Google released a new beta version of Chrome Tuesday, offering a better balance between software that’s stable but out of date on the one hand and cutting-edge but crash-prone on the other.
The new version offers a number of new features, including zooming that increases or decreases the graphics as well as text; autofill to ease the chore of re-entering information in Web site forms; and new tab-dragging features that let you dock browser windows to the sides of the screen.

And conversations with contractors, clients and friends around the world feel the same way.
Adobe AIR is marvelous. Simple as that. It takes either or all HTML, JavaScript, Flash or Actionscript and builds you a desktop widget that is compatible across all operating systems and can be used at any time off-line. There are very few limitations, and anyone with even a little programming knowledge could build an app with relative ease.
Download the latest version of Adobe AIR here: Adobe AIR 1.5.1 (15mb).
