Google: Hack Chrome OS, please

Brad Linder — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 14:25:12 +0000

There are two schools of thought on cloud-based services. The first is that the most secure place to store your apps and data are in the cloud where you won't lose anything if your computer crashes or gets stolen or if your house burns down, taking all of your backup hard drives with it. The second is that one of...

Installing Jolicloud on the Google Chrome Cr-48 notebook

Brad Linder — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 19:55:20 +0000

Google Chrome OS is an operating system based around a web browser, designed to almost make the computer irrelevant by letting you run web apps, store your data in the cloud, and easily access your settings and information from any machine with a web browser. Jolicloud is a Linux-based operating system that works much the same way, but also lets...

Brad Linder — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 14:19:29 +0000

Sure, the Google Cr-48 laptop is a device for early adopters who want to test Chrome OS, not the general public. But aren't you a little curios to know what it looks like under the hood? Apparently you're not alone, because Engadget has published a series of photos from a user who received the laptop yesterday and then promptly proceeded...

Google: Chrome is for keyboards

Brad Linder — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 03:39:01 +0000

For a company whose bread and butter is search, Google sure is working on a lot of operating systems... or two, rather. The company's Android OS has taken the smartphone space by storm, and we're starting to see it show up on tablet computers as well.

Google Chrome OS ported to the Apple iPad

Brad Linder — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 14:14:48 +0000

We've seen hackers install Google Android on the iPhone, so it it any surprise that someone decided to cram Google's upcoming Chrome Operating System onto an iPad? That's exactly what one hacker named Hexxeh has done. Hexxeh is probably best known as one of the first people to compile early builds of Google Chrome OS from source and make them...

Google: Android isn’t designed for tablets… yet

Brad Linder — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 12:55:18 +0000

Google clearly didn't have tablets in mind when it designed the Android operating system. Way back in 2007, tablets were generally expensive computers running Windows software which often had a full keyboard, a screen on a swivel, and active digitizer and stylus doohickeys for input. Android, on the other hand, was aimed at smartphones. Flash forward a few years and...

Brad Linder — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 16:12:40 +0000

OK, so Google might launch a tablet this fall running its browser-centric Chrome Operating System. OK, so Chrome OS is designed to run web apps instead of native apps stored on a hard drive.
