  • How to Block Ads in Google Chrome

  • Run Google Chrome in Ubuntu with WINE
    One helpful Ubuntu hacker blogger posts a guide to getting Google Chrome working as a stand-alone app in Ubuntu, using the latest version of the Windows translator WINE and a stand-alone copy of Chrome's installer. If you're not about to mess with WINE, try putting an emulated Chrome in its own window with our guide to running Windows apps seamlessly in Linux , or wait until the open-source browser eventually makes its way onto the open-source OS.

  • A Hands-on First Look at Google Android
    As an open source advocate and developer with a serious love / hate relationship with my iPhone, I couldn't wait to get my paws on a device running Google's brand spankin' new open-source mobile phone operating system, Android —and I haven't been disappointed. I've spent the last four days using an HTC G1 phone running the first release of Android, and while it is not an iPhone-killer, it is a killer device for heavy Google users (like you and me). Let's take a look at why Android does—and doesn't—live up to its hype. Note: Since the iPhone I use as my primary phone is my sole experience with a touchscreen smartphone operating system, I'm going to base my Android observations on it, even though the iPhone is not the only touchscreen OS out there.
