Facebook Ads new Scrapbook Feature for Pictures of your Kids
If you're like most parents, you tend to post a large amount of pictures of your children onto Facebook. However, you've probably noticed that the user-friendliness of posting pictures and sharing them with your target audience and tagging others to reach their friends is subpar. That's why Facebook is introducing a new scrapbook setting.
Now, when you have a new picture to add, you can just go to your Family and Relationships setting, then start a new Scrapbook. You can choose to co-own it with your significant other in order to let friends of each of you see all of the photos. Each child can have his own scrapbook, so that you can organize the photos of your bundle of joy more efficiently.
If this sounds interesting to you, you should definitely check it out next time you log on to Facebook. After giving it a go, check back here and let us know how well it works!

App Runtime for Chrome (ARC) Beta runs Android Apps in Chrome
If you are one of the many people that wishes you can use the apps you love from your phone on your computer, you're in luck. Thanks to Google's new Chrome app, ARC Welder, you can now run your favorite apps like Duolingo, Clash of Clans, or Vine, all from your Chrome web browser.
If you'd like to figure out how to run your apps from your browser, follow these steps:
1. Download and install the ARC Welder Chrome app from the Chrome Web Store.
2. Launch the app and select the .apk file you want to run.
3. Finally, select the settings for the app. (landscape or portrait mode, tablet or phone mode, etc.)
4. Launch your app and have fun using it!
This is new software, so, as usual, expect bugs, and expect plenty. Many apps will work swimmingly with the new ARC Welder, many won't. It's important to contact the developer for any application with bugs, and this is no exception, so when you reach problems, let Google know.

LG G3 now comes with VR accessory at select US retailers
If this sounds familiar, then you've been paying attention and I award you five Internet points. (Warning: Internet points not redeemable for currency in this or any dimension.) We first brought this to your attention back in February, but at the time LG only indicated that the offer would go into effect some time near the end of February. *checks calendar* So oops on that one, I guess.
Anyway, today LG has announced that they are double sure that the deal is kicking in this time and select US retailers will be providing you with a free plastic version of Google Cardboard that is custom made for the LG G3 when you buy the phone. You will also receive a QR code that will net you a free download of some VR gaming content. We are following up for a list of the select retailers carrying this deal and will update when we have it.
No word on how existing G3 owners might be able to purchase this gear, but they are running a contest on Facebook giving away 1,300 of the VR units, so if you own a G3 and have a Facebook account, then head on over there and give it a shot.
I doubt this is going to be enough to tip the scales for anyone to pick up a G3, but I always like seeing companies throw some freebies in with their phones these days. Anyone thinking of buying a G3 now that almost all of them have been updated to Lollipop, or is the G4 too close?

ARC Welder lets you run Android apps straight from the Chrome web browser
Android apps are the best. The only thing cooler than having them run on your phone is if you could somehow bring them to your desktop. Well, you can. Using Chrome and Google's App Runtime for Chrome (ARC for short), developers were given the ability to port their Android apps by having them run as a Chrome app. Initially there were only 4 apps available (Duolingo, Evernote, Sight Words, and Vine), and only for Chrome OS users, although a "hack" was later discovered.
But now, Google's new Chrome app — ARC Welder — gives developers and ordinary folk the ability to test and just play around with Android apps straight from the Chrome web browser. Set up is easy, just download the ARC Welder Chrome app and once launched, select the zip file or APK of your application you want to run. From there, you can decide if you'd like the app to run in portrait or landscape mode, tablet or phone mode, and a few other parameters.
Once you launch the app, you'll have a mostly functional Android app running on your desktop with little fuss. Not every app plays nice with ARC, so your mileage may vary. We were able to test our own Phandroid app amongst a few others. If you guys have luck with anything else, feel free to drop a comment below. For more detailed instructions, check out the official "Getting Started with ARC" page here .

Twitch For Android Updated With Windowed Video Player And Audio-Only Streaming Option
Playing video games is for losers, apparently - these days all the cool kids watch other people play video games. Twitch, the platform of choice for your non-video game-playing needs, has updated its Android client with a few handy features in version 3.2. Both of them come straight out of YouTube's bag of tricks, but that's OK - every video player should let you do this stuff.
The first thing you'll notice is that Twitch now has a pop-out mini-player that lets you browse for a new stream while watching your current one.
