CloudReady's claim of turning any hardware into a Chromebook is no joke. Jack Wallen shows us how it's done.

Go to Phobos before landing on Mars itself? I have pushed this idea for twenty years and now some at NASA agree. Not only is the larger moon far easier to reach and could serve as an ideal research platform, it also has two advantages never mentioned in this article. It can serve as a logistics hub where supplies can be pre-positioned and tended without complex orbital management. It also might (some figure) be carbonaceous chondritic material, containing volatiles like water. If these could be mined and stored and prepared, subsequent Mars landing missions would find all the water and rocket fuel they need, lowering both cost and risk by an order of magnitude.

Of course, it's not reused until it successfully launches again.

Rather than buy one, how about renting one (or borrowing a la ZipCar or Car To Go) this way.

Is ketchup leather the solution to our soggy bun crisis?

(I say no -- the answer is good bread for the bun, instead of the horrible buns normally served. But still, ketchup leather is interesting.)

This video shows an L.A. restaurant called Plan Check building a burger, which involves making fruit leather out of ketchup.

My team at Google has been very big proponents and innovators of USB Type-C. I've worked on two Pixel products now that use the connector and its related technologies (Power Delivery, Alternate Mode, USB 3.1). It really is an amazing little connector.

However, now that there are more and more Type C products rolling out from Nexus, One+, Nokia, and more, this I have found painfully true : USB Type-C will only be as good as its ecosystem, and more specifically, the worst of its ecosystem.

I have started reviewing USB cables on Amazon because I have gotten fed up with the early cables from 3rd party vendors that so blatantly flaunt the specification and I want to hold them to task.

You may not just get weird behavior from your devices with these bad cables... What some these vendors are doing is downright dangerous.

I've been contemplating setting up a blog where I document bad cables and perhaps give some insights into USB Type C as well.

The company that is killing bookstores has opened a bookstore. It's actually a store to teach you how to shop at Amazon.com from other bookstores by encouraging you to use the Amazon app (iOS and Android!) to scan for the price. I see what you did there, Amazon.
