Update on audio issues

Well, it's been more than a week since the last Chrome OS update was pushed out to my Cr-48 and it looks like the audio issue is fixed. It has been rock solid!  (Pun only partly unintended.)

Audio issues since Chrome OS updates

Like many people around the world, I have been glued to the Al Jazeera coverage of the popular uprising in Egypt, which really highlighted a problem that started to occur after the Chrome OS update I posted about last month.  After the update, the audio in audio or video feeds would suddenly turn into a mix of static and squealing. The only way to fix it was to restart the Cr-48.  But, it looks like the last update that just loaded last week may have fixed it - here's hoping!

I just don't think about it anymore...

I realized I haven't posted anything for a while.  The reason is simple: the Cr-48 has become such an integral part of my life that I don't even think about it anymore. It's the first machine I reach for when I want to do anything on the web, it's constantly in my backpack - it's just part of my life now.  The only thing I really haven't been able to do with the Cr-48 is development. I've tried some of the Google Labs development tools and, of course, the Google developer tools; but it really is very limited. Not that I've given up!
