Let me clarify - I use the Chrome browser both at home and at work. I log into the browser so I have access to all the same bookmarks and setting where ever I am. Welcome to the future, and all that.

As my avatar suggests, I have worn glasses since I was a little kid. I know it will be a while before most of us can get Google Glass, but does anyone know if they are (it is) compatible with prescription glasses?

How can I install apps that aren't from Google Play?

I see the two terms software and client used interchangeably pretty often. This may be a stupid question, but are they actually synonymous, or when the term client is used, is it referring to a specific type of software?

Thanks for the help all.  I'm going to give it a go this weekend when I have some spare time.  It doesn't sound too difficult for me to handle.  

I've got an old Windows Vista PC that I was thinking of using as a guinea pig for my first Ubuntu experience. I know practically nothing about Ubuntu really. Come to think of it, I guess that makes me the guinea pig instead of the PC. How do I install Ubuntu? I remember that you used to be able to get a CD. Can you still do that?

Sorry, I spaced on including the printer model, it's an HP Laserjet, but I can't remember the specific model off the top of my head.  Our office is closed today due to power outages, so I can't check it.

No way, and unless it was something extraordinarily time sensitive (ex., tsunami will arrive in 12 minutes, call Ironman ASAP), I would think it was an incredible example of narcissism from an individual.

Is there an easy way to be able to access my Gmail contacts when I'm offline? I travel pretty often in the mountains, and a lot of times I am nowhere near being able to get a signal for my smartphone or wireless hotspot.

There have been stories about the Romney presidential campaign and the artificially inflated number of twitter followers after that number spiked from about 650,000 to 800,000 literally overnight (after a long period of steady increase of about 3,500 a day).

I think the enforced brevity of message is one of the great things about Twitter. But why are the limited to 140 characters, instead of say, 200 or something? Was it just a random decision, or is there a logical basis for that being the limit?
