Google Chrome OS Updates Indicate Chrome Tablets Could Be Coming [Report]

Chrome OS looks like it’s starting to make its way across a number of products as HP recently unveiled its Chromebook 11 and companies like LG are expected to launch their own products featuring Google’s operating system. Laptops and desktops aren’t the only products expected to be released with Chrome OS as Chrome tablets may be headed to market sooner than you think.

    High-Tech Tourist Kiosks May Soon Make Brochures Obsolete

    Posted in: Today's Chili

    NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — In tourist towns worldwide, visitors are greeted with racks of brochures promoting everything from tours and museums to restaurants and hotels. But in the world of computers, smartphones and tablets, a new interactive visitor kiosk developed in South Carolina and deployed as far away as New York City might make such brochures a thing of the past.

    “We said there’s got to be a better way, with all the technology we have now,” said Priest, chief operating officer of City Corridor, the technology firm that developed the flat-faced kiosks with a large touch screen for visitors to see ads for attractions, make reservations and print out maps, menus and more.

    Posted in: Today's Chili

    Katie Ryan originally signed up on Vine (username Katie Ryan) to share videos she took of her 3-year-old daughter Ava with family and friends. “We have family in California, and all over the place, so we thought it was great for everybody to get to see her,” she told The Huffington Post.
