Capcom heralds “Kill Big” as the tagline for a new Lost Planet 2 trailer — and you can certainly see why after the break. The trailer’s full of big vehicles — big trains and big helicopter things, all carrying big dudes with big guns and big armor, wearing big helmets with big cylindrical ears. Those big dudes are shooting their big guns at gigantic Akrid and sometimes manning big mechs too. Everything about Lost Planet 2 is big, in fact — except for Capcom’s video player. It’s merely okay-sized.

Since you last saw an edition of Chrome Corner , we’ve done some re-thinking about what it should be. Instead of trying to force together a weekly update when there’s sometimes just not enough news to justify doing it, the Corner will now crop up whenever the crew at Download Squad has a nice haul of of Chrome-y goodness to post about. Today’s topic: syncing across multiple computers! Google Chrome can sync your bookmarks, but what about all the other bits and pieces that you want available on all your machines? Passwords? Form data? Notes? The Extension Gallery has plenty of awesome options that can help you keep all your Google Chrome installs marching in step — read about eight useful ones after the break! Passwords and form data: LastPass , RoboForm Apart from not having the same set of bookmarks available on every machine I use, nothing irks me quite as much as having to recall and re-enter all my passwords manually

Those of you running Google Chrome ’s half-stable, half-dev-channel beta version now have access to two features which cropped up a while back on the developer and Chromium nightly builds. Auto-translate has landed in Google Chrome Beta 4.1 for Windows, as has the improved content control panel in Chrome’s wrench menu. If you’re a grizzled Firefox vet and have been missing NoScript (or you’ve put off trying Chrome because of its absence), the new controls will be a welcome addition. Head to options -> under the hood -> content settings, and click the JavaScript tab. You can then add domains to your allow and block lists, or even disable JavaScript entirely if you choose.

Google builds a lot of fantastic web-based tools in-house, but it’s been known to buy up some really nice existing services instead of reinventing the wheel. Picnik , a popular web-based photo editor, is Google’s latest grab . It makes a lot of sense, because Picnik does a great job of cropping and touching up photos, and it comes with a lot of fun effects. If Google plans to reinvent photo-editing in the cloud, it may as well start there. What Google’s official blog post about the Picnik acquisition doesn’t mention is that Picnik has a partnership with photo-sharing service Flickr that dates back to 2007 . Flickr, of course, was purchased by Yahoo !, and competes with Google’s photo service, Picasa . I suspect this is more than an attempt to score a body blow on Yahoo! - even though, frankly, Flickr is better and more popular than Picasa - because Google’s post encourages readers to try importing to Picnik from Picasa Web Albums, Flickr or Facebook.
