We could rename the thread to: Google as evil as Ubunto?

Ubunto gets a hair cut, nip, tuck, and nose job; and we call it Chrome. Yes or as others call it: Diet Goobuntoo. Please don't mistake Diet Goobuntoo for Goobuntoo Classic; which might have been called Goobian Linux in ancient times.

How about opensuGoose (Chrome with YaST) and its commercial partner GooSLED?

If you drop the Su you should drop the SE, so appropriately openGOO. Sounds messy.

LMAO!

You bunch are too much!



Google will be after us if we keep this up. Our wanted posters will show up as torrents on piratebay. But don't use piratebay to find the torrents... use Google.

Anyway to ruin the fun you guys are having, I think the Subject line is hyperbole. It's a standard Linux kernel they are running Chrome on, so it's hardly a new era in OS.

The effect of the product, if it takes off, is to move even further into the connected anywhere anytime model of use. The computer just becomes an information appliance. Your average consumer couldn't give a stuff if the OS was Linux or *BSD, or if the browser is Chrome or what. Those are just technical considerations that enable the features Google wants the product to have.

Eventually it will make the desktop model as archaic as mainframe computers seem to us today. Sure, mainframes still exist. Desktops will still exist in the future, but they will just be a small proportion of the computer gadgets around us. You phone is a computer, your media player is a computer, your TV is a computer, your car GPS is a computer, etc. etc.

M$ knows all this. Just recently they announced web versions of M$Office to try to catch the wave. Good luck to them.

I think he's been co-opted by Darthbootu. They have used the dark side of the kernel on him.

Ruin our fun will you!
