Just installed Google Cloud Print on my PC. Installation was easier than even plugging in a USB printer.
By connecting your printer with the Google Cloud you will be able to print to your printer from any computer or smart phone, regardless of where you are. Just activate the Google Cloud Print connector in Google Chrome and your printer will automatically be available to you from Google Cloud Print enabled web and mobile apps.

I had previously mentioned Foxit Reader as a recommended alternative to Adobe Acrobat for viewing PDFs, and while that still stands, I would also recommend the Google Docs Viewer for viewing PDFs through your web browser. A couple of plug-ins do a very nice job of seamlessly integrating the Google’s Viewer into your Firefox or Chrome browsers as plugins. Plug-in download links below:

Quick little tip for Google Chrome users, and yet another reason for you to use it. Pressing SHIFT + ESC brings up Google Chrome browser’s internal task manager showing the memory and CPU usage of individual tabs and extensions, revealing what is hogging up the memory. Not being able to figure this out was a major annoyance of Firefox as it become more and more bloated over the last couple years.
