Chrome Canary Brings 'Off' Switch to Notification Center on Mac OS



Latest build of Chrome Canary brings an 'Off' Switch the notification Center, only on Mac OS


The notification center in Chrome is probably one of our most loved features of Chrome, simply because we can access all the Google Now cards from our desktop instead of opening it up on our phone. It's a great feature to have. But what about turning it off, or having a do not disturb option? Well, Google appears to be playing around with an On/Off switch for the Notification Center as the latest Canary build for Mac OS brings an Off switch to the notification center.

Samsung Chromebook 2 Delayed Until End of May



Back in March, Samsung announced their new Chromebook. This is their second round of ARM-based Chromebooks. The first one came out in late 2012, and was, well not the best offering out there. But it was the first Chromebook that came in at under $300, selling for just $249. Now the Samsung Chromebook 2 has a bit of upgraded internals like a newer Exynos processor - we're looking at an Octa-core this time, along with a larger size. There is also a 13.3-inch model available with a 1920x1080 display. These two Chromebooks also have a faux leather back, similar to the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy TabPRO/NotePRO tablets. It's going to be interesting to see how well it works out on a Chromebook.
