Checkboxes are Back in Google Docs
Google Docs tried to get rid of checkboxes in the new UI, but users complained and the feature is now back by popular demand.
"This is actually a hybrid of checkboxes and the more recent selection model. So you can use checkboxes, but you can also still use Ctrl or Cmd to select multiple items. Another one I like a lot, is to use Shift to select many consecutive items at once (click on the checkbox of the first file, scroll down and hold down Shift when you click on a checkbox further down the list, this will select everything in between)."
Checkboxes may seem unnecessary, especially considering that people rarely select multiple files, but they're a familiar interface element that's easy to use. Not many people know that holding down Ctrl lets you select multiple files, even though it's a standard feature in most operating systems.
{ Thanks, Cougar. }

8 ways to fix RIM with a reality check
Chrome Shifts Into a New Gear
Chrome 12 is now available in the stable channel and all the Chrome users can try the new features.
1. App search in the address bar.
2. Clear Flash cookies (or Local Shared Objects) using the "Clear browsing data" dialog, instead of visiting a webpage.
3. Chrome Sync no longer uses a modal dialog and it's now properly integrated with the tabbed settings page.
4. Safe Browsing borrowed a feature from Internet Explorer 8: checking downloaded files for malware. Right now, this feature only works for Windows executables and shows a small message in the download bar.
5. No more Gears in Google Chrome. You'll no longer be able to use any app that relies on Gears to provide features like offline storage or web workers. The only Google service that still used Gears was Gmail.
6. Hardware accelerated 3D CSS (or 3D transforms). Chrome's blog suggests to try "Shaun the Sheep", an experiment that uses WebM video and 3D CSS to create an immersive app.
7. Chrome for Mac asks for confirmation when using Cmd+Q to quit the application. "When you press Cmd+Q, it brings up the floaty panel telling you to hold the key combo. When you do, it quits after 1.5 seconds." That sounds annoying.
8. Print and Save buttons in the PDF viewer.
9. A better interface for adding start pages.

Google Experiments with Removing URLs from Search Results Listings
Google tests a new feature that replaces the URL with the site's name in search results snippets. David, who noticed this change, says that he searched for [madvertise] and "most of the results looked normal, with the website title, snippet and URL. However, two search results displayed the website name instead of the URL. In the attached screenshot, the 6th and 7th results show 'LinkedIn' and 'Facebook' respectively, in the place where the URL should be."
Google has always tried to make search results listings more useful, but replacing the address with the site's name doesn't add value and draws unnecessary attention to the results from a list of hand-picked popular sites.
{ Thanks, David. }
