Chrome Back in Beta & A New Voice

Just downloaded the new Google Chrome update and sent my faithful browser back into the hands of beta. So far all is working well the only downside is that rollover text presents with a block on either side of it, as well as the themes not being available for beta. For more information about the new Beta mode and to download the browser check out the Google Chrome Blog.

Also in Google news I recently joined the Google Voice crowed and am pleased to say it is a very interesting tool with some unique applications. I recommend applying for an invitation for anyone with a Google account, and those without should get a Google account. Google voice features include:

  • Accept a call
  • Send call to voice mail w/Listen in (allows you to listen in to the voice mail and jump in at any time)
  • Record Conversation (announces that the call is being recorded on both sides of the call)
  • Send SMS
  • Transcript of Voice mail and listen to voice mail from comp online

Update: The issue with blocks and themes has been fixed. 08/09
