You add 9 cups of rice (perhaps with the plastic cup that comes in the box), then fill it up to the 9 cup line with water. Once cooked, this will produce perfectly cooked rice.

What I would love is poster sized QR codes instead of a small patch of an A4 page. That way you could scan it from afar.

> Most people don't know it exists or that they have an option. You cannot care about something if you don't know it's there.

Most people won't know that these chrome features exist. Most people don't go digging through options and settings, they just download chrome and go, go, go.
