The official Google Chrome website only keeps the link to the latest Chrome which is right now 53. But 53 could not be installed on Ubuntu 12.04 because 12.04 has old g++ (4.6), while Chrome needs at least g++ 4.8.
We could only install some old version of Chrome:

, e.g., Chrome 48 could work on Ubuntu 12.04.

How to migrate git repo from one server to another
Your company may have changed its git server. You need to use the new git server, but your company did not migrate your repository.
A simple way you could do is that:
(1) clone the latest copy of your repo from the old git server;
(2) change the git url in your cloned copy:
git remote set-url origin ssh://git@bitbucket.com/your-repo-name.git
(3) git push -u origin master
After the steps, you will have your master branch in the new repo.

Install Ubuntu 12.04 in VirtualBox on MAC OS
Installation environment
(1) Macbook Pro:
- Macbook: Retina
- CPU: Intel Core i7
- Memory: 16GB 1600MHz DDR3
- Video card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
- Host OS: OS X 10.9.5
(2) Virtual machineProvider: VirtualBox 4.2.20 or 5.0.22 (I also tried the latest one, VirtualBox 4.3, but failed to change the guest OS (Ubuntu) resolution)
Guest OS: Ubuntu 12.04.3 desktop version 64bit
Steps:
(1) Download VirtualBox 4.2.20 and install it on Macbook;
(2) Download Ubuntu 12.04 AMD 64 Desktop from its official website;
(3) Create a virtual machine in VirtualBox (Do note that you need to specify the "Type" as "Linux" and the "Version" as "Ubuntu (64 bit)") with a disk space more than 10GB;
(4) Mount the downloaded Ubuntu image to the CDROM of the created virtual machine;
(5) Start the virtual machine and install Ubuntu on the machine;
(6) After the installation is done, start virtual machine and login the Ubuntu just installed;
(7) The default screen resolution is 1024*768, which is surely too small, to fix which we click the menu "Devices -> Install Guest Additions" of VirtualBox VM; in the Ubuntu, you will find some pop-up window asking you whether to install the new package; just follow the instructions to install the guest additions; please do not install the the guest additions using apt-get in Ubuntu, which may crash the whole Ubuntu somehow;
(8) Restart the virtual machine, and now the screen size can be automatically changed to fit the window size of the virtual machine.
(9) If you need Ubuntu to display emojis correctly, you have to install some new fonts: download Symbola.ttf from http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/ in the Ubuntu virtual machine, and then double click the ttf file and click install to add the font to Ubuntu.
