So I just got a Lenovo Yoga 13. This is my review.
As what I primarily do is writing and programming, having a good keyboard is critical for me, which is why a tablet alone can’t work for me, and...
I have owned dozens of laptops in a variety of brands, and had many different laptops provided for my use at work. Without question, this is the finest I have owned. The Alienware M17x R2 is a...

* Extension content scripts no longer run multiple times after fragment (ie #hash) navigations (Issue:35924)
* Early version of Geolocation API now available with following caveats:
- To enable, run the browser with --enable-geolocation
- Wifi based location is only supported on Windows and Mac (not OSX 10.6 for now)
- Permissions are not persisted (will re-prompt every time) and associated UI is incomplete.
They are busy keeping up the pressure for a good version, or is it that they are being pressured to fix bugs?
i doubt any QA is involved in the Devchannel builds at all in the first place
hmmm. Somehow this is not what I would expect from devs Regression testing anyone? It is not so hard to have an automatic quick test scenario for everything that is being developed, is it not?
* An integrated Adobe Flash Player Plug-in. We're integrating Adobe Flash Player 10.1.51.95 (10.1 beta 3) with Google Chrome so that you don't have to install it or worry about keeping it up-to-date. To use the bundled Flash Player plug-in, add --enable-internal-flash to your command line or shortcut for starting Google Chrome.
* A basic plug-in manager. The aboutlugins page now lets you disable any plug-in from loading on all web pages.

* [r42400] Will no longer automatically offer to translate in incognito mode. (Issue: 38107)
* [r42981] Fix file upload code to not hang the HTTP session when the file is unreadable. (Issue: 30850)
On an interesting side note regarding last January attack to Google China.

Ever since Google disclosed in January that Internet intruders had stolen information from its computers, the exact nature and extent of the theft has been a closely guarded company secret. But a person with direct knowledge of the investigation now says that the losses included one of Google's crown jewels, a password system that controls access by millions of users worldwide to almost all of the company's Web services, including e-mail and business applications.

The intruders do not appear to have stolen passwords of Gmail users, and the company quickly started making significant changes to the security of its networks after the intrusions. But the theft leaves open the possibility, however faint, that the intruders may find weaknesses that Google might not even be aware of, independent computer experts said...
