Loving the blind fanboiis:

Blind to the fact that Android got copied 1:1 from symbian
Blind to the fact that Android was too late of a response to iPhoneOS
Blind to the fact that Google is every bit as evil as a corporation can be
And finally blind to the fact that Google is invading their fanboiis/drones privacy with them KNOWING it and LOVING it

Well since Android was bought up in 2005 and supposedly copies Symbian then the iPhone is a Symbian clone as well seeing as how the two are very similar.

It certainly doesn't look like Google was too late to the party since more Android devices are being sold than iPhones.

Personally I like the fact that Google can remotely delete malware from my phone if I don't know about it. Can Apple remotely give you back control of your phone once its taken over via an SMS message?]]>Jun 25th 2010 9:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/Jun 25th 2010 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/here is a logical argument to you illogical argument.
"Blind to the fact that Android got copied 1:1 from symbian"
They are both based on linux. it is open and free for anyone to use. Whats your point?
"Blind to the fact that Android was too late of a response to iPhoneOS"
Android is selling 160,000 handsets a day vs. iphone's 90,000. me.Sounds like it was to late to me.
"Blind to the fact that Google is every bit as evil as a corporation can be"
Even if that is true (in fact, we kind of saw with the cyanogenmod cease and desist letter) it doesn't matter because of the open source nature of android.
"And finally blind to the fact that Google is invading their fanboiis/drones privacy with them KNOWING it and LOVING it"
That is not how you spell fanboys. Anyway, Are you talking about the google street view thing? Can you be more specific? ]]>Jun 25th 2010 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/Where the heck is your logic behind that one? it's not a KIRF for frickin sake

"Blind to the fact that Android was too late of a response to iPhoneOS"
OS Responses are never too late. A good example of that is OS X catching up with windows when it released in 2001. It's gained major ground since then even though OS 9 was way behind.

"Blind to the fact that Google is every bit as evil as a corporation can be"
Really? I love being their customer and I hear that being an employee there is even better. I don't understand why you think they're evil when they provide all of these free services to us and make the internet a better place to be!

"And finally blind to the fact that Google is invading their fanboiis/drones privacy with them KNOWING it and LOVING it"

Every major company has some Privacy Policy issues, but not many of them are major. Just take things out of context and they can be a big issue. This Apple privacy policy about tagging your GPS location automatically is a good example. Apple will ALWAYS know where you are!]]>Jun 25th 2010 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/
This was two years before Apple hired a Touch screen engineer and begin down porting OS-X for their iPod to iPhone OS. Which was the beginning of it's 30month development cycle. They ripped off Andy's ideas in building it around "Location Awareness" and user preference awareness that Andy had touted back in 2003 for his Android's Touch Screen Interface. Apple straight up ripped him off!

But fortunately Google jumped in to buy Android in 2005. If anything iPhone OS and Android are closer matches than Symbian, which is still lost in the dark!

Chrome OS is actually more closely related to Sun's Java 3D OS project "Looking Glass". So it's pure Object Oriented Desktop Interface, running on top of Linux that still retains it's own patent base. That neither Nokia, Apple, or Sun can touch and that's the same for Android. Why do you all think Apple wants to stay as far away from Google as they can? Sue Google and Android's patents have pre-existing artwork and patents, that Google would love to have Apple come after!

Notice that Apple didn't touch HTC for Android. They went after them for Sense UI. Which also predates Apple's patents they're suing them on. But the reality is that HTC is already paying for license fees to Nokia. The same patents Nokia is suing Apple. Which is why Nokia is going to win this first IDC decision! btw... check your AAPL stock, because it's taking a dive right now! :P ]]>Jul 19th 2010 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/]]>Jun 25th 2010 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/Jun 25th 2010 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/Jun 25th 2010 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/Jun 25th 2010 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/Jun 25th 2010 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/Jun 25th 2010 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/
We don't need full x86_64 architecture and thousands of background processes and thousands of command lines and ssh ability etc.

Someone realized that browsing web, emails, watchingvideos on youtube etc is sufficient for most of the ppl.

Just something to be on the net, while not draining too much battery and producing heat.]]>Jun 25th 2010 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/

I agree both with the idea that chrome could be amazing and with the notion that it's a "been there done that" netbook thing. What excites me is that google has been creating promising web aps that I'm hoping will be more integrated into the os than they are in the osx/windows browser. Google docs could be an incredible ap if it's starts to become a reliable word processor available to everyone for free. Chrome could have both offline and online support, saving your docs online when available and on your HDD or SSD simultaneously. This would be a crucial app for students who are broke and could benefit from a cheap os where they could cite wikipedia and write there paper on a cheap computer. ]]>Jun 25th 2010 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/Also, its a tabbed browser with a clock.

Cloud apps are fine for email, calendar, contacts, etc.; but they're inconsistent, usually ugly, and slow.
Take a more complex app like google docs: I love it, I use it, but hey: it sucks. As much as they improve it, it is still slower and less reliable than any native counterpart.

Why giving up completely with native apps, why not just integrate native apps with the cloud? In other words, why Chrome OS and not Android?

I don't wanna be online 24/7 just to spread more information about me to get better targeted ads. I need to work offline, I need complete control over my files; and most consumers need an idiot-proof, eye-candies-rich UI.]]>Jun 25th 2010 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/a-look-at-some-of-chrome-oss-latest-bits-of-polish/

Let me get the ball rolling: I have no doubt google will include .zip archive support in the final release. Chrome[ium] OS is slowly turning from the brunt of steve Ballmer jokes to a very real competitor for the netbook market. Windows 7 Starter is ok, but its not fast at all. Most people have accepted the fact that netbooks will be slower.... But when people see an OS that actually runs great on a netbook, then I think Chrome OS will actually play a huge role in the future of mobile computing.
