Google’s Chrome OS , and thus the Cr-48 , has seen a lot of updates and big fixes since we took a hard look at it back in December, but the wonky touchpad, which we seriously struggled with, hasn’t exactly seen much love. That is, until today. The most recent Chrome OS update, which now brings it to version 0.10.156.46, includes new “trackpad and sensitivity settings,” and it definitely makes a world of difference. We updated ours just a couple of moments ago and lots of the issues — namely the jumpy cursor and the flaky scrolling — have been mended. Thanks to the fresh software, we had a much easier time highlighting text and scrolling down the length of this very website. That said, the touchpad still isn’t as responsive as what you get with Apple’s MacBooks or Synaptics ClickPad Series 3 , and that’s because the physical hardware is based on Synaptics’ older generation profile sensing technology rather than its newer image sensing panel. Either way, the new software update makes the Cr-48 a lot less frustrating to navigate. Google’s also rolled in some new power optimizations, screen indicators, and GChat improvements — go on and try it out for yourself and let us know what you think in the comments. New Chrome OS update finally fixes the Cr-48′s touchpad issues originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 04 Mar 2011 01:05:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink

March 3, 2011 No Comment
Your processor may be able to react to your every, fickle demand when it comes to churning out the numbers that make the magic happen, but when it comes to managing its own power it’s a bit more lazy. Chips can throttle an individual core’s consumption back, but do so slowly, a problem that Harvard grad student Wonyoung Kim appears to have solved. He’s created an on-chip multi-core voltage regulator that uses what’s called fast-voltage scaling, a technique of rapidly cutting power that could drastically extend battery life on mobile devices — or, you know, make it so that your gaming rig doesn’t dim the lights quite so badly when you crank it up to the gigahertz. No word on when this regulator will start making an appearance in consumer electronics, but Mr. Kim has achieved a patent for his work, so you can be sure he’ll be making bank whenever it does.
