I've ordered photo prints and designed custom wall calendars with Shutterfly before, but two or three years had passed since I last used the service. When I logged in again recently, I was reminded of all the features I found so satisfying then?and now. Shutterfly delivers high-quality finished products, although you'll pay a dollar or two more for it than you might on other sites, like Snapfish and Zazzle. But Shutterfly is the best make-your-own service you'll find for photo products, and thus, our Editors' Choice.
The only service I've encountered that matches Shutterfly's excellence and ease-of-use is Mixbook, but Shutterfly's final products are ever so slightly higher in quality.
Sizes, Styles, and Price
To test Shutterfly, I designed a custom photo wall calendar, a typical?dare I say requisite?annual gift among my family members. Shutterfly's options are a 12-month calendar ($21.99) and an 18-month calendar ($26.99), both of which measure 11 by 8 inches. If those dimensions strike you as too small, you might find Mixbook's 14 by 11-inch ($34.99) or 12 by 12 square ($29.99) calendars more to your liking. On CafePress, the only option is 11 by 8.5 inches, although it's available as either a 12-month ($19.99) or 18-month ($24.99) calendars.
Price-wise, Shutterfly defines the high end of the range for 11 by 8 calendars, although it's only a few dollars more than the lowest priced option I've seen over on Zazzle ($17.95).
Because CafePress and Zazzle both target the small business market, you can nab a better deal when you buy in bulk with those services. And both those services have a huge catalog of customizable products, and are more known for things like t-shirts and baseball caps. If you just need one or two paper items, though, stick with Shutterfly or Mixbook. Mixbook only has photobooks, calendars, and cards, while Shutterfly does offer quite a few more items, like mugs, blankets, mouse pads, and canvas prints. Shutterfly's templates have as much style and variety as Mixbook's, and both services let you further customize the templates, page-by-page.
Online Design Tools
When I started my 2013 calendar project, I logged into Shutterfly and found all the images I had used previously still stored in the system. Shutterfly lets you organize images, too, into folders and projects.
I started my project by choosing a template from the several dozen that Shutterfly provides. The selection varies from cutesy to chic, and I had a hard time choosing among three templates that had the smart and sharp look I wanted. One slightly confusing thing about the templates is you won't see a full bleed (that is, photo that takes up the entire page) option, but it does exist. Within any template, you can always choose how many photos to place on each page, and the single image option has a sub-option to place the image across the entire page. Second to that is a "classic white" template, which puts your images on a plain white background.
Shutterfly gives you insight at every step about how your finished project will look. Preview a template for a calendar, and you'll see a thumbnail for all 12 or 18 months' pages on the far right side of the screen. When you're nearly finished with a project, Shutterfly forces you to preview it one final time to check for typos or other problems, and it even flags your attention if it finds an image that might not print correctly or text that doesn't fit into its box.
The editor itself is straightforward. As mentioned, you can choose how many images to place on a page, and also select how they'll be displayed: centered, tiled, tilted, staggered, etc. Some of these sub-templates leave room for text in case you want to add a caption or quote.
You can choose on which month to start a calendar, tick off which holidays you'd like to see displayed, pen in family birthdays and events, and even add a custom image to a day?like grandma and grandpa's photo for their anniversary.
Shutterfly, like Mixbook, handles image uploading with aplomb. Both sites offer bulk uploading that worked well when I used them.
If you don't have photos you want to use on hand, Mixbook can pull them from Instagram, Facebook, Flickr, PhotoBucket, Picasa, and SmugMug, but Shutterfly only connects to Facebook and Picasa. It does, however, have some integration with other software, including Adobe Photoshop and Apple iPhoto, that speeds up photo importing, too.
Once you choose the images you want for your project, they appear in a bin at the bottom of the design workspace. A checkmark icon appears on each one after you place it in your project, helping you keep track of which images have or have not been used.
My personal favorite feature in Shutterfly is the preview. Because I have a professional background working in print media, I know all too well how easy it is to overlook an error before sending a page to press. Text and images get cut off, typos appear seemingly out of nowhere?it happens. Shutterfly, however, lets you know when it might happen by flagging for your attention any possible errors it finds in a mandatory preview step. Ultimately, it's up to you to correct the problems, but it's always helpful to have a second source of quality control.
Excellent Quality, Slightly Higher Prices
You can rely on Shutterfly for excellent quality photo products, from wall calendars to custom greeting cards and stationary, although the prices may be a dollar or two more than you'll see on other services. Shutterfly is easily our Editors' Choice for making customized photo products. For any items you can't find on Shutterfly, try CafePress or Zazzle, which boast much bigger catalogs of goods.

Moments after they watched a parade at a theme-park in Orlando, Fla., a New Hampshire couple suspected of beating and burning the woman's 3-year-old son was arrested.
Jessica Linscott and her boyfriend, Roland Dow, were taken into custody Wednesday evening at Universal Studios, U.S. marshals said.
"I find it very sad that these two were located in an area designed to bring joy and happiness to children," U.S. Marshal David L. Cargill Jr. said.
Linscott, 23, and Dow, 27, had been on the run for two weeks after arrest warrants were signed for them Nov. 13 in New Hampshire. They were wanted for allegedly causing significant head injuries and burns to Linscott's son.
Police had received a call two weeks ago from Exeter Hospital, in Exeter, N.H., where the boy was being treated. He was later taken to Children's Hospital at Dartmouth in Lebanon, N.H., where he was recovering after surgery.
Tips helped to track down the couple, Rockingham County Attorney Jim Reams said.
"We were feeling pretty confident 24 hours ago that we were going to have them soon," Reams said Wednesday.
Law enforcement officials spent "countless hours" trying to find Linscott and Dow, who are from Plaistow, N.H., a town of about 8,000 residents in Rockingham County, marshals said.
Marshals looked for the couple all day Wednesday and at the end of the day found them while a crowd was breaking up after the parade and they were headed back to the theme park's attractions area, said David Charles, deputy criminal investigator for the U.S. Marshals Service in Orlando.
"They were totally surprised," he said. "They had no clue."
Linscott is accused of failing to get medical attention for her son when he was suffering seizures from a head injury and of failing to protect him from harm. She's charged with multiple counts of child endangerment.
Dow is charged with assault. Police say he struck the boy hard enough in the head to cause traumatic brain injury. He also is accused of burning the child's fingers and wrist. Police also have charged him with multiple counts of child endangerment.
The couple had said the injuries were self-inflicted, but doctors rejected that. Police have said the boy's condition is improving but that his recovery will be long and difficult.
Linscott and Dow were in jail on Wednesday and couldn't be reached for comment by telephone.
It wasn't clear when they would face arraignment in Florida on fugitive from justice charges. If they waive extradition, they'll be immediately returned to New Hampshire.

(Reuters) - Google's biggest advertiser is neither a bank nor a retailer.
It's the for-profit University of Phoenix, which has recently been spending nearly $400,000 a day on ads, according to search analytics firm SpyFu, more than any financial firm or retailer, the traditional big spenders on online advertising.
That kind of spending may seem surprising coming from a college, but marketing has become vital for the university and its for-profit rivals as enrollments plummet and they fight back against a host of criticisms, including low job-placement rates.
Colleges such as University of Phoenix, the industry leader owned by Apollo Group Inc, will not only have to boost enrollments to reverse their fortunes, analysts say. They will also need to consider cutting tuition fees as well as continue to slash costs and take market share from rivals.
Operators of other for-profit colleges, whose ranks include the Washington Post Co's Kaplan business, DeVry Inc and ITT Educational Services Inc, are also boosting their spending on marketing and are among the 25 biggest advertisers on Google.
But no one is spending like the University of Phoenix, which doubled its spending on Google ads to about $380,000 per day on average between October 12 and November 12, compared with $170,000 a day in the previous month, according to SpyFu data - which Apollo describes as "gross speculation."
"I have witnessed several versions of this cycle but none as extreme as this," said Trace Urdan, an analyst with Wells Fargo Securities, who has been covering the U.S. for-profit education industry for about 15 years.
"We are going to see more pointed efforts at marketing and more price competition in an effort to try to capture more market share both from each other as well as from traditional schools," Urdan said.
Increased marketing alone will not be enough to fatten fast-shrinking profit margins and increase enrollments, however. Lower tuition fees and increased specialization of the type of programs offered, along with further streamlining of operations, will also be necessary, analysts say.
Industry bellwether University of Phoenix, which offers courses at about 230 campuses as well as online, announced plans last month to shut about half its locations and cut 800 jobs in order to save about $300 million a year by 2014.
New enrollments in the Apollo system are down nearly 50 percent in the past two years. As of August 31, enrollment totaled about 328,000.
Career Education Corp, which owns American InterContinental University and the Le Cordon Bleu colleges, and Lincoln Educational Services Corp have also announced closures.
LOW-COST MODEL
The $25 billion industry, which typically serves adults looking for a career change or a program to enhance job skills, is reeling after government investigations revealed fraud related to financial aid, worryingly high student debt loads and low rates of graduation and job placement.
"Many for-profit colleges make decisions that prioritize their bottom line, even when those decisions limit their students' opportunities for academic success," a U.S. Senate report said earlier this year.
Tuition fees, and therefore profits, is one area under pressure as potential students need to be convinced to take out loans in an uncertain job market.
Apollo, whose stock has lost about 65 percent of its value this year, implemented a tuition freeze earlier this year and promised students it will not increase prices through the course of their programs.
Apollo is also looking at different cost models, with a view to serving segments of the population that it cannot serve with current University of Phoenix tuition prices.
"We have certainly seen a lot more competition at the lower end of the price scale, and that's something we are focusing on," Apollo spokesman Mark Brennar said, while declining to offer specifics.
Wells Fargo's Urdan said it is likely that Apollo wants to compete in the low-cost end of the market by building a second brand, which it would likely do by acquiring another college rather than starting from scratch.
As colleges lower their revenue base by cutting tuition fees even as they spend more on marketing, lower margins could become the norm, analysts say. That has spooked investors already worried about sliding enrollments.
The S&P 1500 Education Services index has lost three-quarters of its value since April 2010, including a 50 percent decline in 2012.
Some for-profit colleges already differentiate themselves in the crowded higher-education market by offering programs in a particular field or by targeting students of a particular background, and that trend could accelerate.
American Public Education, for example, is known for enrolling those who work in the military and public services, while Universal Technical Institute offers programs related to the automotive industry.
For-profit colleges play up their links to employers to attract students who may otherwise opt for traditional or community colleges, said Rob Lytle, head of the education practice at advisory firm Parthenon Group.
"They are about getting people workforce employability skills, and I think they are going to be focusing tighter on that," said Lytle.

PITTSBURGH (AP) ? Ben Roethlisberger can hold his newborn son Ben Jr. in his injured right arm just fine, thanks.
When the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback will be able to say the same about a football, even he's not sure.
Roethlisberger practiced in a limited role Thursday and appears a long shot to return for Sunday's game in Baltimore.
"There's always a chance," Roethlisberger offered somewhat hopefully.
The lengthy list of issues still plaguing Roethlisberger more than two weeks after he sprained his right shoulder and suffered a dislocated rib in a 16-13 overtime win against Kansas City, however, suggests he's still a week away from giving it a go.
Though the pain isn't quite as intense as it was in the days after Kansas City linebacker Tamba Hali drilled Roethlisberger into the soggy Heinz Field turf, the two-time Super Bowl winner can still only sleep in certain positions at night. And while he's tested the shoulder this week, he's uncertain if he can make all the throws necessary to attack Baltimore's secondary.
"Can I put a lot of zip on the ball, throw it really hard before people like Ed Reed and defenders can get to the ball?" Roethlisberger said. "If I can't I'm not putting us in the best situation to win the game."
The Steelers (6-5) have struggled in Roethlisberger's absence, needing overtime to beat the woeful Chiefs before looking listless at times and sloppy at others in losses to Baltimore and Cleveland. A season that looked promising after a 24-20 win over the defending Super Bowl-champion Giants in New Jersey on Nov. 4 is suddenly on very shaky ground.
Still, don't expect Roethlisberger to push too quickly. It's something he's done in the past, with less than desired results. He played on a battered right ankle in San Francisco last year, limping around in a 20-3 loss. He ended up sitting out the next week and wasn't the same when he returned.
"We've had people talk about last year in San Francisco, if I would have rested maybe I would have been better off the next couple games but to me, I live for the here and now," he said. "I'm going to do everything I can to be out there and if it doesn't work then I'll do what I can about the next week."
Offensive coordinator Todd Haley said Roethlisberger threw "a little bit" on Thursday but the team continues to prepare as if Charlie Batch will make his second straight start. Batch completed 20 of 34 passes for 199 yards and three costly interceptions against the Browns, mistakes Haley attributed to rusty timing more than physical ability.
"I don't think there's any limitations to what Chuck can do," Haley said, "or needs to do with the guys we have."
Roethlisberger remains optimistic Batch can muster some of the magic that helped him lead the Steelers to three victories since 2010 while filling in for his good friend.
"I firmly believe that," Roethlisberger said. "They know what he's capable of. He's been doing it a long time. They respect him. I think he's ready to rise to the occasion."
Something the Steelers need to do if they want to build any momentum going into the final quarter of the season. A loss in a place they struggle to play well in ? no matter who is behind the center ? would leave them with no wiggle room whenever Roethlisberger gets back to work.
The game's importance is not lost on Roethlisberger, who will wear "juiced up" pads to protect his shoulder, though doctors have told him the dislocated rib no longer poses a threat to his aorta.
That's welcome news for a guy in the first days of fatherhood. Roethlisberger called being a dad "pretty cool" and while he's enjoyed the time at home, he's also eager to go back to his job. If he doesn't play on Sunday he'll do what he's done the last two weeks and stand on the sideline ? earbuds in place ? and provide the kind of insight Batch has imparted on him so many times though the years.
"It's hard for me," Roethlisberger said. "You watched me during these games. I've been on the field more than most of the coaches because I'm just antsy to get out there."
That anxiousness, however, figures to be around for at least another week.
___
NOTES: While Roethlisberger is doubtful, S Troy Polamalu appears ready to play for the first time since Oct. 7. Polamalu practiced for the second straight day and barring a setback should be on the field in Baltimore. Polamalu has been limited to just five quarters all season due to a strained right calf ... Rookie G David DeCastro continued to make progress in his first week on the active roster after recovering from right knee surgery in August. Haley said he expects DeCastro to make an impact on the field before the end of the season.

Popular opposition to the Jordanian monarchy is strong, but it will not manifest itself in massive anti-government uprisings like elsewhere in the region.
By Nicholas Seeley,?Correspondent / November 27, 2012
EnlargeJordanians poured into the streets this month, staging hundreds of protests after the government announced that it was reducing fuel subsidies. A number of them devolved into riots or clashes between police and protesters as demonstrators chanted, "The people want the fall of the regime."

After two frustrating years of minimal gains, some opposition members seemed to even welcome a confrontation, or at least see it as an opportunity to pressure the regime.?
But the anger that drove November's protests quickly faded: Opposition leaders continued to call for demonstrations, but fewer people showed up. By Nov. 23, the now-traditional Friday protest in Amman drew only a few hundred demonstrators?who braved the rain. For the moment, Jordan's fuel price crisis appears to have ended, and its swift conclusion suggests the opposition underestimated how high a premium most Jordanians place on stability.
Activist Mothanna Gharaibeh?says the angry rhetoric of protests earlier in the month has actually scared people away.
"Those 'revolution' people, they don't really understand how strong the regime is," Mr. Gharaibeh?says.
Despite the slow pace of reform, when the?University of Jordan's Center for Strategic Studies asked Jordanians in October if they believed political movements should continue protesting in the street until their demands were met, or if they should participate in elections and try to achieve their desires through Parliament, an overwhelming majority chose elections.
"A majority want those political parties to be part of the reform process through constitutional ways," says Walid Alkhatib,?the head of the center's polling unit. The poll was taken before the gas riots, so the results were not affected by any backlash against the recent violence, but rather point to a deep-rooted desire for stability and incremental change, even among many Jordanians who are dissatisfied with the reforms so far.
That conservatism is something protesters will be trying to take into account, as they to try to win people to their side before the next crisis comes.
The date for the next crisis is already set: Jan. 23, the date of the next parliamentary elections.
Dissatisfaction with the legislature has been a major opposition complaint for years. In 2011, the government responded by passing a new elections law, meant to change a voting system that makes it very difficult for political parties to get candidates into parliament, and leaves many of Jordan's urban areas radically under-represented.
The king also revised the country's constitution, saying that the changes would pave the way for a cabinet of ministers formed by Parliament rather than appointed by the crown. But opposition leaders and analysts say those changes are cosmetic. Several opposition parties, including Jordan's powerful Islamic Action Front, the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, have already announced a boycott of the new elections.

Do you cringe every month when you get your phone bill? If you have a smartphone, it's inevitable that you pay around $100 per month, with all those taxes and fees added on. That's a long of money spent. But what if we turn things around and think of our smartphones as investments? That would make you feel a bit better about that $100 monthly bill, right?
How do you turn a smartphone from a cost into an investment? By using it to help make life easier. A smartphone is a wonderful organization tool, so it can help you with your home projects. It might not help you tighten a screw or hammer in a nail. It certainly won't help you with installing a tankless water heater. But it can help you make those projects much easier to complete.
If I use my smartphone for nothing else around the house, it's to keep track of the projects I have running. Using an app like Task PRO, which costs just a buck, I can easily track what needs doing. Even more, I know what materials I'll need for the project. When I run down to the Home Depot, then, I'll know exactly what I still need ? because my smartphone is always with me.
Our smartphones cost us hundreds of dollars ? thousands in a two-year span. As such, we want to get the most out of them. Here are ways consumers can use their smartphones to help with their home improvement projects.

As I gather materials, I can check them off. When I go do the project, I know what materials I'll need to take with me and which I can leave behind. There's nothing quite as satisfying as checking off a project when it's completed. That's one down, a zillion to go!
Properly maintaining your house is important for a whole heap of reasons. The biggest one, of course, is money. If you don't properly maintain appliances and fixtures around your house you'll have to replace them soon enough. Some of them cost big money, which can take away from your remodeling budget. We wouldn't want that, would we?
Maintenance really isn't a big deal, either. It means checking pipes and outlets to make sure they're in working order. For your HVAC systems that means cleaning and replacing filters. But if you take care of these little recurring tasks, you'll extend the lives of those appliances. That means more money available to do the projects you want to do, not the ones you have to do.
Whether you use an Android or the iPhone, you can set up recurring calendar events to remind you of these maintenance projects. That way you'll get reminders on the days you need to perform them, so there are no excuses.
You know the saying, "there's an app for that"? It's pretty much true. There's an app that can take care of nearly anything you can imagine. That includes home improvement and remodeling projects. Again, none will turn your smartphone into a hammer or screwdriver, but they can make some simple measurements that much easier.
Apps like the iHandy Carpenter app for Android (also available on iPhone) give you some simple tools that make home improvement projects fun and easier. It includes a level tool, which comes in greatly handy ? and is smaller than your typical surface level. It also has a protractor for measuring angles and a ruler for measuring short distances. Having these tools on your smartphone can save you a few trips back to your tool box.
If you're paying a hundred dollars or more per month for your smartphone, you might as well get the most out of it. We don't typically think of smartphones as home remodeling and improvement tools, but they can be big helps around the house. And these are just three ways. If you use your imagination you can come up with plenty more, I'm sure!

Many of our hearts sank when the e-mails started rolling out indicating that there would be a three-week delay in shipments of some "backordered" Nexus 4 handsets. Now many users are seeing a more encouraging e-mail landing in their inbox, informing them that their devices are expected to ship this week. Credit cards will be charged and tracking numbers sent once the devices finally get out the door. That said, we're still lacking actual dates. But we're not going to look this gift horse in the mouth.
This falls right into line with the three-week timeframe we heard before, so let's hope that this batch triggers availability in the Play Store again. Maybe this round we'll see orders stay up for more than 15 minutes. There are lots of eager potential buyers that want to get their hands on a Nexus 4.

I am currently looking for two slots to be filled, and once all profiles are done, I plan on getting it started. The Following are the two characters I need filled.
Lazarus, The King of Eden: Now the leader of the City of Eden as well as complete control of the Underground City. His military patrols the Underground City and it's factories to ensure that the people continue to work in peace, and put down any dissenters. As a political tool, he sends two platoons of soldiers out without knowledge of each other, and gives them orders to shoot anyone they see on sight. One platoon is defeated and killed, and Lazarus blames it on the scavengers outside. When he was younger, since his father refused to allow him to marry or have an heir, when Lazarus fell in love with Annabel, he was sent into the army. (The City in the Sea)
Master Eldorado: Is an old scholar who travelled with the original people that founded Eden. There he finds the old books pertaining to how the city originally was. He is strong in his belief that it can be restored back and searches for someone that can do just that. He lives in Eden where he continues to study and teach about the history. He lives alone, sacrificing his own love life to see the city shine like it once had. He taught Leonard and Lenore hoping that they would be the ones to do just that. Now he works with the Lenore, Annabel, and others to try and get rid of Lazarus. He holds onto a book that is forbidden to anyone. He keeps it hidden in a small library that he keeps hidden away from everyone. No one, not even the people who was with him at the time Eden was found, knows about it. (Eldarado)
The characters are based on Edgar Allan Poe's poems. The titles of the poems are at the end of each small character Bio. Keep in mind these are just a basic outline of the character, and you will be the one to design the character as you see fit, as long as they match the small bios.
There are a total of 12 set characters, so having more characters may add some stress to the plot, but I am willing to discuss this and work it out if I think you have an intriguing character idea and how they can fit in.
I am not using the Edgar Allan Poe's stories to base characters, as some of his stories are a tad long, so instead some plots of his stories may be included along the story line. How that will work.. Well they will be used as twists to the story. You CAN however also use his stories as a background/history if you so wish. I will not limit the character design to strictly the poems, but as long as the character fits with the plot and story, I will be more likely to accept them. (again this will need to be discussed with me first.)
I would very much prefer that these two slots be filled first before I even consider other character ideas.

Music industry hasn?t been going as well in Pakistan as it could be if this country hadn?t become a security state. Much has been written about music and this practice will continue till the existence of the world.
?
The entire Sub-continent is blessed with hundreds of outstanding voices but Pakistan failed to use them in the right way. Unlike other countries, Pakistani film industry is taking its last breaths. Due to the deterioration in the law and order situation and lack of support by the government departments, the Pakistani film industry lost its value among the masses.
?
Many big names opened their eyes in this small region. Ghulam Ali Khan, Salamat Ali Khan, Mubarak Ali Khan, Pathaney Khan, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Noor Jehan, Aziz Mian, Nazia Hasan, Alan Faqir, Tufail Niazi, Alam Lohar and Mehdi Hasan are a few names of the long list of legends who had enthralled audiences beyond borders.
?
Despite indifferent conditions, there are many brilliant names who are promoting the name of the country across the globe. However, they are not as famous in their own country as they should be.
?
Ghulam Ali Khan, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Shafqat Amanat Ali, Atif Aslam, Hadiqa Kiani, Sajad Ali, Fariha Pervez, Arif Lohar, Ataullah Khan and many more names are giving their best to keep this art alive.
?
Many of them are household names in neighboring country, India, where the film industry is earning billions. Despite having big names, Bollywood is incomplete without the Pakistani singers.
?
However, we as a nation will have to work hard to keep this industry alive if we want to transfer our art to the next generations. Along with the government, individuals should also play their role in promoting the art.
?
Through Sufi Music, Pakistan can promote its real picture in the world. In order to counter the evil of terrorism, we can prop up a message of peace across the globe. In conclusion, for this purpose, we will have to become united, like we were at the time of partition.

(AP Photo/Ricardo Mazalan) SAO PAULO (AP) ? Sebastian Vettel overcame a first-lap crash Sunday to capture his third straight Formula One championship. He finished sixth in the Brazilian Grand Prix, which won by Jenson Button, and at 25 became the youngest three-time champion in Formula One. Vettel held off Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, the only other driver contending for the title. Alonso had a superb start on a hectic first lap at Interlagos. He finished second but that wasn't enough to erase Vettel's lead in the standings. Lewis Hamilton was leading in his final race with McLaren when Nico Hulkenberg crashed into him while trying to pass on a slippery track with 17 laps left. Michael Schumacher, F1's most successful driver, finished seventh in his final race after 19 seasons. The race finished behind the safety car after Paul Di Resta crashed. Associated Press |

Have one of those new bargain-priced Chrome OS laptops convinced you that it?s time to take a chance on Google?s browser-based OS? If so, then you?ll be happy to know that those HDMI ports will come in handy. In the most recent update to Chrome OS, Google has delivered dual monitor support so that you can mirror or extend your Chromebook?s display.
At first glance, it might not seem like there?s a real need for a secondary display on an inexpensive system built for browsing. After all, it doesn?t offer the same kind of muscle even a low-end Intel Core i3 processor achieves. But even on the first-gen Chromebooks, it?s still nice to know that you can now look at two tabs simultaneously ? provided, of course, that you can find the requisite cable (not so easy with the original Samsung Series 5 ).
Once you?re hooked up, you?re free to drop the Chrome OS media player on one screen while you browse for Black Friday deals on the other? or play your favorite browser-based games while keeping a Gmail or Facebook window open nearby so that you can see when your friends are trying to get in touch with you.
For business users, this also means that you can actually use a Chromebook to run a presentation now. Fire up an app like SlideShare and turn mirroring on, hook up your projector, and you?re good to go.
At the end of the day, Chrome OS is still basically a bootable web browser. But with each passing update, Google?s getting closer and closer to a lightweight OS that offers users nearly the same functionality as Windows or OS X ? as long as you can find web apps (or Native Client apps) that compare favorably with your current desktop standards.
