AWN 0.4-Beta for Ubuntu is Back, Quick Review and Installation
Avant Window Navigator(AWN) has always been my favorite dock application. It was by far the most easy to use and far better looking dock application when compared to Gnome-Do or Cairo-Dock. But that was some years ago. I stopped using these dock applications at least a year ago and thats when I heard about the all new AWN 0.4 beta.

First Glimpses of Google Chrome OS UI
When Google officially announced the idea called Google Chrome OS, the technology world was pretty much stunned, because nobody was expecting it this fast. But it's Google, so you never know. As google puts it, 'Google Chrome OS is our attempt to re-think what operating systems should be'. That sounds really interesting from a user point of view. Google Chrome OS in reality is an extension of Google Chrome Web Browser itself. See the Google Chrome OS video demo as well.
