Google’s latest Chrome Experiment makes internet browsing a never ending maze game. The experiment transforms your favorite desktop website into a 3D maze that you can play with your smartphone, and it’s spectacularly addicting. To begin, just go to Chrome.com/maze and sync your phone to explore your 3D web.

Google Docs Goes Offline While Chromes Comes to iOS

Nate Hoffelder — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:36:05 +0000

Google I/O kicked off yesterday with the launch of the Nexus 7 tablet, but Google’s not done showing off new tricks.

This morning brought news that Google Chrome, now the world’s most popular web browser, will shortly be available on the iPad and iPhone. It’s also going to be bringing Google Drive with it.

The app was just listed in iTunes a couple minutes ago. It requires iOS 4.3 and above.

Google Docs is also going places today: offline. The Google word-processing service has long been a serious competitor to MS Office and Open Office. At least, it would be a serious competitor if not for the fact that it won’t work without a live web connection. If you’ve ever had connectivity issues (I have) then you can appreciate the news today.

Note, though, that it’s just the word processing service that’s offline. Google said that the rest of its office suite (lik eGoogle Presentations and Spreadsheets) should soon go offline as well.

Chrome Web Store Gets New Section for Offline Apps

Gone are the days of digging through the Chrome Store and trying to guess if an app has an offline mode; thanks to today’s update you won’t have to guess.

Google announced earlier today that the Chrome Web Store (about the only place to get Chrome apps) now has a specific section for offline apps. It covers both paid and free apps, games and utilities.

While this is relatively minor news, it says something about Google’s expectations of how people would use Chrome. This is supposed to be an online only OS and do everything in the crowd. That’s what Google wanted, but clearly users don’t agree. They want to continue to work while they’re offline, and I can understand that. My connectivity isn’t nearly good enough to support a cloud based lifestyle (even though I am a blogger).
