So Google has finally decided to get serious about computer operating systems. This can be nothing but great news. Of course, we can’t expect it to compete with the good old contenders as soon as it’s launched, it will most likely be used in the dark by linux enthusiasts. I expect it to be a flawed gem, but around the third release it should at least be good enough to run on netbooks. Around that point, if Google starts a heavy ad campaign, who knows? It’s working for Microsoft’s Bing, and Google is already well known, and used by many. It’ll never be a Windows killer, not even Steve Jobs will be able to do that, and that’s because Microsoft is just too deply embedded in the common man’s perception of computers. Until the computer world is revolutionized, Microsoft will likely be around to torment us all, their blue screens barring their nasty teeth at every corner of every street. Error: Missing system file: Chrome.dll
In other news, the Chrome browser is almost done for the Mac! Maybe I’ll be able to browse the web without crawling back to firefox now… There are some nasty bugs in the 64bit version of Safari 4 on Snow Leopard. It can’t make comments on facebook, but that’s happening on their server, can’t blame Apple for that, as proven by it’s fluctuation status. More importantly, the browser dies every time I try to use the blogger editor! As I dislike Firefox, I might just not write a lot of blogs until the issues is fixed.
Song of the Blog: Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright
