Keep on Install Google Chrome

Keep

Google was released a few weeks ago with objectives quite clear: Allow users to create, edit and synchronize notes across the web. The Web version of the platform was the first to appear, accompanied by an app for smartphones and tablets with Android 4.0 or higher.

Google

far presented no desktop client to Keep, although released an interesting application for Chrome . The utility does not offer extra features but is a good resource to manage the service easily, without relying on the Web version that resides in Google Drive.

2013 May 15 11 34 28 e1368630525548 Keep in Install Google Chrome

Keep

for Google Chrome is available for several days but has less than 170 thousand users a pretty poor number for a product of the company’s Mountain View. Surely this is because the application is available in Chrome Web Store but not accessible from the browser .

enter shop browser and enter “google keep” (without quotes) in the search engine will not appear in the results.

2013 May 15 11 59 07 e1368630582513 Keep in Install Google Chrome

To install Google

Keep in Chrome is necessary to have the direct link to the application. Once there simply click the button “Add to Chrome” and wait for it to complete the installation.

2013 May 15 11 41 06 Keep on Install Google Chrome

A click on the Google icon Keep (which appears when you open a new tab in your browser) is sufficient to open the application, which runs in a separate window . As created or edited notes are synchronized in the cloud, it is mandatory to log in with a Google account.

Google Keep 2013 05 15 February 12 25 Keep on Install Google Chrome

Keep

for Google Chrome can create plain text notes or lists, links and images added . In addition, all tickets are identifiable with colors to make it easier to sort and recognize. Needless to say that the client can edit notes created from the app or the web version and annotate even without an Internet connection.

Best of the application for the Google browser is works on both Windows and Linux distributions and Mac OS X . If you want to open without entering first Keep Chrome can create shortcuts on the desktop, the application menu or the taskbar.

Maybe not the most complete alternative to synchronize notes, but it works well and is cross-platform, so it deserves a chance. What features or characteristics believe that Google should add? Comments are open to your contributions.

    PlayBook eliminate the option to install apps from unknown sources

    620x340 playbook1 PlayBook eliminate the option to install apps from unknown sources

    An unexpected announcement released days ago from Research In Motion. The Canadian corporation announced that upcoming BlackBerry Playbook removed support for installing applications from unknown sources . The idea is to minimize apps possible hacking pay.

    The news was announced by Alec Saunders, vice president of developer relations at RIM, who said on Twitter that the company does not want to suffer the same piracy problem facing many Android developers. The executive even referred to as Google Play “a chaotic black hole” .

    Essentially what matters here is that the playbook users can only download and install applications from BlackBerry App World . Still do not know when it will release the update that will block the “sideloading” but several developers have already shown their dissatisfaction with the elimination of simple and complete method for testing apps.

    Commenting on the issue said Saunders to find a viable alternative to the developer community, but gave no further details. Be seen whether the executive’s statements cause a particular reaction within Android, since according to anonymous sources more than 25% of applications for Google’s operating system are downloaded illegally.

    We look to the information appearing on the subject and to keep you updated of any new development.

    Install your Linux distro for network via the Internet

    first_main_article” class=”article readability=”54″>

    Although normal in installing a Linux distribution is to do with a Live CD (or DVD) and the traditional graphical wizard, you can also do a network install , and then only we have to use an image of a few Mbytes, for example the image of Ubuntu 11.10 we only occupies 23 Mbytes.

    Network Installation Install your distro 0 500x373 Linux over a network, via the Internet

    This installation method is very useful if you have a network connection acceptable as it allows us to select which want installed, we can choose our desktop environment is GNOME, KDE, Xfce or LXDE, or if we use our system as a mail server, web server, and so on. That is, our minimum image will help us if we want to install Ubuntu on a computer and Kubuntu another if you want without having to download or order two different CDs.

    this installation method also allows us to have our newly installed system fully updated , because when we connect via network download and install the latest updates available in the repositories, as opposed to the installation traditional first thing we have to do anything else install our system is to upgrade that forces us to restart our system to be completely updated.

    Once we have recorded

    our image in a bootable our system, choose the language want, then tell the keyboard going to use, choose the country where we are and our repositories will be automatically created.

    network installation 1 500x378 Install your Linux distro network via the Internet

    Later

    we configure the network connection (if access through a proxy can configure). Once at this point to determine our location configure the system time and we will partition the drive can choose the recommended option if that is our wish.

    Once at this point the installation wizard network download the latest version of the basic system and we will install it on your hard drive, this process will take a while depending on the speed of our connection Internet, so we can go to take a drink or a coffee if we want to. Once installed the basic system we add our user ask you want to install. Not install anything by default , so it is important to select which desktop environment you want to install, we will use the space bar.

    Once we have chosen

    do we install we can only hope to finish the installation, restart our computer care to remove the CD to start and we’ll have our system fully installed, fully updated and ready to use completely customized to our liking PHP 5.x .
