Google OS Chrome Leaked.

October 14, 2009 · Filed Under Google, Tech · Comment 

TechCrunch earlier today had reported that a Google Chrome OS folder was online publicly with some information on the upcoming Operating System. After that information leaked a user found a way of getting the source code and compiling it which leaked even more information and snapshots of the OS. And now it is available to download from RapidShare.

Be warned that this is not guaranteed that it will work for you seeing as its a leak and not made for the public. The images don’t show anything exciting. Overall it looks like Google Chrome browser with some extra buttons. I will have to wait and see when more information is available to make a better judgement about it. As of now I don’t see this as a hit.

Google recently made the biggest announcement that it has made in a while, they are going to release an Operating System in 2010. This might just be the greatest competition that Microsoft will ever have in terms of regular users. It seems like Google Chrome the browser was just a small part of what is going to be Google OS. Google on their blog said that it will an Open Source OS which will be made to take full capacity of the x86 architecture. That is one of the main reasons they just didn’t use their Android OS.

Chrome is going to be targeted for Netbooks so they can run light and faster Operating Systems. This could take a good market share and later expand to bigger and more robust Desktops. We all are expecting Google Chrome to have a simple and light way of working. Google already has a bunch of online Applications which they could easily integrate with their Operating System. This is already creating a lot of buzz on the internet and I can not wait to see what other details will they be giving about this new Operating System.

Update (7:22pm): The partners that are supporting Chrome OS have been announced and Google has announced a small FAQ answering some of the questions that have been going around the internet. The first question asked is the one that many were hoping to hear, Chrome OS will be free. And the list of partners supporting Chrome OS say a lot about what we could expect. Just to mention a few of the sponsors are Adobe, ASUS and HP. Two of those are one of the biggest creators of NetBooks. This gives a bigger answer to everyone, Chrome OS will come out strong.

Google Chrome, The New WebBrowser.

September 2, 2008 · Filed Under Google, Tech · Comment 

It seems like Google has done it again. This time Google has caught everyone by surprise with the release of a new beta program called Google Chrome. It is a new Web Browser developed by Google with a very clean and simple look. It seems to be based of Mozilla and taken some Firefox ideas and a mix of Internet Explorer. So far the reviews have positive things about it besides the fact that it has limited capabilities. But seen as it is the first beta release a lot is expected from it. So far the best feature it has is its simplicity and quickness. It also runs every tab in a new “application” so if a tab/website crashes the whole application won’t go down with it. As far as memory goes it seems efficient so far beating the heck out of Firefox. I’m actually posting from it right now and haven’t had a problem with any website that I’ve encountered so far. Give it a try and judge.
