@krishang3 "c version"? Are you talking about the Celeron? I hear the Chromebox is going to have an i5. Is this what you're talking about? The real problem is that Google didn't care enough to get it right the first time they released their product. But I don't think you're worth explaining to, by your reply. I have wasted too much time with Google and one of its Ninjas, hours and hours trying to "fix" my Chromebook. Google is fucking incompetent. I fucking hate them. I wish a Chromebook on you.
@evilturtle999 yeah thats kind of true but on the bright side its mainly made for people which stay on the internet half the time :) wndows 7 ultimate is just right for me:P but i also boot into android ics sometimes too:P

@pspatapon That's a really sucky idea.. Android and iOS and such operating systems are well adjusted for small mobile devices. But as a developer you are completly locked to a very small number of things, like programming language. The programming language used for Android is java, and the one for iOS is Objective-C. For android for example, there is very strict how activities work and its not suitable for a normal computer.
Erm.... how is Google dominating the world doing anything different to what Microsoft did throughout the latter part of the 90s and the early parts of the 2000s? Oh wait, they're offering practically everything for free. Ha. Besides, most people who use computers these days who aren't specifically designers or developers will benefit tremendously from this.
Perhaps this could be called Chrome Lite OS and they could bring out a more indepth full operating system that let's graphic designers, programmers and the like to rival the likes of Mac and Windows. I like Ubuntu too.
i have a window based netbook at the moment which i use to watch youtube and email ..basic stuff...i hate when it take for ever for my 1g/ram netbook so long to boot so i can be on the net (i never use it offline) this chromebook is perfect for ME. if i wonted to play game id get a desktop to do that.. its not a game machine or an office computer..you have all miss the point...and to poeple saying use linux..what netboook can you buy that comes with more the 1g of ram in it

Or can I just use it to browse the Internet and read emails?
@kpsuk It's the beginning of something new. To be honest, it makes absolute perfect sense for everything to be web based.
What's the point in having so much dedicated memory/hardware locally, when internet speeds are making it more efficient to have a concentrated source of technology that we can all tap into. For example, it's not unrealistic (and I think I read somewhere) that we could have a dedicated server that just streams the video/audio of a computer game to your browser.
@ignika98 I wouldn't but a lot of people do, just trying to understand what this OS (which looks more like a glorified website of menus) can actually do if nothing is stored locally.
If all it's good for is browsing the internet & reading emails, it serves no purpose.
beside from the fact that you need a constant internet connection, this looks really useful on netbooks with 3G. Rather than those useless "tablets' that are meant for... well I don't rly know tbh xd
@umairyc i heard that in the chrome OS comps, you get like 16 Gbs worth of space to save it on your own computer. The rest of the stuff is saved to the cloud. or something across that line, i don't quite remember :)

Also, if you're missing the application tab, load up the AppJump extension, which sticks an app button in your extensions area, and also allows you to group your apps logically. Only problem with AppJump is that the groups don't sync between computers :/
I'm sorry but this is just stupid, Google should stick to being a search engine, let apple, Microsoft, and Linux work with software, and let me keep my local storage.
@iPoder9008 Google Chrome OS is not actually a operating system, it is a software system where the Linux is the operating system. And Google Chrome is open source and it can be developed by F/OSS community as well in Chromium project, from what the Google takes snapshots to Google Chrome.
@iPoder9008 Dear god no. Microsoft Windows simply SUCKS from a design perspective. The underlying architecture is horribly laid out, prone to errors and security vulnerabilities.
Mac is better coz it's based on the BSD kernel, but Apple's ONLY goal is to make money so they take technology backwards.
And as for chrome the browser, it was the best thing to happen to the Internet. And their work on V8 and NativeClient was so damn impressive and ingenious that they SHOULD lead the world everything!
@shocklateboy Sorry but i disagree like one person said on here what if you don't have internet then it's pretty much useless not that the idea is bad it's just impractical i mean i can see why people would want to use this but overall it just doesn't work for every one like me who has weird internet it wouldn't work for me
@iPoder9008 Okay I'll admit the use cases are slim atm. Netbooks are meant to be portable and that means the internet won't always be available. But I'm sure they'll implement *proper* offline support for everything before this is released. (keep an open mind)
I defended this so much is because of how impressed I was with what they've done 'under the hood'. And I'm sure if Google does decide to create an OS that would compete with Windows/Mac, they would kick Apple/Microsoft's ass!
@iPoder9008 I know, that was a big problem for me when the removed support for google gears. But it's okay they seem to be bringing proper HTML5 offline support soon, so a lot of their services (eg. Gmail, Google Docs) will run without internet.
And once you do get reconnected, it'll sync your changes to the cloud completely transparently.
And trust me, I'm a full time Linux user and personally, I very much prefer Client Apps much more than Web Apps, but that doesn't mean they are *stupid*.
It is an insult to windows, Mac OS, and linux OSes. Poor thing, they all thought OS is not just a browser. So as rest of the world. How dumb are we, I am glad that Chromium is coming out and opened our eyes widely and talking about booting time of a "browser" and comparing it with Windows and other OS platforms. How lame.
How can he do this stuff? Why does it look like that? I'm using a two-day-old dev channel build of Chrome OS on my Cr-48 and it looks and acts in a manner COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from this! This would be awesome! Why don't they use this instead?
@Koman92040 How is it inconvenient? The new tab page is just as many clicks away as a Chrome menu would be, and the actual page looks more or less the same. They put a lot of functionality into a single page, and the two have identical uses, so why two pages for the same thing?
The end of useful client software is nigh. Long live the bareboned, reduced and slow APPPSSS. People get so used to Internet, that they don't know what a good application is.
WOWOWOWOW!!! IT'S FAR BETTER THAN MAC OS X!!!! THAN WINDOWS!!! But unfortunately, it isn't offline OS, it is cloud OS... BUT IT IS VERY VERY EXCITING OS!!!
I buy it except for the argument that cr-48 is "built around the core tenets of speed, simplicity and security" - yes, but if cr-48 defines a cutting edge, we've got big problems with cr-48 which needs a significant hardware upgrade. Ppl like developers, architects, computer gamers and the like are looking to the GOOG / ATI / Global Foundries trio to provide. The only real product on the gaming market alone is Steam which remains greatly lacking + we haven't even put up a security suite... .
Most games are made for windows and i dont like unnecessarily messing around so I stick with something simple. I do mess around for fun but using linux as a primary os is just plain silly.
@SPARTANB064 I've been using Linux (Ubuntu) for years and I don't think it's silly at all. Games are way better on PS3 or XBox360, so I really don't see the need for windows.
@Eikus89 haha console tard. jk Games are better on pc, have you ever heard of Crysis? or Halo Custom Edition? Games are NOT "way better" on consoles (most of the time) so basically Windows is the best choice. Or some crappy laggy Windows emulator for Linux.
@SPARTANB064 There's "Gimp" for photo manipulation, "Blender" for 3D graphics and I know I've heard of a linux CAD program (I've never used Flash Pro, so I don't know what it's for). But why the fuck would I want to mod Halo? I may be nerdy, but I'm not THAT nerdy. :P Besides, I don't play Halo or Crysis, and I don't want to either. But the main reason I don't want Windows is because I don't want to support a non-free operating system (btw windows is, unlike linux, very buggy and annoying).
@Eikus89 since when was windows buggy and annoying? I have xp and it's fine unless you do something really idiotic and screw up. Linux has driver issues. Plus everyone knows GIMP sucks. Photoshop is better.
However, blender is cool.
And how the FUCK do you not know what Flash is for??? Animation, ads, games, web apps, etc.
@Eikus89 well, i dont pay for my copys of windows. hell, the major university of my country doesnt buy thier copys of windows, they just burn them from torrents!
love to see this in a nettop ie a really small low energy desktop . would be great as cheap home pc as cheap hardware and no software like word needed,would also be great in libarys , and stuff too love to see a nettop what do you think?
Well, I can't imagine that my netbook is offline and I can't listen to music or watch the video. Chrome (browser) is really cool, but as an OS it sucks. I can't imagine that I can't store data on MY OWN COMPUTER.
@bartoszbudz but redundant backups on servers on a cloud... would in effect be better in case your Hard-Drive explodes. I'm sure there would be an implementation for storing music and videos on the device. And if not, an app that works in chrome can access the local storage on the device.
@Adromeda90210 Of course there are some advantages of the presented solution but I'm not sure if I will get used to feeling that device that I paid for isn't really mine.
@bartoszbudz In theory, you can, just as we saw on the OS demo, it recognizes USB devices (like cameras, etc), so we just have to get an External HDD and be happy! =D
@bartoszbudz What makes you think it can not store data? Perhaps you do not understand that it only hard stores the main components such as browser and etc. You can still save anything you like. The fact is, for most people, this makes computers a whole lot more powerful, even though its simplified. For folks like gamers and developers, that is another store, but they are not the masses. What COS does is make a computer, out of the box, that does what 90% of people do, without all the overhead.
@N0rthwestRadio So the best way to be sure that your data will be available when it's gonna be needed is not to use the feature that makes COS different from any other OS? So what's the point of having it? For people who are "more advanced" users it is another thing to worry about (Is my data on my HDD or in the Internet now?). It is simple, that's for sure, but I'm just not convinced that it's the best solution. And what will you do when particular server with your data will be down?
@bartoszbudz you could always store some music on a flash drive, or on your phone, this OS is not meant for people who do important things outside the web, the facebook, youtube crowd
@bartoszbudz You have it COMPLETELY wrong. CrOS supports---and has supported since its inception--the playback of local content, e.g. saved PDFs or downloaded MP3s and videos. At the same time, it maintains a progressive outlook with its forward-thinking concepts and UI, to name only a few areas in which Chrome excels.
A chromium based web browser with Facebook and twitter integrated, and the option to integrate web feeds. It’s only in beta at the moment but check it out & support it!
sorry but people who say apples are better are right...i dont use apples because they are ripping off the users but still Mac OS is still a far superior UI over google os...might be bloated but still looks nicer...image is everything with apple so its easier to use...price is okay with pcs but windows is becoming too expenssive now...might settle for google os because of price not because its better...clients arent savvy enough for linux sorry...google os might win next if they sell G'OS cheap
I don't get it.. I use photoshop for creating webbpages everyday.. So how the fuck am i going to do all this if i can't store anything on the computer? Say that i want to play some game's, like, COD.. How can i do that, if i can't store the program on my computer? Is the idea that Chrome OS is the computer that i use when i just want to sur or samthing, and when i have to work, or play games or something, i use my PC?
@FreddiefredFredfred No worries, well there are some concerns...there is no real hd on the chrome os,yes. however the concept is to essentially get rid of all the things that slow down your computer and have you work and save your work on a network, i.e the cloud. All your work documents, word, access, notepad, excel ect, including games and other programs are save on a network. This allows you to access your files where ever you have the chrome web browser installed...hope that helped!!
@FreddiefredFredfred Then Chrome OS is not for you. This is mostly for mobile people who use netbooks. Nobody said Chrome OS will replace Windows or Mac completely, just in the mobile netbook market. Not everyone uses Photoshop or play CoD, so this is perfect for them.
@TeraPeoPunjabi Microscum rules in making an new visual cover to an operating system that has existed for 10 years. Microscum is a dead company Windows is on its way out deal with it.
to me if something in my IT world is not synchronised with all, it is of no use.
I would rather have a simple system that is integrated, than one with various different platforms, translations, downloads. Everything before google looked complicated but was was micky mouse Whilst google might look micky mouse it strives for function over form. I can use google to build a LIFESTYLE with IT as a tool not an annoying thorn I can't quite do without.
Chrome OS is really only for people who don't know anything about computers. My Ubuntu 10.10 boots-up in about 7 sec, and i can use it when there is not Internet connection XD. I wanna see someone use Chrome OS without Internet connection, does it even boot without a Internet connection?
@Shift035 actually yes it does! Google chrome os also includes google gears. And with a Solid state harddrive you still can act as a normal computer would... save, load, download anything you want too it. When an internet connection isent detected it will use google gears... This allows you to basically save to the google servers as soon as a connection becomes available! So... Thank google for thinking of everything. And this is not a Microsoft solution... its more of a newer way to compute.
@scarshealedbymusic yes if you dual boot ur computer with ur current os and chrome os then they will still be accessible when ur on ur first os. But if ur talking about a full os replacement you probably wont be able to do this unless Google adds a sort of transition helper or allows files to be stored on your computer (while using the internet for backups of course ;) )

@iPoder9008 Google Chrome OS is not actually a operating system, it is a software system where the Linux is the operating system. And Google Chrome is open source and it can be developed by F/OSS community as well in Chromium project, from what the Google takes snapshots to Google Chrome.

@iPoder9008 Dear god no. Microsoft Windows simply SUCKS from a design perspective. The underlying architecture is horribly laid out, prone to errors and security vulnerabilities.
Mac is better coz it's based on the BSD kernel, but Apple's ONLY goal is to make money so they take technology backwards.
And as for chrome the browser, it was the best thing to happen to the Internet. And their work on V8 and NativeClient was so damn impressive and ingenious that they SHOULD lead the world everything!

@shocklateboy Sorry but i disagree like one person said on here what if you don't have internet then it's pretty much useless not that the idea is bad it's just impractical i mean i can see why people would want to use this but overall it just doesn't work for every one like me who has weird internet it wouldn't work for me
iPoder9008 8 months ago
@iPoder9008 Okay I'll admit the use cases are slim atm. Netbooks are meant to be portable and that means the internet won't always be available. But I'm sure they'll implement *proper* offline support for everything before this is released. (keep an open mind)
I defended this so much is because of how impressed I was with what they've done 'under the hood'. And I'm sure if Google does decide to create an OS that would compete with Windows/Mac, they would kick Apple/Microsoft's ass!
shocklateboy 8 months ago
@iPoder9008 I know, that was a big problem for me when the removed support for google gears. But it's okay they seem to be bringing proper HTML5 offline support soon, so a lot of their services (eg. Gmail, Google Docs) will run without internet.
And once you do get reconnected, it'll sync your changes to the cloud completely transparently.
And trust me, I'm a full time Linux user and personally, I very much prefer Client Apps much more than Web Apps, but that doesn't mean they are *stupid*.

It is an insult to windows, Mac OS, and linux OSes. Poor thing, they all thought OS is not just a browser. So as rest of the world. How dumb are we, I am glad that Chromium is coming out and opened our eyes widely and talking about booting time of a "browser" and comparing it with Windows and other OS platforms. How lame.

I don't like how they got rid of the chrome menu, by moving "apps" to the new tab page, for two reasons.
1) it's inconvenient
2) it makes my chrome laptop look like an iPad, and i hate apple!
Koman92040 11 months ago
@Koman92040 How is it inconvenient? The new tab page is just as many clicks away as a Chrome menu would be, and the actual page looks more or less the same. They put a lot of functionality into a single page, and the two have identical uses, so why two pages for the same thing?

I buy it except for the argument that cr-48 is "built around the core tenets of speed, simplicity and security" - yes, but if cr-48 defines a cutting edge, we've got big problems with cr-48 which needs a significant hardware upgrade. Ppl like developers, architects, computer gamers and the like are looking to the GOOG / ATI / Global Foundries trio to provide. The only real product on the gaming market alone is Steam which remains greatly lacking + we haven't even put up a security suite... .

@SPARTANB064 There's "Gimp" for photo manipulation, "Blender" for 3D graphics and I know I've heard of a linux CAD program (I've never used Flash Pro, so I don't know what it's for). But why the fuck would I want to mod Halo? I may be nerdy, but I'm not THAT nerdy. :P Besides, I don't play Halo or Crysis, and I don't want to either. But the main reason I don't want Windows is because I don't want to support a non-free operating system (btw windows is, unlike linux, very buggy and annoying).
Eikus89 1 year ago
@Eikus89 since when was windows buggy and annoying? I have xp and it's fine unless you do something really idiotic and screw up. Linux has driver issues. Plus everyone knows GIMP sucks. Photoshop is better.

bartoszbudz 1 year ago 35
@bartoszbudz but redundant backups on servers on a cloud... would in effect be better in case your Hard-Drive explodes. I'm sure there would be an implementation for storing music and videos on the device. And if not, an app that works in chrome can access the local storage on the device.

@bartoszbudz In theory, you can, just as we saw on the OS demo, it recognizes USB devices (like cameras, etc), so we just have to get an External HDD and be happy! =D
MatheusMK3 10 months ago
@bartoszbudz What makes you think it can not store data? Perhaps you do not understand that it only hard stores the main components such as browser and etc. You can still save anything you like. The fact is, for most people, this makes computers a whole lot more powerful, even though its simplified. For folks like gamers and developers, that is another store, but they are not the masses. What COS does is make a computer, out of the box, that does what 90% of people do, without all the overhead.
N0rthwestRadio 8 months ago
@N0rthwestRadio So the best way to be sure that your data will be available when it's gonna be needed is not to use the feature that makes COS different from any other OS? So what's the point of having it? For people who are "more advanced" users it is another thing to worry about (Is my data on my HDD or in the Internet now?). It is simple, that's for sure, but I'm just not convinced that it's the best solution. And what will you do when particular server with your data will be down?

@bartoszbudz You have it COMPLETELY wrong. CrOS supports---and has supported since its inception--the playback of local content, e.g. saved PDFs or downloaded MP3s and videos. At the same time, it maintains a progressive outlook with its forward-thinking concepts and UI, to name only a few areas in which Chrome excels.

This allows you to access your files where ever you have the chrome web browser installed...hope that helped!!

This allows you to basically save to the google servers as soon as a connection becomes available! So... Thank google for thinking of everything. And this is not a Microsoft solution... its more of a newer way to compute.
