Google new navigation bar gets rid of the top black navigation bar which is used now, and the Google menu shows up when you hover your mouse over the Google Menu.

Google’s new navigation bar looks very sleek and easy to use, and it also has features for Google Plus which is Google’s new social networking site. The new Google navigation bar looks sleeker and cleaner then the old black Google navigation bar which took up a little bit of screen space on the top. The new top navigation bar is great for people who have small screens, and low resolution monitors.

I like how the Google Menu shows up when you move your mouse over the Google menu like the file menu on most desktop programs.

The new Google layout sort of reminds me of layout for operating systems with drop down menus like Ubuntu Linux, Mac, Windows rather then websites which mostly use embeded links on the header, sidebar, and footer.

There is also Facebook chat built-in to RockMelt to see who is online to chat with you. You also get notifications from Facebook when you got new personal messages, friend requests, and notifications.

I also use the Tumblr, and YouTube App in RockMelt to see what new posts, and videos are online, or to search for older posts and videos.

Most newer Desktop computers these days come with the sound card or onboard sound card needed for you to hook up a 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 computer surround sound speaker system to your computer. A 5.1 surround sound speaker will make your games, movies, and music more realistic because you’ll have 5 speakers blasting out sound from the front, back, left and right direction. The sub woofer will also make low sounds like the rumble of an engine, helicopter, and drum sounds sound more realistic.

In most cases, for newer computers, you’ll just need to buy the 5.1 surround sound speaker system for your computer, and hook them up to the back of your computer like plugging in regular speakers. The plugs are color co-ordinated with the jacks on your speaker wires, so there is very little chance of plugging them in wrong. Even if you plug them in wrong, you can very easily pull out the plug and plug it into the right speaker jack.

For older computers, and cheaper laptops, you can get a USB 5.1 or better surround sound card which has all the audio jacks, and features needed for hooking up a surround sound computer speaker system on your computer or laptop with USB ports.
