Flock--The Social Media Browser

The Flock web browser is powered by Mozilla, so it has many extensions and features familiar to Firefox. With this browser, it becomes easier for us to stay updated with our social networking sites, email accounts, blogs, etc. We can control all our accounts with a single sidebar, called People, with this toolbar we can send email to our friends, comment on their posts and much more! Another great feature in this browser is that, if you want to email a photo or a link to a friend, just drag and drop that photo into your friend's profile, and let go of it. But one thing that disappointed us is that it does not have enough themes available. This browser has got it all to make social networking easier and more interesting, but absence of much themes downgrades our ratings. This Social browser gets 8/10 from our side.

Chromium OS

Chromium is a cloud based computing operating system . Nowadays people use the computers basically for the purpose of internet. The difference between Chromium OS and other Operating systems is that it breaks your desktop functions into their bare minimum. Unlike other operating systems when you boot up your computer the chrome browser automatically boots up. Major applications that usually run on your desktop, work via your web browser. But the one thing that its lacks is it does not have a Shut Down option, it might be fixed later in its later versions. We tested the Chromium OS on a virtual machine so enjoy watching the video of the test run of chromium OS.
