Google's upcoming Chrome Operating System is designed to put the net back into netbooks. It's basically an operating system built around a web browser.

Google Chrome netbook specs leaked?

Brad Linder — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 14:48:49 +0000

There's a rumor going around that Google isn't just developing an operating system for netbooks (which we already know is true), but that company is also in the process of developing an actual netbook. While Google isn't exactly known as a hardware maker, this rumor falls into the plausible category, since Google is also widely reported to be developing a...

Google Chrome coming next month? And to Loongson-powered netbooks?

Brad Linder — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:37:29 +0000

It's no secret that Google is working on an operating system aimed at netbooks (at least initially) called Google Chrome Operating System. But while the company announced a few months ago that the OS would be available as a developer preview by the end of the year and wouldn't actually show up on devices until 2010, there's this magical place...
