Linux Rants

- I know that this isn’t specifically OS related, but I’m a big fan of Virtual Box, and adding this to the client version of the application is just cool.

- This looks interesting.

- Good start.

- It had to happen eventually.

- I must be missing the point of this. ChromeOS is basically Chrome running without the OS underneath. When you put a version of it on Windows, you’re basically just running Chrome in Windows. To each their own I guess.

- I have to admit, that’s 768 more than I thought they’d sell. Kudos to them.

- Pretty high praise coming from someone the likes of Dell.

- I’m not so sure about Paint.NET. I’ve never used it (why would I? I’ve got GIMP.).

- I’ve tried the VMWare version of Chrome, but I haven’t had the chance to try it booting natively on a USB drive. I’ll give it a try, but I’m not sure my Dell can run it.

- Anybody that didn’t see this coming just hasn’t been paying attention for a REALLY long time.

- Uh, what?

- I would disagree with this, personally. I think Apple comparing a feature that you might use occasionally with the superiority of Verizon’s 3G network, on top of features that you’d use significantly more often (a flash on the camera? Come on Apple) is pretty lame. I’ll leave you to judge.

- It’s an interesting question from an Academic perspective. I seriously doubt that Google will be giving away Netbooks any time soon.

- Seems counter intuitive at first, but makes a good argument.

- I’ve been poking around the ChromeOS for a couple hours here (I’ll have an “in depth” look at it in a little bit), but this seems pretty much true. Chrome isn’t designed to be a revolutionary OS. It’s designed to get the basics done quickly and easily. I’d say that it does that, even in the crappy beta(ish) version I have.

- I was planning on building my own, but after my usual laziness kicked in, I got my image here.

- Interesting little factoid. I’m still thinking on this one.

- OH, I want to try this RIGHT NOW.

- It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out considering how divergent the two platforms appear to be, at least for the moment.

- If you think you’re up to it?

- He’s got my vote.

- This is interesting criticism that Google should take seriously. I think it’s a tad bit disingenuous to note “We are selling 400 times more games on iPhone than on Android.” What’s the difference in Market Share right now, and how much does that compensate for the difference?
