The 365Scores Notifier extension for Google Chrome will keep you updated on the news and scores of your favourite teams in the field of football, American football, tennis, basketball, hockey, handball, baseball, volleyball and rugby. To install the extension, go to the Google Chrome Web Store and search for ‘365Scores Notifier’ and then click on ‘Add to Chrome’. After installation, a new 365Scores Notifier icon will appear next to the ‘wrench’ icon. Click it to start 365Scores Notifier. When you first start the extension, it will run a start-up wizard which will ask you the names of the teams that you wish to follow, and also the names of the leagues you follow. The last step will let you see your selections before you finalise it. Don’t worry about forgetting anything as you can always add new teams later. The extension opens as a small pop up in the corner and displays the upcoming fixtures, scores, the latest news and the head to head statistics. You can also check out a live stream of the match.

The extension lets you configure a variety of things like the language, search options and the notification. You can choose different notifications for different sports like the sound of the crowd cheering when a goal is scored to a whistle when the game stats or ends.
This is a must have application for all sports fanatics who can’t follow live sports because they are in the office or their television is broken.

To install this handy extension, visit the Google Chrome Web Store and do a search for ‘Extensions Manager (aka Switcher)’. Then click on ‘Add to Chrome’ to install it. You can access the extension by clicking on the ‘switch’ icon found next to the ‘wrench’ icon used to customise and control Google Chrome. Clicking on the extension brings up a pop up. Here you can see a list of everything that you have installed on to Google Chrome. You can choose to see all of them or just the extensions, applications or themes. The pop up not only shows you the name of the extension, but also a picture of the icon and a short description. But the main part is the options that you are given. The ‘X’ icon right next to then extensions lets you delete them. The check box lets you enable or disable an extension with a simple click while the gear icon lets you see the options of the particular extension.

Right clicking on the Extensions Manager icon and click on ‘options’ lets you configure Extensions Manager. Here you have the option to change many things, such as the initial type of view, the notification timeout, pop up width, and many more. All these qualities make Extension Manager (aka Switcher) a must have extension for those of you who frequently visit the Google Chrome Web Store.

To install this app, go to the Google Chrome Web Store and search ‘Ghost Incognito’. Then click on ‘Add to Chrome to install the extension. The extension can be accessed by clicking on the Ghost Incognito icon next to the ‘wrench’ icon. An interesting thing to note is the Ghost Incognito icon, which is a nod to the Pac-Man series of Video Games.
To use the extension, visit the website that you wish to, in the incognito mode and then click on the Ghost Incognito icon. The web page is redirected almost immediately to the incognito window. And any subsequent visits to that website will also open in the incognito window. If you wish to add more websites to the list, you can do that by following the same exact steps. The developers seem to know exactly who will be using their extension and for what purpose. All websites that end with .xxx are redirected to the incognito mode by default. And those who worry that typing the URL outside the incognito window will result in the website getting registered, fear not! Ghost Incognito removes that visit from the history list as well.

The only challenge in using this extension is that removing specific URLs is a real chore. Right clicking on the Ghost Incognito and choosing ‘options’ only lets you clear all the saved domains. To remove individual Websites you have to first go to ‘tools’ then ‘extensions’ and then click on ‘allow for incognito’. Next you have to go to the website while still in incognito and then click on the Ghost Incognito icon to manually remove that website from the list. Apart from this fault, the Ghost Incognito extension is excellent for those who wish that their visits to certain websites be hidden from prying eyes.

Installing the app is child’s play. Just go to the Google Chrome Web Store and search for ‘Radio’ and click on the 1st result you see. Then click on ‘Add to Chrome’ to install it to Google Chrome. To start the application, open a new tab and click on the Radio icon under the ‘apps’ section. The interface is quite slick and stylish. There is a monochrome background with colourful widgets for the radio stations. The gear icon in the top right corner lets you choose between 4 backgrounds. The bar on top lets you choose a country.
This is a great app for music lovers around the world. The uncertainty of what song will come next coupled with the witty chatter of the RJ make this app very useful in the office, especially when you have a stressful project on your head and you don’t have time to select your own songs.

Keep in mind that this plays radio online. This means that that the applications fun factor will drop down considerably if the internet connection speed is low. Another thing to remember is that certain stations may ask for the Windows Media Player Plug-in to work properly. It would also be nice if the radio stations came with more information, such as genre.
Never the less, this app proves that in the age of iPods and mp3 players, radio still soldiers on.

The story of Flight isn’t very complicated, but it’s enough to make you smile while at the same time, spur you along to complete the game. The story begins with a little girl who sees her neighbour receive a Christmas gift from her mother. This compels her to write a letter to Santa Clause, wishing to see her mother this Christmas. She then folds the paper into a paper plane and launches it out of her window. It is your job to make sure that the paper plane reaches its destination. On your way, you will encounter colourful characters in each of the 5 countries you visit.

The game play is quite straightforward. Your ‘throw’ the place using the mouse and as you fly you will get to collect certain power-ups which you give your plane certain bonuses such as increased velocity, money, etc. The money that you collect will let you upgrade your place with engines, bonuses and even a complete design overhaul. What will happen when the plane finally reaches its destination? Will the little girl’s wish come true? Looks like you are going to have to play this game to find out.

Installing the Offline Google Mail application is a piece of cake. Do a quick search for ‘Offline Google Mail’ and click on ‘Add to Chrome’. The Offline Google Mail icon will appear in the apps section in the home page. Click it to start Offline Google Mail, and give it a minute to sync with your Gmail account. The app interface is different from the regular Gmail interface, but all the necessary tools that you require are present. You are free to read your emails, and can also send mails. The mails are sent to the Outbox first and are sent as soon as an Internet connection is available.

The app is quite useful for people who are constantly on the go and for places where the Internet connection is unreliable. The unique interface may seem a bit confusing at first, due to the different layout of buttons, but it is quite easy to pick up. The app itself works perfectly. All mails are queued up when there is no Internet access and are sent as soon a connection is established. The same goes for incoming mails and for other functions of Google mail.

Unfortunately, those wishing to use this app to access their account just the way they can with Gmail, might be disappointed. There is no support for Google Talk and you cannot change the settings. This means that you are still dependent on Gmail for most of the actions. Offline Google mail is an application that does just what it is supposed to do – nothing more, nothing less.

Installing this app is as easy as a pie. Simply go to the Google Chrome Web Store and search ‘pixlr-o-matic’. Select it and click ‘Add to Chrome’ to install the app. You can find the app on the ‘apps’ section of the home page. The app itself is quite easy to use. Pixlr-o-matic lets you get an impressively edited retro style picture in just 5 windows/steps. The first window lets you choose a picture. You can either upload one from your computer or take a snapshot using your web cam. The second window lets you choose a tint for your photograph. The next window lets you choose a snazzy effect while the last window lets you choose a frame for the picture. The final window allows you to save the photograph on your PC.

The app runs quite smoothly, without any framing issues. It’s very nice to see that the designers have added tiny details like ripples that are created when you move your mouse over the picture. Pixlr-o-matic is no match for a proper photo editing software. But it’s easy to pick up and renders possible effectively edited pictures in a professional manner, in just a few minutes. This aspect makes Pixlr-o-matic a great app to have for Facebook or Twitter addicts who like to put up a new and unique picture every few days.

Installing the Remember the Milk application is just as simple as installing any other application. Just go to the Google Chrome Web Store and search ‘Remember the Milk’. Then simply open the app and click ‘Add to Chrome’. Once installed, the Remember the Milk application can be found in the ‘apps’ section of the homepage. The app requires you to sign up or log in using your Gmail account. Once you log in, you see a range of tabs ranging from ‘personal’ to ‘work’. Here you can add new tasks as they come and do a variety of things to them depending on your needs. You can order a particular task to repeat itself after a set amount of time, set an estimate of the time take to complete the task, and do much more.

Perhaps the only apprehension a user may face while using the app is that it may seem a bit complicated at the beginning. Thankfully, the Remember the Milk website provides you with a comprehensive list of commands and phrases that you can use to overcome this problem. The Remember the Milk application is available for a range of platforms like Android, iOS and Windows. So you always have your to-do list on hand. The bottom line is that Remember the Milk is a must have application for workaholics who need to keep tabs on their daily chores.

Alchemy is based on the philosophy that everything consists of four basic elements, earth, fire, air and water. That is all you start with and by combining them with each other, you get more elements. For example, combining fire and water you get steam that can then be combined with earth or air to get a geyser or a cloud respectively. There are currently 210 elements and more are expected to be added. This may seem like a silly and childish concept at first but you are guaranteed to get hooked within the first 15 minutes of playing this game. Pretty soon you will be required to use your head to make new elements, for example combining pressure and a plant to create coal. There are also interesting combinations such as combining a corpse with electricity to create Frankenstein’s Monster. The game itself runs very smoothly without any framing issues. And it even runs when the internet isn’t working.

The only problem with Little Alchemy is that after a certain period of time, you may get frustrated if you can’t figure out how to create new elements. But there are plenty of sites available on the Internet to satisfy your quest to find all the elements.
