How To Get Facebook-Style Chat Heads For Hangouts In Chrome

Posted: 31 Oct 2014 08:00 AM PDT

hangouts-chat-heads

Hangouts is a wonderful cross-platform messaging and video chat app, but this newest release straight from Google improves upon the app by offering Facebook-style “Chat Heads” on Chrome. If you’re a Hangouts user (and you should be), you’re going to want this update. Read on to learn how and see it in action. Installing Hangouts On Chrome The weirdest thing about this newest update to Chrome is the fact that it is a different app, not an update.

These Add-Ons Let You Make Firefox Look However You Want

Posted: 31 Oct 2014 07:00 AM PDT

firefox-look

Make Firefox look however you like. Whether you want something modern that frees up space, a dash of colour to keep things interesting, or to bring back the Firefox look of old, there’s a theme or extension out there for you. Firefox is about freedom, and one of the best things Firefox lets you do that Chrome doesn’t is customize the interface.

You can change things quite a bit out-of-the-box: just click the settings button at top-right, then click the “Customize” button at...

How To Use openSUSE Factory, The New Rolling-Release Distribution

Posted: 31 Oct 2014 06:00 AM PDT

opensuse

Linux offers all sorts of distributions which can cater to just about any needs or desires. However, there was one little area where a great distro was lacking: a rolling-release distribution that was easy to set up.

The closest available option was openSUSE’s Factory and Fedora’s Rawhide (we’ve covered Rawhide’s bleeding edge capabilities before). However, openSUSE has been working a lot on automating QA tasks so...

author-reddit

For creative and non-creatives alike, there’s a lot to learn from authors. Contrary to the stereotype, the life of an author is more than just laptops and lattes. There are stories of rags-to-riches as well as riches-to-rags. Some find success, others crash and burn, but there’s always wisdom and advice to be gleaned. If the concept of a Reddit AMA is new to you, you’re in for a treat. The “Ask Me Anything” format allows regular people like you and me to pose questions to interesting people. It’s kind of like a crowdsourced interview. For example, check out these game...
