The Best Google Chrome Extensions
In: web resources
15 Jan 2010Last month Google, finally, opened up there extension directory for Google Chrome. The bog-standard browser is pretty good as it is – its very fast (beating Firefox with ease) and seems to render most web pages properly (I know, it wouldn't be hard to beat IE). So, thumbs up so far. Now with the added functionality of extensions you can make Chrome just as powerful as Firefox, and as a bonus you don't seem to lose any speed, something FF struggles with.
It all sounds good, doesn't it… There are some down-sides, though – some of the extensions are a little bit buggy (most are still in Beta) and others do lack a fair bit of polish. But if you choose your extensions carefully you will be able to build yourself a great web browsing environment.
Remember, the extensions directory has only just opened, with time Chrome and its extensions may just win the web browser war… Then again Firefox may come back fighting back, it always has done, hasn't it?
In today’s news round-up we have collected the best resources to help you choose best extensions for Chrome.

Well, part of it was the fact that microsoft wanted to have a browser included with Windows that made it easy for its customers to get online as soon as they had windows installed. At the time, netscape charged for its browser and microsoft decided to just give it away for free, ultimately trying to weave it entirely into the fabric of Windows itself before antitrust stuff got in the way (i still find all the hubub over that rather silly, its microsoft's product and they can do what they want with it, they never prevented other browsers from being installed). In essence, microsoft was innovating from the standpoint of trying to have a good all in one OS/Web browser setup vs having to go get one after installing or without microsoft paying netscape or someone else to include a browser with windows.

Hi Jazz! Well, I see that you want an extension to your house, particularly on the second floor, but there's really not that much more you have given from which to work off of in order to give you an idea. What's the square footage we're talking about? Plus, you know, the cost of building material and labor greatly varies by location, so what or another person says on here will highly unlikely be aligned with the relative costs of your area. So, I suggest that you really consider contacting local remodeling contractors in your area to see what it would cost to have them do the addition for you.
Call the local remodelers and get their free estimates. In fact, for your convenience, here is a handyman site I use often, which has a section devoted to home improvement articles, where you'll also find towards the far left bottom of the following home improvement page a bright, kind-of-orange home-guru Bob Villa-endorsed ad that offers up to four (4) Free estimates that can be given to you very fast from local remodeling contractors in your area (again, this free-estimate offer is towards the very left-bottom of the following linked page):
Like I said, get a hold of some local remodelers. In exchange for giving them work, you also might be able to get a good deal on the material from the remodeling contractor, since, usually, they have access to wholesale pricing on building material given the great amount of installations they do. That's the way to go.
Good luck with your project!

I tried the community college run for a bit and they were very outdated in the software they had, so I got my web development degree at ITT. I enjoyed it very much, and even though our main teacher was insane, I still learned a lot.
With that said, I dont yet have a job in my field because once I was out of school, I decided I didnt want to develop web apps for the rest of my life, and Im back at ITT for the Bachelors program in computer security so I can go work at the CIA. They hired 3 grads last year, so Im hoping for the best!
As for online teaching, Ive never tried it, but I dont trust it either
