Hands down, the coolest hack for Chrome

Who needs Ubuntu, Mac OS and umm, that other crappy OS! 

Just paste this into your URL bar and click enter. I've been playing with this hack for a good 20 minutes!

javascript:var i,s,ss=['http://kathack.com/js/kh.js','http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js'];for(i=0;i!=ss.length;i++){s=document.createElement('script');s.src=ss[i];document.body.appendChild(s);}void(0);

Yeah, no need to tell you to not enter it with quotes, because I didn't give you any.

Enjoy!

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!

Google Gives the OK to Hack Any Operating System, Directly

On the Google Group, one ninja wrote:
"Developer channel (a.k.a. "dev channel")

Currently, by default, your Chrome notebook is on our beta channel, and is regularly updated with our beta version releases. Compared to the beta channel, the developer channel gets updated with versions of Chrome OS that may contain new features still being built, some of which may not always work as expected yet. Folks on the developer channel may also at times experience more instability (such as crashes). To find out about how to switch between the two channels, see here.

Developer mode (a.k.a. "dev mode")

While we try to make your Chrome notebook as secure and user-friendly as possible, at the same time we want to support developers who want to install their own builds of a Chromium-based operating system or another operating system and be able to tap into the full capabilities of our device. As such, we've implemented a physical developer on/off switch on your Chrome notebook that you can use to turn on developer mode and install your own OS. To find out how to switch between the two modes, see here."

Why is Internet Explorer so slow? It may be because of Bing

Quote from the official Google Blog:
"As we see it, this experiment confirms our suspicion that Bing is using some combination of:

• Internet Explorer 8, which can send data to Microsoft via its Suggested Sites feature
• the Bing Toolbar, which can send data via Microsoft’s Customer Experience Improvement Program"

Now think about it. How could Internet Explorer be so slow unless it is sending tons of information back to Microsoft to add as search results to Bing. 

My suggestion: Chrome

The amount of sites who stalk you is increasingly scary...

If you use Google Chrome, which is the best browser in case you live in a hole, you can block all of these scary sites yearning for information on you:

Here is a perfect example: Gizmodo.com. Innocent right? I have seen up to 17 trackers. In this image, it only found 10.

Edit: Another site shows 30 trackers! 

In the extension's description, it shows an image with 21 trackers.
