Are You Interested in Trying Google's Chrome OS?
On Tuesday, Google announced the launch of its new Chrome OS, which will be available for consumers next year.
Google's operating system will compete with OS X, Windows, and Linux, and promises to be open source and lightweight. Google says that it will first come to netbooks, and if it's as quick as the "lightweight" term promises, you can bet I'll be getting my hands on it as soon as I can.

Chrome Experiments With Google Gravity, Makes a Fun Video
Even though I haven't converted to using the Chrome browser (where's my Mac support?), I'm fascinated by Chrome Experiments, a place for its engineers to play around with JavaScript. In this video, they've created "Google Gravity," which reminds me a lot of their Japanese ad for Chrome that I also loved. Check it out.
Not Using Chrome? There Are Ways of Making You Charmed
This promo video for using Google Chrome will make you smile, if in fact you smile at things that are truly adorable and charming (but without being too twee; this is a strong new browser from Google, after all). Whether it will make you want to abandon your current browser or not, I don't know.

Give Your Phone the Props It Deserves With a Sleek Stand
I'm all about making my own iPhone or cell stand out of random objects, but if you want more of a traditional (read: new) and purposeful item, check out the sleek Philippi Mobile Phone Panel ($26).

If my tutorial sideshow about what Lomo cameras are all about gave you a sudden interest in the retro cameras, now is a good time to get in on the action — Urban Outfitters has two new Lomos in shiny, shiny chrome.

Meanwhile, the Lomography Fisheye 2 Chrome Edition, on the right ($110), is plastic like the chrome Diana, but its rendering makes it look metal, doesn't it?
