Install google chrome via apt 3rd party repo, then it will auto-update

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list'
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

Install the hangout plugin so that it will auto-update via apt.

I believe i had to use the ubuntu package to cut the isight firmware so the MBP camera would start working in chrome.

NOTE: I gave up on Chromium when google started jamming it up (requiring frequent cookie clearing).
