How To Remote Access Any PC/Laptop Using Google Chrome New Extension

There are a plethora of tools using for remote access,ie connecting to one from computer from another wireless, purposes with the likes of Windows default access,Team Viewer & many more.Now Google's Chrome browser gets an extension,a download of 17MB which would enable it as a remote access tool.
The Google Chrome Remote Desktop Beta was launched on Friday,which is a separate extension for Chrome which allows users to remote access their machines through the Chrome Web-browser.This software is supported on multiple platforms and allows enthusiasts to connect to their Windows PC/laptop,Mac's,Linux,ChromeeBooks  as long as there is a Google Chrome browser & the Google Chrome Remote Desktop Beta extension.Once installed on the target & host system,then the user just has to click the "share This Computer" & it generates a 12 Digit access code which you must enter in the remote access system for access.If the session/connnection gets disconnected/gets broken,a new 12 Digit accesskey must be generated again.A pop of indicator will indicate which user is remotely accessing currently @ the remote computer.
                                                           This extension also uses Google's Gtalk technology to send/receive  messages between the target & host system.The performance of the extension depends on the quality of network connectivity & also the speed of the computer.There wont be any audio sent over the Remote connection so you cant hear any voice output of you are playing any videos in the remote system.Now that this version is made available for free,the companies will definitely try to reduce the cost of their Remote access tool & if Google implements more sophisticated features like voice support & more,then it just might edge out the competition in this field.

How To Remove "The Other Bookmarks Folder" From Google Chrome:Chrome Hacks

Although Google Chrome is much better browser than Mozilla's Firefox in my opinion,but there's one feature I really found annoying with Chrome:"The Other Bookmarks Folder".It was blocking my default bookmarks & so I was looking for a way to fix it.You cannot delete it if you try to right Click & delete as the option will be greyed out.Also deleting it via the Chrome Bookmark manager will also not work,nor can it be re-located to another location.Finally I was able to come up with a fix -All you have to do is delete every Bookmark and sub-folders in Other bookmarks & Viola it will disappear once it has become empty.
If you encounter any issues feel free to comment & I will get back to you @ the earliest.
