Back when Google Chrome launched, I downloaded the beta, played with it for a few minutes and promptly uninstalled it. Dismissing it as pointless and redundant (not to mention not nearly as good as Firefox).
Recently I found out my brother uses Chrome and I asked him why and he mentioned a couple of things that got me interested in trying it again: It launches faster than Firefox and each tab runs in its own process so if one tab crashes it doesn't bring down the entire browser.-Deozaan (July 14, 2009, 08:35 PM)
Don't know if this is common practice these days, but the one who thought this up deserves to be taken out back...-Shades (May 23, 2015, 09:06 AM)

Hardcore Gamer Mom In China Gives Birth In an Internet Cafe, Goes Back to Gaming-Arizona Hot (May 21, 2015, 12:12 PM)
Ok... that's way beyond f'd up. I get the joke... but stuff like that should just be a joke and not reality. Just... wow.-Renegade (May 21, 2015, 12:20 PM)
The Daily Mail says she was just surfing the web, she didn’t have enough money for a motel so hung out in the internet café. Also she gave birth in the bathroom stall not near the computers. There are surveillance images of her coming out of the toilets.-pdragon57
From what I get from the Chinese source, my read of the situation would be: she had a fight with her family that caused her to leave home to travel to another province, then her money got stolen. Internet cafes are open through the night, and the birth took place at four in the morning - I suspect she went there more for a cheap place to stay than to satisfy her gaming/internet addiction.
The details surrounding the birth (it took place in a toilet, she was shaking, she refused to wash the blood of her hands) sound pretty terrible, that's why I suspected she might have suffered from some kind of shock or breakdown, which might explain why she sat down in front of the computer again and appeared calm (admittedly, I'm no psychiatrist).
So there is probably some combination of factors that made her refrain from going to the hospital until it was too late - e.g. she had no money, she had a fight with her family, she was in a foreign town.
All in all, I feel bad for her and hope she and her child will be alright.-Nocturama
In Edge [aka Project Spartan], the new tab page -- which appears whenever the user requests a new tab -- is much busier, filled not only with images of the most-frequently-visited websites, but also news and other content from MSN, as well as apps Microsoft happens to highlight.
I'm considering...

I believe that Chrome updates extensions similarly to how Android updates apps: If it doesn't require any new permissions, it silently updates. If the new version requires new permissions that you haven't previously granted it, it still updates it, but disables it until you explicitly give the OK.-Deozaan (May 14, 2015, 01:46 PM)
In my (admittedly limited) experience with my Nook, it asks me, each and every time that an app wants to update. They're on my notification screen, and I have to respond in order to get it to actually download and install the updates.-wraith808 (May 14, 2015, 05:47 PM)
