From web search, to email, to maps, to cell phones, to browser, to OS?

Have you heard that google is consolidating its global empire to a new operating system called Chrome? If not, you may wish to check it out in this article.

CNET Review of Google Chrome OS

I think I'll have to check it out when it comes out. The fact of the matter is, i spend most of my time on a web browser instead of on the desktop. If you are like me, then you will realize the implications of cloud computing. I hope you enjoyed the article.

Don't freak out. I haven't stopped blogging.

I know that you guys are wondering why your hearts still beat and why brains across the world haven't imploded due to my lack of presence on this blog. Don't deny the yellow glory!

I wish I had some epic Lord of the Rings battle that has prevented my fingers from touching a keyboard, however, the reality is something more destructive and disappointing than fighting a million orcs with a glowing blue blade. I dropped my laptop. **gasp**

Yes, it fell out of my backpack, hit the floor and half the screen decided to die. And when I say half the screen, I literally mean it 50.672% of the screen is unusable. In case you are wondering, I didn't measure the screen to get that percentage, that's ridiculous. I looked at it and perceived the exact measurement with my laserly slanted eyes. **Holds up quotes** "Laaaaserrrr."

So, guess what has become the new media center in the Pang household? My 50.672% laptop is now hooked up to the television in the living room. This, although works, is not the most desirable situation. It may seem cool to type up blogs while chillin on the couch, but making vidcasts are a pain in the butt.

However, never fail my little yellow disciples, I will continue to produce the same level of asian awesomeness you've come to love and depend on...like a crack addiction, I hope.

And yes, the rumors are true, I do want a mac. I realize this may put some people on a hospital gurney, but it must be done for the sake of my sanity and the hungry minds that need yellow sustenance.

Well, until next time yellowites...Keep it real by keeping it yellow! Or slanted. And maybe a little short. Yes, yellow, slanted, and short like a banana.

VisableVote: iPhone app compares your views to your representative

Yesterday, I found a new app called Visible Vote. It's a handy new app created so that you can:

1. Send a letter to you legislators through your iPhone.
2. Track how your legislators are voting on bills you care about.
3. Vote on the same bills as your legislators and update your legislators on your vote.

Also, the app provides feedback on how your votes compare to theirs and will send you an overview of the next election so you know who to vote for or against (This last one I have not seen myself yet). Someone start an election! STAT!!!

There is apparently a facebook and blackberry version and all are free. My favorite word, FREEEEEEEEE!

I digress, I played with this app for a little bit and I think I may love the "Write Legislator" option. Boxer, Feinstein and Miller will know true Pang. BTW, check out how my votes stack up to theirs.





<---Mwuahahahhahahhaha




<-------Are you surprised?



<-------Eat that Miller!





Anyway, I hope this app serves you well. I can already see it does for me. **Evil cackle ensues**
