Frustration - why Chrome OS will always be so close, yet so far

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm doing more and more in a web browser these days. I create documents and pictures on a website, I check my email account via the gmail website, I connect with people via social networks (I rarely text) and I'm certainly not likely to stop that any time soon.

Raven - the evolution of browsers?

A few days ago I reviewed Epiphany's awesome website-to-app converter, which saves a website, grabs its icon and turns it into a separate app for that site. Developers at revolutionary browser Raven (specific for OS X) have developed a similar idea.

The Rise of Sync

Since the birth of the internet (sort of), it's been storing files which can be access by anyone on line. More recently, new technology such as dropbox have taken file sharing one step further and allowed for automatic synchronisation of folders over the cloud. But now there's more.

The icon and exclusivity

More and more frequently I see the standard text link, which has fuelled the internet for as long as I can remember, being replaced by picture links - and specifically icons. This change has come about as a result of necessity, aesthetics and convenience - but it's consequences are often overlooked.

DIY web apps

Epiphany - a small web browser available for Mac OS X, Linux and (although nobody cares) BSD - may not be the most advanced browser around, but it's certainly got a big fat USP as of a recent update. Users can now hit shift-ctrl-A on any site to save that page as a web app. The web app can then run separately from the browser, just like any desktop app.

A twitter client in the most literal sense possible

Is everyone listening?

Having to repeat yourself may not be the most annoying thing you ever have to do, but it's up there along with arguing with an idiot and using windows. I find it just as annoying when my friends are scattered over several social networks and I need to get a message to everyone - log on to google plus, write message, log on to twitter, copy and paste, log on to facebook, copy and paste - it's a lot of effort.
Of course, it's always useful to keep your friends in one place, but the next best thing is linking up your accounts.
