Today, Google officially released Chrome 25,Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome Frame browser framework users will be automatically updated, upgraded to 25.. Chrome 25 comes with many new features, new speech recognition API, prohibition of extension/plugin silent install.

Google said Chrome 25 supports Web Speech API, developers can use this API in the speech recognition functionality into their own applications.

Chrome 25 through third-party programs install extensions is disabled by default. When a third-party program installed an extension for Chrome, Chrome tip box will pop up, and sets out the extended permissions, for example, it can access all of your network data, read and modify your bookmarks, access your tags and browsing activities. In addition, through external Setup before all your installed extensions will be disabled automatically, Chrome displays a disposable tip through the “expansion set” you can re-enable them all or part of it.

Starting from the Chrome 25, its Native Client Development Kit (SDK) supports ARM devices (previously supporting Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS).

According to foreign media reports, Google recently being developed for Chrome a new features tab – the audio indicator, you can visually see the browser for which a label function that may be running. Fran ç OIS Beaufort first took note of the new label, he said, he discovered the feature in the latest Chromium.

Chromium is an open source Web project, it provides the same with Google Chrome’s code and functionality, and also the first to release the latest features.

Here is the video features Beaufort as a recording experience.

Beaufort pointed out that Google was to launch such a label is to remind the user may label feature of the browser is running that have not been hit.

United States IT Web site CNET published today named as buluke·kelaozesi (Brooke Crothers) according to Google Chromebook Pixel notebook has the Apple MacBook is missing two key features, Apple should probably redefine the MacBook now.

Chromebook Pixel released: Apple should redefine the MacBook

The main contents of this article are as follows:

Thank you, Google. My MacBook can be eliminated.

Question is: what is the MacBook missing two key hardware feature? My answer is: touch screen and 4G.

Coincidence is that Chromebook Pixel has both of these features. Google said that as far as the touch screen Apple notebooks do not have this feature.

Might some people will not agree with my point of view. They say the touch-screen is stupid feature, and a columnist, said that it was a pointless feature. As the mouse is a dumb idea.

But the problem is that Google had been aware of the importance of touch screens for notebook. Google on this issue and the idea of Microsoft the same (Windows 8 and Surface), this made Apple into a disadvantage.

Some people might say Chromebook Pixel more 4G than the MacBook, because Chromebook increased attention to cloud services. However, my Macbook also requires extensive use of cloud services, 4G this is a laptop with features.

What about operating systems? I think the hardware is better to attract consumers to experience a primary factor in the new operating environment.

Although progress Chrome OS remains to be seen (missing many critical features you need), with the success of Android, I think Chrome OS and the improved second-generation Chromebook Pixel to attract more consumers.

According to the Wall Street Journal (hereinafter referred to as WSJ) reported that run Google recently has started developing touch-screen version of the Chrome OS notebook. WSJ said that although there is no any news of who will be responsible for the equipment of production, Chromebook but it is expected that the series will be available for sale in the second half of the year.

Chromebook seems to have a touchscreen is a big adjustment for Chrome OS, it will need to contain desktop-style interface, based on role must also must make the best use of touch screen.

This scene appears only once, after refreshing is gone, thanks to deft on hand … … Text is in English, “understanding Chromebook, produced $ 249 Google Notebook, suitable for everyone. “On top of the most frequently visited Web sites.

United States advertising agency 72andSunny will begin to create ads for the Google Chrome browser. 72andSunny as Samsung has produced a satirical humor of Apple ads. In the past 4 years, Google has been working with advertising agency BBH, making user-centered “Chrome story” ad. Advertisement content including father on daughter’s childhood, and how the boys recover girlfriend, featured a more emotional road.

72andSunny is likely to continue this to impress the users inner form of advertising. But Google also could follow Samsung’s practice in order to achieve viral humor to win.

BBH said in a statement: “our participation in this project is coming to an end. For operational reasons, Google has decided to cooperate with another ad company, open the next stage of Chrome. This is the end of us Chrome, but we will continue to work with Google to cooperate on many other projects. ”

Google believes that Red Hat RHEL 6 Enterprise releases are out, announced Google Chrome no longer provide updates for RHEL 6. Red Hat EMEA Evangelist Jan Wildeboer has published a screenshot on the Google+ (pictured), show notifications “because your operating system already outdated Google Chrome is no longer updating.”

Red Hat Enterprise releases are updated only a few years at a time in order to have long-term stability. Wildeboer believes that Google is forcing users to switch to other browsers.

Francois Beaufort found that Google has started to build a new network protocol known as QUIC, Chrome will support first QUIC and alternatives we use UDP (User Datagram Protocol) Protocol. From Wikipedia’s interpretation of UDP User Datagram Protocol:

User Datagram Protocol (User Datagram Protocol, UDP) is a datagram-oriented transport layer protocol of simple, formal specification for RFC 768.

In the TCP/IP model, the UDP network layer and application layer provided a simple interface. UDP provides unreliable delivery of data, once it sends data to the network layer to the application, you do not retain data backups (UDP is sometimes considered unreliable datagram protocol). Head of the UDP in the IP datagram just joined the multiplexing and data verification (field).

UDP header fields is made up of 4 parts, two of which are optional. 16bit the source port and destination port used to mark the sending and receiving application process. Because UDP does not need an answer, so the source port is optional, if a source port no, then reset to zero. In the port of destination followed by the length in bytes of fixed length field, specifies the UDP include the length of the data portion of the datagram, length minimum value of 8byte. First left 16bit is used for the header checksum and data section (Checksum), this part is optional, but in the real world are usually used this feature.

QUIC also seem to be focused on streaming, it also will increase the reliability of a built-in encryption layer and some of the basic controls. Google started the project at the end of last year, have been integrated into the Chrome browser a few days ago, has now become core components of Chromium.

Google has been trying to reshape the Internet core protocols in order to promote faster and more reliable, more secure Internet.

Chromebook Pixel was officially released yesterday, and interesting is that Google has joined the Konami Code Easter egg in a product, which is commonly used by many years ago about about running up and down the contra BA cheat codes. This also isn’t the first time Google used this cheat codes, 2008 years Google Reader I’ve used this cheat codes trick.

After you open a notebook and type a string of characters, show LED lamp with a light show, and of course it as an Easter egg, on the PC without any help, is purely to provide after the good memories. Google did not make any observations on the egg.
