Looking at Chrome OS now will show you a browser and not much else. The latest release of the platform, which just started seeding to developers, is looking to change that, though. There is a taskbar, called shelf, and an app launcher, reminiscent of Apple Launchpad.

It all runs on the hardware-accelerated Aura window manager. It brings a refresh to the OS visuals and transitions. This shows a step away from simplicity and into usability, and should bring Chrome OS much closer to its rivals Windows 7/8 and OS X.

The developer version of Chrome OS (build 19.0.1048.17) also brings support for new file types tar, gz, and bzip2, better support for multiple monitor setups and updates to the music and video players.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Google indoor maps initiative ultimately will not do us any good if we cannot figure out where we are standing in the first place. With that in mind, the folks in Mountain View are taking measures to improve indoor positioning accuracy with a new app known as Google Maps Floor Plan Marker for Android. It Is important to emphasize that this app is intended only for those that have provided the company with floor plans for an indoor venue. Google flatly states that the software will primarily be of interest "to map enthusiasts and venue owners," and hopefully that disclaimer will be enough to ward off erroneous downloads.

 

 

Those that have taken part in the program will now have the opportunity to survey those corresponding indoor environments and help fine tune Google geolocation abilities for a particular space.

 

We first heard rumors about Google augmented reality Glasses a few months ago, and now in a post on Google Plus, the company revealed "Project Glass" along with some early concepts and prototype designs. These specs look like the freaky science fiction concept they are.

 

Watch The Video Below first and get back Here.... The Video will show you what the world would look like from behind these smart glasses. It is like Iron Man except instead of important world-saving information you are answering your friend text messages and learning about delays on the subway. The Google [x] team that is working on the project says they have opened it up to the public to solicit ideas about what people actually want from a set of augmented reality specs.

 

 

 

 

Google Glasses basically seem like a smartphone notification system that allows you to respond to notifications in with your voice in a very beautiful geeky shape-glasses, Without any info about its specs or how its connectivity work... is it Wifi, 3G with a nano-sim or using your android phone connection to get notifications and video calls (like you saw in the Video below), but the problem is how the people will react for this product when its released ? and What will be the estimated price for this high-tech smart glasses.
