This is being tracked as Issue #3543 (among others for sure).  I'm running Windows XP Professional SP3.  I'm not sure if this bug is found on Mac and/or Linux builds of Chrome.  What I do know is that there seems to be a workaround to get them back without restarting your computer and without even closing chrome.  

Here's the workaround to bring the checkboxes back:
When you encounter the bug bring up the Windows Task Manager (taskmgr.exe) and browse to any page in another tab.  Then go back to the offending tab and you should have your checkboxes back.

I always have the task manager running in my system tray so it's very easy for me to do this workaround.  You can bring it up quickly with the key combo CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.  Alternatively you can go to the Start Menu then Run and type in 'taskmgr' or use CTRL+ALT+DEL (but depending on your system that may not directly bring up the task manager but instead multiple options with the task manager being one of the buttons).

My response (via blog comment) to Robert Scoble's recent post found while browsing the Twitter web interface:

#8 is why you don't 'need' twitter as an rss reader - techmems's rss is all you need to stay informed about tech - for that matter, substitute mashable, thenextweb, technologizer - twitter's only 'needed' unless you want to get that info 30 seconds faster. I do think that twitter serves a purpose, but in my opinion an open and federated microblogging system is better than the twitter silo. That doesn't mean twitter should go away, but if they won't federate, then i hope they become myspace to the federated system's facebook. Now wouldn't that be nice?

I've never had a landline (that was my own - that i paid for). I grew up with one, but when i went to college i eventually got a cell phone and never looked back - and don't really see a reason to. 

Now, that said, landlines probably will never die out totally, but for personal use the cell will eventually become ubiquitous. Landlines may go all digital (ip based) as cell has, but to me a landline only means that it's hardwired (not mobile). My work phone, for instance, is one of those fancy (for the 90's) phones with features and park pickup etc and i consider that a landline. Basically a landline is for a location and a cell will be for a person. 

I tend to prefer the use of the term mobile phone (or mobile for short) instead of the 'cell' terminology. Using an adjective that is too technical (cell) instead of a more meaningful one (mobile) muddies the waters and gets us into these semantic rat-holes.

Took these photos today to test out AutoStitch (a $1.99 iPhone app).  Seems like it works okay, but I would prefer an app that took the pictures itself, and had a level that I could follow as I pan.

Trot Nixon brought his factory replica 'Elanor' in today for a bit of service.

I took the liberty of snapping some iPhone photos.  I think his replica was built in 1999 and he might have a little bit of N2O.
