Brad Linder — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 16:46:47 +0000

Jolicloud is getting ready to roll out a new cloud-based service that the company says will offer a new way to interact with all of your online services from one place -- and that place can be a web browser, smartphone app or tablet app. When Jolicloud first launched, the company made an operating system for netbooks based on Ubuntu...

Brad Linder — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 21:00:14 +0000

The first Chrome OS laptops are starting to ship today, bringing Google's vision of an operating system built solely around a web browser to the masses... or to any masses that care to order a Samsung Series 5 or Acer Cromia Chromebook. But Google isn't the only company offering an operating system aimed at low power notebooks with an emphasis...

French retailer LDLC ships netbook sans OS, recommends Joli OS

Brad Linder — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 14:02:36 +0000

There was a time when it looked like the rise of low cost netbooks would finally lead to the rise of Linux as a consumer operating system. Then Microsoft slashed Windows prices for PC makers building netbooks and the rest is history. But there's still a niche market for netbooks that ship with Linux, or with no operating system at...

Jolicloud now lets you edit Google Docs from the file browser

Brad Linder — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 21:29:37 +0000

When Jolicloud originally hit the scene, the operating system was designed to blur the lines between desktop and web apps on low power netbooks. But I always found the "cloud" part of the name to be a bit silly, since basically the operating system just let you install native Ubuntu Linux apps or shortcuts for launching web apps in a...

Jolicloud netbook operating system becomes Joli OS

Brad Linder — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 18:50:30 +0000

Jolicloud will unveil version 1.2 of its Linux-based operating system later this week. But it won't be Jolicloud 1.2. Instead the company will name the operating system Joli OS 1.2. The name change is part of a shift in focus. Jolicloud initially launched as a netbook operating system, blurring the line between native and desktop apps by letting you "install"...

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 — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 15:20:31 +0000

The folks behind the Jolicloud operating system are pushing out version 1.1 later today. The OS started off as a "netbook" OS, but with this release, Jolicloud has been optimized for desktops and other computers as well -- although there's still code designed to make the operating system pretty zippy on an Intel Atom-based netbook.
