Google’s Chrome has quickly been catching up to both Internet Explorer and Firefox in terms of amount of users, and the browser is even expected to pass Firefox within one year, only a few years after its Sep. 2, 2011 debut.
Appearance
The two things first-time Chrome users will notice are probably the browser’s speed and simplicity. Google has been known to simplify its other services, and there is no exception with Chrome.
The first thing users will notice after the extremely quick Chrome 15 install is the New Tab Page. This page includes bookmarks, recent sites, favorite sites, and a separate tab for Google apps. The usual title bar is replaced with a tab bar on top and navigation bar right below it. Chrome’s menu has...

Today’s television lineup is largely composed of dramatic medical shows, suspenseful police shows, and the occasional pairing of two opposite personalities. I had high hopes for “New Girl,” Fox Network’s new sitcom starring indie darling Zooey Deschanel. Ideally, this new show would be a breath of fresh air.
I hoped for a knock-out, cleverly written series with an ensemble cast that would hopefully evolve into something as memorable as “Friends,”?“How I Met Your Mother,”?or “The Big Bang Theory.”
With a talented cast including Max Greenfield, who had a recurring role on the award-winning “Veronica Mars” series and colorful wardrobe pieces that reminded me of the short-lived yet ...

“Contagion” brings to the big screen what would happen if an unknown pathogenic germ/virus started spreading throughout human contact.
Globalization increased the amount of time it would take for a virus to spread. In the 17th century, a ship voyage from Europe to the Americas took an average of 57 days. Today, a Boeing 747 takes about 6 hours, 15 minutes to travel from England to New York. It would take less than 24 hours for an infected host to travel around the world infecting people, the unknowing people spreading the disease into their families and continuing an unstoppable chain reaction.
Produced by Steven Soderbergh, “Contagion” brings to life a thriller that shows the good side of humanity and the bad. As fear...

No Devolucion is the sixth album from New Jersey post-hardcore outfit, Thursday. Already well-known for their breed of post-rock and hardcore punk fusion, along with brooding lyrics, this album should not come as a complete surprise to old fans of the band, though they also toy with new sounds and poppier hooks in this album, trying to tread away from their post-hardcore roots.The album kicks off with “Fast to the End” which features bass dives and incredible technicality from bassist Tim Payne, pummeling drums brought by Tucker Rule, and blazing guitars from Tom Keeley and Steve Pedulla, which is completely familiar territory for the group.“No Answers” is when the newly added elements begin to shine, beginning with an almost Kanye...

When watching reality television, I usually do it to make fun of dumb people or to feel somewhat normal with my hectic life. This was not the case at all when I started watching an episode of TLC’s “Extreme Couponing.”“Extreme Couponing” just sent me on a rollercoaster of emotions. I felt shocked at how people could get out of a store paying only a mere fraction of what would originally ring up to be hundreds of dollars at retail price.I was even more shocked when I found out there were coupons you could exchange at a store, that would even send you a rebate rate back, so in turn you end up making money for buying their product. Where had all these secret discoveries been all my life?Being thrifty is something we can all learn a...
