A scheduling tool that works with academic workload models (not sure if this is Australia specific thing) that optimises[1] academic and resource/room allocation would be very welcome

* No. 1 complaint from students is class scheduling!

[1] with multiple optimisation models

  - students want more classes at student friendly times that allow work+study
  - universities want less classes
  - academics want classes in work friendly hours etc...

The Asus Chromebook Flip works great as a ChromeOS 'tablet' - just assuming that you use it in laptop mode 90% and tablet 10% of the time.

Trying to use ChromeOS 90% of the time in tablet mode just isnt going to work

Should of gone with a slimmed down Pixel with a flip or slide keyboard (with trackpad) - that wold of been awesome and actually make sense

Pixel C doesnt work

Anyone whose tried to use Android as a laptop replacement - with keyboard etc.. knows the pain - Android doesn't work as a 'work' device/laptop - wish it would but it currently just doesnt :(

Google's Chrome extensions are BSD like license

Assuming you've installed the extension you can grab its source from Chrome .config directory * which I imported and updated to github: https://github.com/justinkelly/chrome-rss

The actual original source in SVN/Git may already be public but i've no idea where it is - somewhere deep in the chromium repo??

Hi Guys

Like many on the list I'm a heavy chrome and rss user. Though the demise of Google Reader is no great surprise I was grumpy that Google removed the RSS Subscription extension from the Chrome webstore.

I've forked Google's extension, updated it and loaded back into the Chrome webstore.

Added support for Feedly, NewsBlur and The Old Reader. Removed Google Reader, iReader, My Yahoo

Also code is now up on github
