Build Virtual LEGO Kingdoms With Chrome


What's better than plopping onto the floor alongside a pile of mixed up LEGO pieces, ready to let your imagination roam free? The promise that you won't step on a renegade LEGO brick. A promise that comes only with the worldwide launch of Google's Build with Chrome experiment.


First launched in Australia and New Zealand over the summer, the feature has now rolled out to the rest of the globe, allowing anyone to build and publish their LEGO creations on the Web.


'We think the creative freedom of LEGO bricks shouldn't be limited to plastic bins,' Adrian Soghoian, Google product marketing manager, wrote in a blog post.


The collaboration between Chrome and the LEGO Group has brought the colorful plastic pieces to the Web via 3G graphics technology WebGL.


Use the keyboard or mouse to construct LEGO houses, dinosaurs, Ferraris, or whatever your heart desires. You can even build on your phone or tablet with the Chrome for Android support for WebGL on devices with high-end graphics capabilities.


'We've added a few new features to make it easier to build and explore the digital world of LEGO creations,' Soghoian said.


By signing into the site with a Google+ account, builders can see what people in their circles have created. Plus, a new categorization system for completed builds helps to sort and filter for specific types of structures, like buildings, characters, or vehicles.


The global launch also aims to promote the upcoming LEGO Movie animated film. Enter the Build Academy to train to become a Master Builder, just like Morgan Freeman's Vitruvius. Explore tutorials or try challenges featuring characters and structures from the film, which hits theaters Feb. 7.


Check out the new Build with Chrome LEGO experiment in the video below.


Apple iOS users may be left out of mobile LEGO building, but they will find a handful of Chrome enhancements for the iPhone and iPad. Google on Monday pushed out the new translation bar, a new tab page for faster and easier searching, and a feature that reduces data usage.

Image
The majority of users are waiting for the next smartphone from Apple - iPhone 6 – this year. Unfortunately, the hype around iPhone began to gradually subside with each passing year after the 4th model launched. Therefore, it is possible that the sixth iPhone model of  will not be nearly as popular as it was in the beginning. Global audience perceived iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 much cooler than its early models New iPhones will not cause that “wow”-effect, which was in the beginning, when Steve Jobs' presentations caused a delight and admiration of every new Apple gadget.

Tips: Optimize your blog loading times

A slow loading blog can prevent you from getting new readers and it can also adversely affect your Google rankings.  If you notice your blog loading too slowly, or just want to optimize the speed there are a few things you can do. 1. Use a free web analyzer to determine where your bottlenecks are.  A couple good sites for this are Pingdom and GTMetrix .  These will test your site speed and list out all your elements so you can see which ones are taking the longest to load.  From there you can decide how to improve your speed. 2. Move JavaScript to the bottom of your template. This doesn't actually make your blog load any faster, but it gives the illusion of it because browsers cannot load any other elements such as images at the same time as a script.  So moving them to the bottom allows your other elements to load and render on screen first making the user think your site is faster. To do this, go to Design > Edit HTML and place your scripts just before th...
