Now run most of your android apps on your PC using Google ARC

Now you can run and enjoy most of the Android apps without buying a new android phone.

Google has launched new ARC Welder software that allows users to run Android mobile apps through the Chrome browser on any operating system: Windows, Mac OS, Linux, or of course Chrome OS.

To bring your favorite Android apps to a PC or Mac, simply install the Chrome browser and a chrome app program called ARC Welder. Once opened, the latter program requests access to an APK file that corresponds to the app you wish to run.

Initially accessible only to developers, ARC Welder is now available to the general public through the Chrome Web Store. Still in the beta phase, the program is not entirely stable yet and can only run one app at a time. So far, Google has only made a few Android apps compatible with the program.

In the long run, however, Google’s goal is to make all of its Android apps available across multiple platforms (smartphones, tablets and desktop/laptop computers), a little like Microsoft’s idea with its forthcoming OS, Windows 10, and its dedicated multi-platform app store.

There’s a Game Hidden inside your Google Chrome, and it works on Android too!

Friends you might be familiar with the 8-bit T-Rex dinosaur that pops up in Google Chrome when you try and access a website while not connected to the internet. The T-rex had short arms and therefore lot of things were out of its reach. Chrome, like that dinosaur, too is having trouble reaching the Internet, but that little dinosaur hides an amazing secret game which you can play offline.

If you turn your WiFi off and then try to access a website using Chrome, the dinosaur will appear informing you that it was unable to connect to the internet. If you then press the spacebar on your computer and instead of spacebar tap on screen on your phones, and the little dinosaur will burst into life and begin running across the screen. The T-Rex will run and your mission is to prevent it from bumping into the saguaros.You then can use the the spacebar to make it jump over onrushing cacti of varying sizes, racking up a bigger score the longer you last. It’s a pretty basic and simple game, but it’s also really addictive.

The game is written in JavaScript and you can find the complete source code in the Chromium repository.

Is the 2013 Range Rover the world’s best SUV?

The 2012 Range Rover was swell — beautiful interior, powerful engines and styling that earned icon status about five years ago. Designed and introduced back when BMW owned Rover, the Range Rover was the rare design that survived a full decade without seeming dated. But ten years equals an eternity in the car business, and 2013 heralds a new Range Rover era. The new SUV looks much like the old one, embracing the Porsche 911 strategy of not messing with a good thing, but making it just different enough to tip off the neighbors. The real action lies under the skin, where Land Rover tackled the old machine's biggest problem: its weight.
