Found It! Glass and Chrome Side Table
In last night's episode of Melrose Place, Lauren was a bit broody beside a glass and chrome side table. I'm generally not one for this clubby décor, but I will say the table is an example of great modernist design. In fact, it's a pretty iconic piece.
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.
Will You Download Google's New Chrome Browser?
Dilemma! What's a Google-devoted but equally Firefox-loving geek to do? When Google broke the news over the holiday weekend that they were releasing a new browser called Chrome, I was excited, but also a little guilty-feeling since I use and adore Firefox.
Trend Alert: Chrome Nails
Leave it to Rihanna, the queen bee of nail polish, to take an opaque, shimmery metallic color to the next level. Chrome is more of a powerful gold-and-silver version of its true silver sister gunmetal and it is also much darker than pale gray.
I still can't quite believe that metallic nails are still this much of a sensation.
Casa Quickie: Cleaning Chrome
Desire to Inspire recently wrote about her experience restoring a '70s chrome chair and shared her trick for removing tarnish from chrome — vinegar and aluminum foil! Moisten, but don't saturate, aluminum foil with some full-strength white vinegar, and rub the chrome with lots of elbow grease! A lot of scrubbing will do the trick, and then wipe off the black gunk with a soft cloth afterwards.
