Chromecast now available in the UK (Currys/PC World should be selling them as of 9am today if you don't want to pay £3 postage or can't wait for delivery).
But if you don't have a media center/PS3/Raspberry Pi/Smart TV* then its a cheap solution for non-tech types (more so than the Pi).
No more "OK Maps"
Quote from: slackline on May 12, 2014, 09:03:31 amNo more "OK Maps"That's really annoying, it's one of the most useful features of maps when you're abroad or in areas without data. You can zoom out quite far before you download though, so you can just about fit the whole Peaks Districts Nationals Parks on 2 maps.
Google have launched a Chrome browser extension and Android App for Chrome remote desktop. Not tested it yet, but sounds like it could be useful for connections to your own machines and 'log me in' type connections to others.https://chrome.google.com/remotedesktophttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.chromeremotedesktop
As an aside, why go through your home computer to get to your work desktop? (Probably some IT restrictions perhaps?).
