谷歌即时走向桌面版的第一步(图)

新华网1月17日电 据科技博客网站Gizmodo报道，谷歌即时将一改只能在移动设备上使用的惯例，逐步登上桌面版，虽然现在只是在谷歌浏览器上弹出，这也是其最终登陆桌面版迈出的第一步。

谷歌即时虽然挺棒的，但其局限在于只适用于移动设备。一直以来，我们都在等待谷歌什么时候能推出Google Now的桌面版，而且越等越感觉希望渺茫。终于，谷歌开始在Chrome beta构架里探索桌面版的谷歌即时了。

虽然我们十分期待谷歌即时能融入新改版的谷歌首页，但是现在还只是登陆桌面版而已，能到这一步谷歌粉丝已经十分满足了。现在谷歌即时卡片框通过Chrome的通知系统定期向用户发送，谷歌即时还没有属于自己的固定展示区域，对此，谷歌公司做出了解释：

如果您已经在移动设备上使用谷歌即时并登陆谷歌浏览器，您就能在浏览器上看到许多即时卡片，比如天气、比赛分数、实时交通和备忘录卡片等。许多卡片内容可能会根据您移动设备的所在位置显示相关信息。

虽然这不是最理想的展示状态，但谷歌已经迈出了关键一步。

谷歌Chrome浏览器页面上有许多非最终版的有趣设计，谷歌即时功能现在所展示的区域就在Canary中。Canary每晚更新，非常地新潮，但总有好像要崩溃的迹象。如果用户还想让谷歌即时显示在桌面上，其实可以自己动手设置的。安装之后，登陆谷歌浏览器，在地址栏输入网址"chrome://flags/#enable-google-now" ，在弹出的菜单上将“默认”转变为“激活”，然后重启谷歌浏览器。

你无法长时间忍受Canary，这一点没人会责怪你。我们所能做的就是继续期待谷歌即时能在更稳定的谷歌浏览器区域出现，也该是时候了。

Google Now Just Took Its First Steps Onto the Desktop

Google Now is great, but it\'s only on your mobile devices. We\'ve been waiting on a desktop version for what feels like forever. Now, finally, it\'s just starting to poke its head out in the beta-est of Chrome\'s beta builds.

So far, the Now integration is a far cry fromthe redesigned Google homepage you might be hoping for, but it\'s the service\'s first foray onto the desktop so we\'ll take what we can get. What we can get is Now cards delivered periodically through Chrome\'s notification system, but no place to just go and look at them all. Google explains it this way:

If you use Google Now on your mobile device, you can see certain Now cards on your desktop computer if you\'re signed into Chrome, including weather, sports scores, commute traffic, and event reminders cards. Some of these cards may be based on the location of your mobile device.

It\'s not the best implementation, but this is early early days. Google\'s Chrome browser has a whole bunch of non-final flavors, and the one the new Google Now functionality just showed up in is Canary: the jankiest of them all. With nightly updates, Canary is bleeding edge, but always prone to crashing. Still, if you want Google Now on your desktop now, have at it. Once you\'ve got that installed, just go to "chrome://flags/#enable-google-now" in the omnibox, flip the switch from "default" to "enabled" on the resulting menu, and reboot the browser.

If you can\'t stomach Canary for long, no one will blame you. But let\'s all hope this starts popping up in more stable builds as a fleshed out service soon. It\'s about time. [Google viaGoogle Operating System]
