Some surprising announcements surfaced in the Chrome world recently with Google introducing a Chromebox for meetings service. The new Asus Chromebox can power it and so too will HP’s upcoming Chromeboxes which come in stylish colors.
Chrome OS gained some new features in the Developer channel and with a relatively small investment, you can add a new feature to your Chromecast by turning any speaker into a networked audio streamer.
