Google Chrome Now Has Ad-Block!

Google updated its Chrome Browser with support for extensions, APIs, and syncing your Chrome bookmarks to Google Docs. The best extension, of course, is Ad Block. Kiss your ads goodbye! Another nifty extension is the Google Voice extension. It puts a little Google Voice icon on the minimalist Chrome menu that signals when you have a voice mail. Click on it to place a call, send a text message, or go to your inbox.

I think Chrome is now finally ready for the prime time.

High temperatures would dehydrate survivors quickly, and disease will be rampant unless controlled.

This post will briefly describe the setup process and features of the DS210j.

New Layout For Firm's Website

I use Google Analytics to keep track of my firm's website. It showed that there hasn't been sufficient click-through on the articles posted on our website. I decided to rearrange the navigation bar of the website in a bid to change it. Take a look and tell me if it works.

CDC: US Fears Swine Flu Shot

A poll shows that many Americans fear the safety of the swine flu vaccine even though it has been shown to be safe and effective. Thirty-five percent of Americans say that they will not get the vaccine, and of those, sixty percent say it's because of safety. The CDC doesn't know why so many remain fearful, but fear-mongering by Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh probably has something to do with it.
