Adblock with Neowin.net? Tsk tsk.. But really, it has been known for a bit. It wasn't exactly the biggest news so that could explain why you haven't been able to find much on it.

Ya true I just found it odd that google never released the patch notes for it, my hunch is they released it within the past few days because the build has m with it which is mobile/metro indicator

PS: I had adblock on so I can get a proper picture without ads cluttering it up and to avoid copyright issues ;)

Suuure :shifty:

Just kidding. I haven't tried it for a while now since it has been pushed on the Dev version. Is it still using a context menu instead of the bottom bar (btw, what do they call that bar?) :D

I had been lax in updating Chrome in my Windows 8 installation, but the only problem I really have with the "Metro" version of Chrome is it looks exactly like the desktop version. What I am mainly referring to is that it has the min,max,close buttons. I often use alt+tab to switch windows so don't use them often, but accidentally hit the minimize and it just went down to the lower left corner and I could see part of it there.

I think Chrome needs to "Metro-ize" the browser rather than just stick the desktop version inside the Metro shell or however they did it.

Still nice to use something different than IE.

      Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.

      Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.

      Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
