Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
CubeMe for Google Chrome lets you pretend you're browsing on an iPad!
There's a very good chance that Chrome OS tablets -- unlike the iPad -- will support Adobe Flash. Google is, after all, one of Adobe's partners in the Open Screen Project.
Suppose, however, you share the Jobsian distaste for Flash and the CPU abuse perpetrated by carelessly crafted .SWFs. What if you actually want those little blue Legos all over your browser? The answer is simple: there's an extension for that!
Just install CubeMe, and your Google Chrome will take on a mobile Safari approach to Flash, displaying the mystery block wherever an embed would normally appear. Don't go expecting configurable blocking like with Flashblock -- you'll get blue Legos, and you'll bloody well like it!
On a practical note, CubeMe will speed load times on certain sites -- though it does make goofing off on ArmorGames a whole lot more complicated...

Flashblock is always the first addon I put in Chrome.
...though the blue legos would be epic.

The CubeMe link points to Open Screen Project.

Beats having to look at those "How I got ripped in 7 seconds !" Or "How to get a flat stomach" ads, they're everywhere !

It needs to build an apple out of blue legos.

I don't get it.
What's so open about the open screen project.
The only thing open about it is the name.
Flash is still a proprietary format. It would be wise for Adobe to open it up so someone can do a better implementation of Flash. Just like how Foxit and Apple fixed PDF viewing.
