If you've grabbed the latest Chrome Beta, you should be able to head into your Settings, then click the "Advanced sync settings" button and see a new option for "Open tabs" (which will be checked if you've set Chrome to "Sync Everything"). Do that on other Chrome browsers you've synced to your account, and on the New Tab Page, you'll see a list in the lower-right corner: "Other Devices." Click that, and there you go—everything you last had open on other Chrome instances. If you're using the Chrome for Android Beta, you'll see those tabs on your computer, and vice-versa, too.

It looks like OnLive bent to Microsoft's will and stopped streaming Windows 7 to iPad users for free.
And while that means it's now issuing the same flavor of Windows as every other Windows cloud desktop provider, OnLive claims it is still going to kick some enterprise butt.
If you remember, OnLive landed in hot water about a month ago for streaming Windows 7 and Office 2010 applications to the iPad.
But Microsoft's software licensing doesn't allow cloud providers to stream Windows -- instead, Microsoft requires every device using Windows 7 to have a license. That would have forced OnLive to make all its iPad customers buy Windows 7 before they could use its free service or its $5/month premium service.
OnLive has now replaced Windows 7 with the desktop version of Windows Server 2008 R2, multiple sources say. That's the form of Windows that Microsoft says is OK for cloud desktop vendors to use.
Some users have said that this new desktop isn't as nice as the forbidden version of Windows 7. The most notable feature to go missing is handwriting recognition, which is a particular bummer for tablet users. But other than that, Windows Server on the desktop otherwise looks surprisingly like Windows 7.
OnLive won't officially comment on the licensing snafu. But it claims it's signing up "literally, millions of seats," for the enterprise version, says OnLIve spokesperson Brian Jaquet. He says the company will soon announce "names with tens of thousands of remote seats that are dropping remoting technology they've been using for over a decade for OnLive," Jaquet says.
We'll be watching to see if OnLive is really going to be an enterprise desktop game changer.

When we last met the Titan, it dominated our hands and brains with sheer massiveness. Now the sequel is here: the old standby, plus LTE and most importantly, a ginormo-camera. Does the big boy still impress?
A very (though not excessively) large 4.7-inch Windows Phone with a giant 16-megapixel camera.
Fans of large phones, mobile photogs, penis compensators.
Nearly indiscernible from the last time around, with a nice added lip to the bottom of the casing. Doesn't feel any heftier than it looks.
Using the Titan II is exactly the same as using the Titan I, only data is (much) faster and the camera is (much) better.
The camera. The Titan II's sensor is a clear champion—and certainly one of the best phone cams we've ever peeped, anywhere, in both broad daylight and the dim depths. Sample comparisons below.
(Note: all comparisons are Titan I/Titan II/Lumia 900, from left to right)
The screen. Sixteen megapixel photos! Awesome! 800 x 480 screen resolution! What a waste! Microsoft please fix this! Really soon! Thanks!
A 16-megapixel camera, but only generic 720p video? Big bummer.
If the old Titan appealed to you, yes—it's the exact same phone with a very nice camera and LTE warp speed. On the other hand, it's the exact same phone in every way but those two ways—not exactly an investment in your powerful mobile feature.
