I just opened my wheelie bin and a wasp flew out. What kind of sick person would throw a wasp in a bin? 1 day ago

Google Chrome OS

Created 422 days ago.

Google Chrome Logo First of all, let me start by saying that I don’t normally blog about technology stories that are already being plastered everywhere, including the BBC news page. However, in this case, I’m so excited about the story that I feel the need to comment.

Google has announced – finally – that it’s working on an OS to compete with Windows.

Here are the points you need to know…

It’s initially aimed at Netbooks, but will eventually work it’s way onto PC’s.
It will be compatible with both x86 and ARM processors
It will take a matter of seconds to boot up
It is designed around internet use and will be easy to use with a clean interface
Security will be at it’s heart, with Google hoping for a virus and spyware free experience
It will be separate to Android, it’s mobile platform
The OS is expected to be launched in the middle of next year
It will be Open Source, and the source code is likely to be made available later this year

Roll on next summer!
