Opening links in Chrome for iOS
To actually open a URL in Chrome, the URI scheme provided in the URL must be changed from http or https to the Google Chrome equivalent.
Clever way to bypassing the fact that you cannot choose your browser on iOS (Sidenote: I wonder what would happen if Microsoft ever were to try this). Code example provided.

CSS calc() in Webkit
As mentioned before, CSS calc() was about to come to Chromium/Chrome (Webkit). Since about a week ago, the first part of the implementation has landed into the Canary builds:
Adds calc expressions to
CSSPrimitiveValue. This enables simple (ie no mixing of percents with numbers/lengths) expressions to be evaluated on most properties.
No mixing yet, but quite sure that’ll land with the next commit 🙂

CSS calc() in Chromium/Chrome
Three days ago this was committed:
This is the parsing stage of
calc. The expressions are evaluated and expression trees are generated. CSS values are not created yet – that will happen in a subsequent commit.
Looking forward to the next commits, as this feature will make things — such as flexible columns with a little border in a responsive layout — easier.
Note: calc() already works in IE9+ and Firefox4+ (with -moz vendor prefix).
