Google Releases Chrome For Android Beta 142

An anonymous reader writes "Today Google announced the availability of a beta version of its Chrome browser for Android. Unfortunately, it's limited to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) devices. Google is trying to keep Chrome fast and easy to use, and part of that involved redesigning tabs so they work more naturally with touchscreens. 'You can flip or swipe between an unlimited number of tabs using intuitive gestures, as if you're holding a deck of cards in the palm of your hands, each one a new window to the web.' They've also including synchronization functionality that allows you to move from desktop browsing to phone or tablet browsing and pick up right where you left off."

So Dinosaurs had feathers. Now I can't help but imagine a velociraptor with yellow baby chick down feathers.

This is actually a pretty cool thing. I would like to see a slider to adjust the minimum magnitude value to display though.

This, combined with ads can explain higher than expected bandwidth use, but it will not account for a discrepancy between what your router reports and what AT&T reports. The router sees all the traffic. If my internet was being metered, I would be quite outraged if my usage reported by my provider was significantly different than my usages reported by my ddwrt.
