12/31/2012 - No longer maintained, as I have moved on to other interests. Updated so that it works with the latest version of chrome, and will continue to look at future issues, but no active development. I recommend switching to something like Awesome New Tab Page if this troubles you.

2/19/2013 - Provided a patch for tiles mysteriously vanishing. Tiles should no longer vanish in that particular way.
