Looks really cool, good job google
- Sugary0
more of an internet system not an operating system... which is cool for the 90% of people who soley use their computer for the internet, so there's definitely a market.
i'll stick to the old fashioned way tho...

If nothing else, they achieved something you'd kind of expect from a modern computer, that it would start up instantly.

i dont spend 90% of my time online. shit i still got boxes that aren't online at all. like my mini render farm.
also i'd like to know the Google Chrome OS operation conditions for botnets ...

looks cool if you're only into cock-camming w/eastern european web hookers @ $6.99/min...
... if they really want to wow me - they should build an OS that will allow you to install both Mac and PC software and handle them w/better proficiency and security...
... also - I don't like the idea of having my computer data completely stored online - it appears not much is local anymore?
- it would support apps that don't have OS dependencies if you recompile them for NativeClientPupsipu
- apps with OS dependencies would need something like WINE for Linux, a port of all the goodies in WindowsPupsipu
- problem with that OS dependencies idea is that you shouldn't have those. Frameworks that come with OSs should be for all OSs.Pupsipu
- should be for every OS.. And storing your data in the cloud allows your employer to invade your privacy and share your work habits with other employers.Pupsipu
- work habits with other employersPupsipu

GOOGLE HAS OS?

I think it's perfect for dual boot
Just to check email? Boot chrome OS
Time to work? Boot regular OS
- dijitaq0
^ if you were in chrome os and need to work you have to reboot. but if you were working and need to check email you still got your mail app. i'm sticking to regular os. i'll use my 45 seconds to make sandwich.

eventually, google will have multi-massively parallel quantum computing clouds and you'll just use a virtual front side bus to plug into a virtual cpu that's 1000s of times more powerful and fast than any local itty bitty little chip you would have on your own hardward at home.
Home, and indeed all hardware will disappear before too long, when its neuro-terminal-chrome all the way out of here.

Why anyone would think that storing EVERYTHING online, including completely personal info, music, videos, etc etc is a good idea is beyond me. Do you really trust a company as big as Google to manage all this stuff and not expect somthing in return?
Not me thanks.

I like that google stores all my phone calls, emails, waves, documents and calendar online. This way, they can serve me the advertisements that I truly need to see.
Ever notice the google ads beside your gmail are about penis enlargement? That's because google sees the pics you send to your girl.

your personal information won't necessarily be on google's servers.
The good thing about having everyone's stuff searchable, indexable and in "one" place is that it allows you to do more things than you could have done before.
Companies could better track and manage employee productivity for example.
As far as selling your data to other people against your wishes, that's not in the interest of whoever runs clouds. It would give clouds a bad reputation and increase the unreasonable amount of paranoia.
An employer that runs a cloud in the company might do that, and reveal which employees are unproductive. But that isn't exactly your private data.
