Netflix – Making the right moves
What was that. Oh, a speed bump. DVDs via Netflix were a big improvement compared to Blockbuster rentals, but not compared to Streaming via Netflix. Hurray for the future of Netflix!
What could make it better? The option to download and watch where there’s slow or no connection. Seriously.

Search a site in Chrome's Address Bar
Ever wish you could use google to search the site you’re on? Sure some sites use google to provide their search feature, but almost any site can be searched via google.
Try this search:
alter table site:sqlite.org
(at http://www.google.com )
If you happen to be using Google’s new Chrome web browser, you can search the site you’re on by typing some words right before the URL in the address bar (see picture above).
As a side note, I’ve used Chrome on Windows and Mac and would recommend it to everyone as their primary browser. Safari is a close second for non geeks, and FireFox is still better if you’re the type of person who uses a lot of add-ons.

With all these rumors, it’s a pretty sure thing. Some of the details are not certain, but some are. It should be a 10.1″ iPhone type device with a surprising interface. It might have a camera, or GPS, or compass. It might even respond to a stylus or Wacom pen.
Apple always makes great products by making great software for it. Being larger than an iPhone means changes that we can’t predict, so we won’t know what they are like until we see it.
