From my experience Chrome installs itself into %appdata% to avoid requiring admin permissions. And not once has Chrome asked for my admin password on OS X.

Can't they just stop making changes that cause plugins and extensions to break? I know that would be easier said than done, but Chrome seems to do a good job of it.

I've been using Chrome for Mac ever since it was in early, buggy developer builds. I was using Safari before that, but only because Firefox on OS X sucks. For Windows, on the otherhand, I love Firefox so much. I do fine it's performance and

Well, not even. Facebook Check-in deals launched in Australia, with KFC being a big partner. It was expected that the average store would see 150 people redeem the deal a week when in reality each store would be lucky to get 1 a day, most b

I'm not sure what my uni's stance on torrenting is, but it definitely has not stopped me from downloading over 1TB of... "legitimately vague" content http://i.imgur.com/oQE4J.png

What I would like to know is how much of that speed is due to being 'on-net'. I know that speed is what the connection is capable, but if the server is onnet, then it is nowhere near realistic. Speedtest tells me I get 75mbps up/80mbps down
