For Windows and Linux versions, check out these custom extension builds from Gears Google Group. If you are Mac OS X users you can get it on Google Code.
I’ve tested the Mac version, so far everthing’s working as expected. I believe official builds by Google will be coming very soon if you’re happy to wait.

Google Chrome for Linux & Mac is finally here. However it’s just a developer release which is lack of features.
But if you would like to try it, download this release.
PLEASE NOTE: Google Chrome for Mac OS X Developer Release is a very early release version and does not yet have some of the functionality that a full general release version would have. Many of the features still under development affect the privacy behavior of Google Chrome for Mac OS X. The issues marked in bold text below will be resolved prior to releasing Google Chrome for Mac OS X to the beta channel for broader consumer use.

SmartSleep is a preference pane that dynamically sets the sleep state of your macbook (pro).
4 states available for you to choose :
1. sleep : machine will go to sleep only (saves state in RAM only, battery keeps RAM contents)
2. sleep & hibernate : machine sleeps and hibernates. (default)
3. hibernate only : machine will go to hibernate only. (saves state on disk, battery will not be used)
4. smartsleep : lets your macbook (pro) just sleep while the battery has a high level. If the battery level drops below a certain point ( default is less then 20% or 20 minutes ) it will switch to sleep and hibernate.
Ok. Have fun with it.

If you migrate from linux based operating system to Mac OS X (which is also unix based os), you’ll be missed your root account. It is because “root” user is disabled by default because it’s so special. But you can enable your “root” account in Mac OS X.
1. From the Finder’s Go menu, choose Utilities.
2. Open Directory Utility.
3. Click the lock in the Directory Utility window.
4. Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
5. Choose Enable Root User from the Edit menu.
6. Enter the root password you wish to use in both the Password and Verify fields, then click OK.
Via Apple Support
… And you can test it. Open terminal, type “su -“. Then, type the password you defined in the steps above and walla! you’re now “root”, the master of your machine.

Do you notice that Facebook is doing contextual ads triggered by images on the page? Notice the ads of FreeBSD on the right side and the two girls pic on the left side. The ads match objects in the photo. This is awesome.
