The reviews of Google’s Chrome OS have thus far been lukewarm at best, and tepid at worst – suffice it to say, no one really has strong feelings one way or the other. It’s doubtlessly cool, but most seem to agree that the majority of the public just isn’t ready to switch to computing on a cloud just yet. So now you’re sitting there with your CR-48, unsure of what to do. Why not install another operating system? Users at the Something Awful forums have figured it out, installing Windows 7 and OS X with little ease – assuming of course that you file removing the CR-48′s finicky bottom panel in order to properly…

A couple days ago, a photo began circulating ’round and about the sphere of Google’s Chrome OS running on an iPad. A picture is worth a thousand words, not the least of which are ones like ‘untruth’, ‘falsehood’, and ‘Photoshoppery’. That last one may be fictional, but google is a verb now, so whatever. In any case, the man behind the photo has leaked more proof of his achievement by posting an unbelievably brief video clip of the device in action, which may or may not provide his tale with more credibility – although, like the photo, this could be just as fake. As the YouTube comments suggest, this could…

Eric Schmidt, CEO of small, obscure search company ‘Google’ (man, that name is never gonna’ take off, amirite?) revealed that the folks at Mountain View have no interest in either a Google-branded netbook running ChromeOS or a followup to their Nexus One smartphone. Their reasoning? While the Nexus One was a necessary ‘experiment’ to push the hardware requirements of the smartphone forward – which, we might add, worked pretty well – notebooks and netbooks are already pretty powerful, especially when it comes to basic tasks like web browsing. What’s more, claims Schmidt, computer manufacturers…

Though it may now be hard to remember, there was a time that Sony was the company that led the tech world. Sony, after all, were the people who helped bring us the Walkman and the CD player. For years, the Sony brand was synonymous with cutting edge technology and sophisticated design. But while Sony are still a powerhouse in the world of tech, it’s now common knowledge they are no longer its leaders. We all know why: their commitment to closed, proprietary technology hurt them immensely in the internet age and now, other more web-savvy companies dominate our  new media world. Apple are now the go-to…

Looks like Google’s mythic operating system Chrome OS will be out this fall. “It’s something which we are very excited by … We expect it to reach millions of users on day one,” says Google’s vice president of product management, Sundar Pichai. Hey, Sundar, anything with the Google logo on it and available for free is gonna be big – no need to be modest or anything, now. Questions are flying around such as what devices will feature Chrome OS, or whether the OS even poses a minor threat to Windows, but I’m not sure the latter is even a question – while it’s shaping up to look like a great little OS, hardcore…
