Able to let the sector know all about your most intimate TV-viewing habits? Good, since the SlingPlayer Facebook app is now available, and ready to do exactly that. Once installed, the app allows Slingbox Solo or Pro-HD owners to control their DVRs and watch their favorite live or recorded shows, all from the relief in their own social network. The percentage button doesn’t automatically tie in with any type of guide data, so friends need not know you’re watching the teenager Mom reunion finale on the office — unless you desire them to. The alternative big news from Sling is that its plugin finally supports Google’s Chrome browser (Mac version of FF8 remains a no-go, while Chromebooks can as a minimum access a Flash stream now, but only via Facebook), so if you have been looking forward to how to ditch IE and FireFox then congratulations, your sometime is now.
