Google Chrome OS under development {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}

Jul 8th 2009 7:08AM I don't think it will really effect the Mac community. You have to remember that it's Apple, Google and Linux (in it's variations) vs. Microsoft in the OS war. Until Microsoft is defeated, the challengers don't have to worry about fighting each other.
I'm sure most people would rather buy a Mac, but the price is what gets them. So instead, they're stuck with Windows. If Google enters this field, instead it'll be people buying Google products and not Microsoft, causing a big gap in the market.
While most people don't need high power machines, there are people that do and those people will buy Macs. The people that don't will buy Google OS. I think, largely, the reason people don't buy Linux netbooks is because of the lack of commercial backing behind them. People trust Google because they use it everyday. People "trust" Windows because they use it everyday. People trust Apple because they use iPods or iTunes everyday. But no-one uses Linux, so it's weird for them. Unless you're tech savvy, anyway...
So go Google. I hope this dents Microsoft's share a bit harder.

Jun 29th 2009 2:06PM Don't like the new icon... less shiny... less fitting with the rest of Leopard. Thankfully, I know how to change application icons ;)

I like the new downloads manager. Mimics FireFox, Safari, Adium, etc... Now all we need is a Universal downloads manager to replace the need for all these various extra download windows we have open!... wait... good idea! Time to make millions off it!

Useful Windows 7 touch and multi-touch gestures demonstrated on video {Engadget}

Oct 29th 2008 8:15AM Yeah but that's the thing; the dock isn't the main part of making a Mac a Mac. Things like Expose are MUCH more important into how it works.
Don't get me wrong, the dock is good at launching apps and documents quickly, but even things like the Finder can do exactly what the dock does... or you can use Quicksilver. The dock isn't actually that important. It's primarily eye candy.

Don't get me wrong, Microsoft has filled Windows 7 with some nice looking "shine", but from a logical perspective, it just seems like they've made it HARDER to do what you could before (like you have to see the previews of the window you want to open before you can open it, instead of selecting the little button with the window name on it at a glance). I know it got a little over-crowded before, but this doesn't look very easy to use. Looks nice, yes, but not all that easy to use. Counter-productive.

Apple's new MacBook is Mm Mm good {Engadget}

Apple asks for lawsuit dismissal with 'prejudice' {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}

Oct 2nd 2008 3:56PM The choice is either buy a Mac or don't. If you really have a problem that you can't run OS X on your own hardware without breaking the EULA, get Windows or Linux instead. No-one is forcing you to want to use OS X.

And if Apple WAS to cater to all these different hardware configurations, it would become as crappy and useless as Windows is now.

Sep 30th 2008 5:50PM Wow. That video didn't make me think "what a bunch of pricks" at all. How good for their "image".
