Just sign in to your Google account, pick your HP ePrint device, and you're ready to fire off a print job from anywhere you've got Internet access. Well, as long as your app supports ...

Google Chrome is a great browser, but it still has a few shortcomings -- one of which is the lack of a print preview screen. The plumbing for such a feature has existed in Chrome for a while now, and Print Preview even appears as an option in about:flags.
Right now, enabling Preview has no effect on functionality. Flipping the switch does, however, provide a partial glimpse of how the feature ...

We haven't heard much about Google Cloud Print since it was first announced. They're still working away on the project, of course, as it will be a core component of Chrome OS. Partners like HP have already made it known that they've got devices in the works which will support Cloud Print. A Cloud Print proxy server is also coming, and it will enable you to route jobs to your older, less ...

More sad news from the world of journalism: looks like Time Magazine is experimenting with putting its web content behind a very odd type of paywall starting with the next issue. Instead of being able to pay for a subscription to read the full content of Time in their browsers, web visitors see the beginning of each article, and this:
"The following is an abridged version of an article that ...

Major magazine publishers know they're in trouble. Mags have been shutting down all over the place during the past year, and the rise of blogs and eReaders continues apace. A group of publishers including Conde Nast, Hearst, Meredith, News Corp., and Time Inc. has combined to launch a digital delivery system for magazines that has been compared to both iTunes and the popular streaming TV site ...

Google's new piece of ad software will help Google Print Ad advertisers design their own ads for display in newspapers. The process is pretty straightforward, but you must win the ad auction to begin. Advertisers start out by choosing a newspaper ...

Yea, I know you're already bringing your stikkits with you on your notebook, but I'm talking about putting them in your pocket using that 'paper' stuff. Aaron Straup Cope has whipped together two PHP files that can query Stikkit (which we're growing fond of) and create a printable, foldable and ultimately pocket-able version of all your stikkits. In a detailed post describing his thought process, ...

Tabblo is a site that will import your pictures and help you arrange and resize pix until they make up a poster, so you can print them out. It is a social site, allowing you to share pictures and Tabblos with your peeps. The site features a sort of wiki interface, with AJAX-looking editing tools, though it claims to use DHTML instead. I was pretty happy with the editing and caption adding process. ...

Google is offering public domain books for free download in PDF form. It seems a bit harder to find the free books, as it is only the ones that are not under license, which most books are. I hope they add a feature so you can just search for free books, or a even long list of them would be helpful. Google's PDF download feature is similar to Project Gutenburg, which is a large collection of public ...
