Google is making its own Operating System, thoughts?
CNN Link Here

I'm indifferent at this point. I was all about anything Google made before Chrome came out. Gmail was so much better than any other free email service (& really still is), but Chrome never did anything I couldn't do with Firefox that made me feel I had to switch. I had a T-Mobile G1 & hated it, though I think that was more an HTC (the phone's maker) than Google issue.

I'm interested to see what happens & think competition is rarely a bad thing, but aside from something absolutely groundshaking in the operating system, I doubt I'll be making the switch.

All that said, I (& many others) are paying attention, which is good news for Google in a bad economy.

I definitely favor Google in the scheme of things. With that being said, I do agree Chrome did not do much for me either; I still use Mozilla.

As for the G1, I have the phone and absolutely love it.

X2 for Android.

The Android for the G1 is a very nice OS, I was always a WIN Mobile OS guy, and I've used Symbian, but Android wins, at least on the Mobile level because it actually runs without glitches. Its made for a mobile, not adapted to be mobile.

i use Mozilla, sounds like a type of cheese

Mozilla sounds like cheese to you? lol

"Sir, what kind of cheese would you like?"
"Mozilla"

LOL!

yes it does.....ok....LOL

banning=heart-shaped trim, best thread ever, detroit = hells grundle, don't eat too much fiber, frost is an aryan brotha, k20z3=ocd poop messiah, mowing pants, mozilla = cheese, nogood = king, random, shumby rules, useless thread

The Google OS to me is them just taking their mobile OS and bring it up to a larger screen interface. Take the iPhone interface style and put it on a 24" screen basically, would run great and is super light weight. Probably one of the many reasons they will only be bringing this to netbook/touchscreen tablets (such as the Archos line) first.
Other Google products I have enjoyed over the years, Gmail (joined in 05), documents I started using last year, etc. Chrome brought some new heat to the field in web browser but it is to light weight still. Now Google just needs to let the users (such as Firefox does) add a little and it could quickly start taking some market share.

I believe Google's plan, one reason they are bring so many things about of beta (first Chrome now gmail/documents) is to hit the corporate world. To really make it and take on Microsoft you need to get some major support from big companies and not just your home user (home user will just buy what is cheap).

Dreamer, you have excellent points... However, you forgot to answer one important question: Mozilla = Cheese?

Ah, yes sorry.
Mozilla is a good spread, but not cheese. :yum:

I hate lazy people. Too lazy to search. Too lazy to just look through some threads. Would rather just post a new thread with "Can someone give me recommendations for xyz?" F-ing tools. *sigh* okay, rant over. feel better now.

ok.....mind is made up....going to buy a Z maybe end of next year.


but for now, i need a car with some space for my dad's wheel chair.
i'm looking at a MazdaSpeed 3 hatchback.

some of you guys may remember my dad was hospitalized for quite some time and now is at the point where i can take him out, so i need space to put his custom wheel chair.....i got him a black one with sport bolstered seat and gun-metal finish hand rail on the wheels with low profile tires, not mention i dropped it for lower center of gravity, better control/handling.

Pics of the wheelchair?

lol drop the chair lower amd put some 24: spinnerson it

knew you would ask...lol....have no pics of it.
it's costs as much as a F.I cat-back with Berks HFC's and Stillen G3's and headers. KW V3 coilovers.......wowsers, just realized this now

how was the paint from the dealer was it f'ed like my new FX?

Shum, what made me say this now is b/c i saw Claude's Mazda and i like it

paint is good, dealer pulled a fast one on ur wife, not cool

ya Claud goes through alot of cars. the mazda 3speed 3 is a quick little ride too

since it will be a beater, i'm going to kill it....i do not plan on keeping it too long 2-5 yrs at most

going to the dragstrip with it

woot, mega-rep for 13 points

:bowrofl:

//im outta here, time to tear up the roads

anyone one still up? what's going on?

I'm up now.

+1

lol....

here's the plan...

449.96 for a netbook

plan is to use coupons to save...which are stackable.

so, 50 off 200, 25 off 75 and 20 off 150.

so, 200 + 150 + 75 = 425 and 50 + 25 + 20 = 95

so 449.96 - 95 = 354.96 total.....not bad

brb.......gotta go

walmart has a netbook for $238 here

Got a meeting at work at 11. I hate meetings.

Looking to buy Asus 1000HE, does walmart have that model?

Hmmm, I'm not sure. I know its an ASUS just don't know the model. Shopping sites are blocked here at work so I can't check. I usually just look on my iPhone but I just realized I left home without my cell. :shakes head:

The asus 1000he is selling like hot cakes!! 9.5 hr battery life is claimed.
Not bad, need a light weight thing to toss in
my school bag. or if I can't get it with the coupons, I'll get the lenovo one then. I have someone employee code for discount. Works for Canada and US.

Leaving home without cell will make you feel disoriented all day.
