ChroME EXtenSIONs

There are several handy extensions on Chrome browser which are worth being shared.

    you can easily and quickly capture your screen within Chrome with provided 4 different ways. It also provides simple and essential editing functions(highlight, blur, block) before you save or share the image you have just captured. It's easy to save and share, although the share function is still considered not sufficient. 

    be honest, i dont read NYTimes frequently, however, i think this web app is well designed. If you are familiar with a reader app, Flipboard, on iDevice(such as ipad), you will be used to the use flow and page layout of NYTimes. the layouts (it provides 4 different design) enable each headline to be clearly read, and so does the content. you can select your interested topics and customized the keyboard shortcuts. i think it will also provide good user experience on All-in-one with touchscreen, although i dont really have one. 

    It's definitely a handy utility for a person needs so some calculation often. it supports a little bit complex math operation, such as sqrt(2+6*3-0.5^3). the history of your calculation is also recorded which is a easy way to go back to any step of your complex operation. I love the Calculator function most. However, it also provides another useful tool -- converter for currency and units. it is still intuitive to use.
