My official website

Well normally when I talk about a open source program/os I do it lovingly and proudly. With Google’s Chrome OS I don’t feel the same way. I find it interesting that we are giving ALL our digital information to Google without a second thought. Google has a product for everything:

Google is building a super monopoly of really good free products. This is very bad! Soon small programs like me will not be able to make products to compete with Google’s monopoly. Can you honestly find something you do on a computer that Google cant do? But enough rambling about the big G lets talk about Chrome OS!

I personally (wait for it) dislike (wait for it) cloud computing.(NO HE DIDN’T!) I dislike the idea of ALWAYS being online. Google is trying to move the market in that direction because that’s what all their products do, compute in the cloud.

I found Chrome OS to be dumb as it is JUST a web browser. I was hoping for some revolutionary interface or some revolutionary features but was disappointed. Lets start by saying it was slow for me in a VM but that is probably normal. I also found it to be unintuitive and confusing. At one point I wanted to see if I could change a setting and couldn’t figure out how or where to go to change it. How do you shut it down? It also rendered this website horribly. I HATE IT! (It does download file though….) I HATE IT SO SO MUCH!

If you are thinking about trying it about trying it, just fire up Google chrome on pc. It’s the same thing except you can do other stuff too. Google doesn’t realize consumers might spend 99% of their computer time online but that other 1% is so frustrating on Google chrome os it makes it unusable. It crashed more that Vista did. It is open source though so good job there.

Ubuntu netbook edition is a WAY better choice if you want to get a free netbook OS.

Google chrome os is just stupid.

I give it a thumbs down.

EDIT:

Apple bought Lala before google had time to close the deal.

So you can ignore that part of Google’s digital monopoly
