You’ve probably already browsed other tech blogs and know the basics: Sexy Matte Black, starts up quick. Here’s my issue for the day, and one I haven’t seen addressed yet: the Power [...]
Welcome to my pseudo-blog. I’ll be experimenting with a completely cloud-based computing experience using a new Chrome OS Cr-48 laptop, compliments of the nice nerds at Google.
