Google OS: the end of the hard drive? - CNN
Quote:
With a strong focus on speed, the Chrome OS promises nearly instant boot times of about 7 seconds for users to login to their computers.
"We want Google Chrome OS to be blazingly fast ... to boot up like a TV,"
I thought this was a pretty cool article but I think that it will be a challenge to convince users to buy it since you must buy a netbook specifically made for the Operating System.
I'm not entirely sure how they plan on storing everything on the internet. Does that mean that your computer is almost useless when you are not in range of a wireless network?

step away from that cloud and no one gets hurt
everyone step back an take a deep breath, don't march over the cliff like a bunch of lemmings.
Are you really going to trust anyone or anything with your life's work?
I am in week 10 of a 13 week course, Assessment for Prior Learning, I am trying to round up my AS degree issued in 1984 to at least senior status in a bachelor's program. To do this, I am writing a portfolio. That portfolio is on 2 different computers and 2 thumb drives ( I am anal about version control). There is no way I would trust that document to a "cloud", I've put too much work into it. I don't even trust it to one physical location!
