then there are already tons of OSs for you out there, homovonio.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #2 on:** November 19, 2009, 03:45:20 PM »

Cool for the casual netbook market, for sure.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #3 on:** November 19, 2009, 03:46:12 PM »

looks cool. I would love to have a small internet only laptop with this.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #4 on:** November 19, 2009, 03:48:32 PM »

I like the idea of shaking up your conventional UI for an OS. Isn't there some netbook-only Ubuntu version that's more like a phone OS? I remember seeing pics for it and thinking it looked cool.

Google docs sux. And I like Google, for the most part, but their spreadsheet app is terrible.

I find it hilarious how in some of the videos they play it off like you can't wait 50 seconds to use the internet. They forgot to tell you that while you can use the internet instantly with this, you have to wait forever (literally) to do anything else.

but I guess it could be good for netbooks if it helps with power management

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #11 on:** November 19, 2009, 05:49:39 PM »

my win7 netbook boots (with readyboost on a 4gb flash card) and is ready for the internet within a minute. same for my macbook air!

cool breeze · « **Reply #12 on:** November 19, 2009, 06:02:33 PM »

What you need to do is install a PS3 game, boot computer, make sandwich, use computer, wait a bit, then play the PS3 game. It all balances out.

Wasn't Microsoft teh devil for including a web browser in with their OS? Why is it acceptable now for Chrome?

If this is anything like Google Chrome the browser, it'll be cool for about twenty minutes.

Isn't the Chrome browser among the worst as far as security?

chrome is just a fairly tweaked webkit with better process isolation

it's the perfect mac -- complete form over function! if i'm gonna go mac, i'm gonna get the one that best encapsulates the spirit of the mac (and has a 128GB SSD for speedy boot).

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #23 on:** November 19, 2009, 09:05:44 PM »

I agree with Prole on the Macbook Air. I only hate it because of the price -- that doesn't matter to Prole.

Rman · « **Reply #24 on:** November 19, 2009, 09:13:07 PM »

I like Chrome a lot. It's not really extensible as of yet, but it's fast.

bork · « **Reply #25 on:** November 19, 2009, 10:51:17 PM »

I have yet to try Chrome. It's still not quite ready to go on OSX, and when I boot up XP, I have to use Firefox or IE (for school-related purposes).

I find it hilarious that they talk about having to wait for a bunch of shit to happen you don't care about when booting up your computer, but then spend like two minutes yammering on about a bunch of shit you don't care about before finally getting to the point. And who the fuck ONLY uses a computer for web browsing? Tweens? Housewives? I mean, my wife tends to only use her PC for the internet, but she still makes use of other applications.

Sounds like this will just be another alternative to buying a Netbook with a Windows or Linux OS.

Because this is putting an OS in their web browser. You're talking about getting peanut butter in someone's chocolate, but this is actually the chocolate-in-the-peanut-butter scenario.

Yeah, I found myself auto-listing all the scenarios where I can't access the internetz as well. It turns out to be most of the time.

100% of IT consultants do.

But let's be fair here. They're not targeting IT consultants.

I expect this to be even less succesfull than the browser.

MS. Apple has shown no interest in developing any netbook. That can change at any moment, though.

I use it on Windows. IE is better now but still annoying, and Firefox has hit the shitter. and lol at Safari in Windows. Chrome is lightening fast and does everything I want it to.

Fragamemnon · « **Reply #36 on:** November 20, 2009, 12:51:11 PM »

Chrome is fast but has stability problems and is nigh featureless. The process isolation is pretty ace though, so when the browser or the Flash plugin do go tits up, you only lose one tab.

The developer's build of the mac version has adblock.
