucks and upload your app!
