It was announced today on Google's official blog that a new version of their web browser, Chrome, was released for Mac. The new release includes features such as the ability to sync your bookmarks with other Apple devices. The new version of Chrome is available directly through Google or as an update for existing Chrome users.

In my opinion Google launching a new version of its flagship browser, Chrome, is a good thing. The number of Mac users in the nation is growing. It is important that leading technology companies do what they can to adjust to this demand.

In her blog, Riding the Short Bus, Kat has an article about a Louisville, Ohio man who for some reason decided to tattoo the letter A on a one year old's behind. The man in question apparently did not have permission from the child's mother to do so. He is in custody on one count of endangering a child. The suspects grandmother doesn't feel that it is right because it is just a tiny tattoo. Being a substitute teacher herself, the author has some interesting insight on the matter.

Educational

The Dummy Essentials blog is an easy to read blog that breaks technology down into layman's terms very well. In one of the first posts the anonymous author describes the importance of having only one antivirus on their PC. Any computer technician will tell you antivirus is an essential key to keeping your computer working properly. Having more than one antivirus can make both programs conflict with each other causing neither one to function properly. This of course leaves the user vulnerable. He also explains how multiple antivirus programs sometimes see each other as threats. There are many other posts on here and the author's post on Windows 7 suggests they will stay with the current technology.

Political

An article on CNN's website talks about the hectic schedule former president Bill Clinton had before having his emergency surgery. The president was in the midst of working with the relief efforts for the victims of the Hatian earthquake. He had been hospitalized on Thursday in New York, complaining of chest pains. Two stints were placed in the former president's heat. The blog post is just another way CNN is offering coverage of people helping this horrible disaster.
