Google Chrome gets another update, you can now Skype with your Live Messenger contacts, Apple's Lightning-to-micro USB adapter goes on sale, and Send to Kindle comes to Firefox.
- Longer battery life and easier website permissions Google Chrome's latest stable release (Version 23) brings GPU-accelerated video decoding to Windows users, allowing for better battery life. Also notable is the addition of "do not track" requests and better management of website permissions. As usual, Chrome auto-updates, so all these features will be in place when you next boot up Chrome. [Google Chrome Blog]
- Talk to your Messenger Contacts on Skype Windows Live Messenger's Skype integration continues. All current Live Messengers can now now login to Skype and use it with all of their Live Messenger contacts. If you already use both services, you can now merge the two into your Microsoft account.
