Google Chrome Os - Rush Time

As for Google mentioned :

" Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at net-books. Later this year we will open-source its code, and net books running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we’re already talking to partners about the project, and we’ll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve. "




But the major leaks I found is every file you store move or even trash happens to be in remote server .


It is similar to saying even your personal credential files will be exposed to them and your only allocated necessary privileges to access the files . I dono how far it is gonna be secure .




Persons with limited network bandwidth will be harder to use because each operation is a complicated network oriented .




Third even if I have huge hard disk say several TB's we are forced to access file from/to network which adds on burden for traditional off-line users .





As they mentioned Chrome OS as LIGHT WEIGHT BROWSER BASED OS they doesn't seem to match with high end gaming as well as with advanced hardware and software support . They seem to simplify more as only single processor is utilized even you have multi-core's.( Under utilization of available resource as far as I learnt :))





Guess this is a better matched OS for atom based processors and x86 series.



well this time Im expecting a real worthy OS from Google ( rather years ago I got a distro named GOS which is nothing rather than a new Themed Ubuntu :P)

Google chrome OS demo:






Free open source and Linux kernel are the pleasing words , as for as the project is concerned which gained my attention.

Grub or Lilo ? what are they ?

well before stating about GRUB and LILO let me briefly say what are they :

They are Boot loaders .. Exactly they are piece of code which places your operating system from secondary hard disk to RAM when you switch on your PC . Thats why we say ' My PC didn't boot ' instead saying like Iron box or TV doesnt switch 'on' .



well any how this doesn't be much seen by naive users and mostly hidden Then why care about those thing ?

even seems like its hidden it has many consequence on multiple OS environment . If you used Linux past three years before then you will be more familiar about grub error 17 stage 1.5 error ( once we annoyed at this strange one and thought even hardware is totally gone useless :D )

I know speaking about grub and LILO is a most unresolvable one like we already have

KDE vs Gnome

Emacs Vs Vi


as once Linux article said :

" no arguing about a Linux distribution's bootloader. With LILO (LInux LOader) as the dominant software for this purpose, many seasoned Linux system administrators had mastered the art of creating a lilo.conf file out of thin air, without having to look through any LILO documentation. "




But Unfortunately for them, the release notes of Red Hat 7.2, released in October 2001, informed us that "we now use GRUB as the default boot loader." This is point where Grub emerges



Cool Grub at start up :

Grub

At present at Ubuntu 9.10 grub 1.97 is beta ( remember once its alpha release with several bugs) and even detects RAID 0,1 and all server configuration with less effort and also Grub provides its own unique interface ( Type grub in console to open up )

As far as Linux geeks grub is emerging technology with efforts to replace LILO and easify users with problems stuck on MBR

Any how , competitions makes a better product in all ..... well this is not an exceptional case ;)

Is Google Go gonna take a go?

Well Google is a is an American public corporation, earning revenue from advertising related to its Internet search, e-mail, online mapping, office productivity, social networking, and video sharing services as well as selling advertising-free versions of the same technologies. Google has also developed an open source web browser and a mobile operating system.


Recently I heard about something like a Browser called chrome and Latest Wave ( every one fights for it ) and another project recently put on my ears is Google go .



Whats it exactly ?


well name doesn't reveal any of its identity about the product ( similar to every open source softwares does ;)) is a new language gonna be developed by Google team nearly 5 years of hard work from now .



Google's Go could improve on existing programming languages by simplifying development without sacrificing application performance, but it will likely take years for Go to attain an established position that will allow it to have a noticeable impact.


Google GO Team :

google team of wave
well as Wales said about Google go :

" Go's syntax friendly, with a clean feel to it like Python's and Ruby on Rails', while also familiar to the syntax of C-based languages. He also likes that, as a compiled language, Go's applications run extremely fast. "






I dono what this guys gonna do with Python and Ruby rather stay away from this field ..




If its a productive and cleaner language well other than few years of dumping its library and making its syntax familiar , its a less burden thing for me :)


But this guys sucked at chromium ( Linux edition of chrome ) with loads and loads of fatal errors and shooting bugs .

well let them fix it since its in beta till .

I remember the inspiring history of Google and its growth

But what happend to this guys at present copying a pokemon ball , tracing a bull shit logo ..






Copying a pokemon ball and made it as chrome :

Recent release Google wave logo resembles windows :

Windows X


Well , let that all things remain apart .as an Inspired fan of Google and awaited person for Go let me see Whats the Go Gonna do in field of programming language :P

in the list of thousands and thousands of burdens which already exists ;)
