I noticed on TechCrunch that Google Chrome has been updated. So I checked to see if mine was up to date.
Go to the spanner > About
Then on the About box you should get a Update Now button if there is an update.
Click that and you should be good to go!

Google Webmaster tools was complaining that my content had duplicate meta descriptions. I found that it was always displaying the blog description on all the pages.
I found quite a few meta tag plugins but I settled for the Improved Meta Description Snippets plugin with a small modification.
I added this else block at line 119 In the improved-meta-description-snippets.php
else { echo '<meta name="description" content="' . get_bloginfo('description') . '" />'; }
That displays the default blog description on the home page. Then I removed the default meta description in the header.php in my current theme.

Google Chart API lets you embed small charts by calling a URL to Google’s service. Here is a Hello World example URL and the chart.
http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p3&chd=s:hW&chs=
250x100&chl=Hello|World
You get 50,000 charts a day free. With some local caching that can go a long way. I suppose later you will be able to rent the service.
