Google Releases Chrome for Android

Google has finally released a working beta of it’s Chrome Browser for Android. The mobile version of Google’s popular browser on the desktop has been redesigned from the ground-up for mobile devices, prioritizing speed and simplicity while sporting a ton of features from the desktop version.


You can test out Chrome for Android via the Android Market. Just a heads-up, the app seems to be currently limited to those in the US only and requires Android 4.0 Ice cream Sandwich to run. Seems like we’ll have to wait for the build to get finalized before being able to jump in.

Prevent Lightroom from launching when inserting any portable media

February 6th, 2012 sylv3rblade

lightroom-logo

One minor quirk that always irked me with Lightroom was that it always launches whenever I insert device on my USB slot or card reader. And I mean always. While it might be a boon for people doing photography for a living, this is more of an annoyance since the pop-up launches even if there is absolutely no images on the device you are connecting :/.

To prevent Lightroom from automatically launching, you need to turn of the proper option in the preferences.

Important Note: The menu placement will be different in each version of Lightroom. We’re using the latest version, Lightroom 3.

In Windows you need to go to Edit > Preferences > Import

Ensure that the highlighted option is unchecked then press OK. Lightroom will no longer start whenever connecting any media device (or if you’re like me then that means ANY device) to your computer.
