Entelligence: Chrome OS, babies, and bathwater

Nov 20th 2009 3:32PM on Engadget

I agree with Mr. Gartenberg. As novel as the idea is behind Chrome, I simply cannot get myself excited about it. It doesn't interest me in the least as an OS that I'd like to have as my primary.

Also, speaking as an Indian residing *in* India, it's simply impossible for a cloud-based OS to succeed here even in the near future. Countries like India don't yet have the internet infrastructures to deal with things like that. While almost every place in our country has broadband access, not everyone makes use of them; furthermore, there are frequent outages, both of the internet and electricity. It'd be kind of a bummer if you lost half your OS's functionality every time the electricity went out. :)

Also, this is my first comment on the new Engadget layout. Woot.

Firefox 3.6 Beta 1 now available!

Er, hasn't this been available for a while now? I mean, I *am* using it as we speak, and have been for a fair amount of time now. Or this is some sort of an official release??

Cydia creator releases tracking opt-out for jailbroken iPods and iPhones

(I felt bad, Lee, that there are no comments, so I thought I'd give my two cents)

Apple's got a long way to go before it can have the liking of customers who know what's going on behind the billions of downloads of apps. It's kinda like beating a dead horse, repeating over and over about how the App Store needs a complete overhaul.

Oh well. At least it looks like Schiller's actually wanting to do something about it these days. . .

Windows 7 activation already cracked with OEM volume license key

Jul 29th 2009 10:01AM on Download Squad

I believe those keys have been blacklisted. I just checked the torrent sites for kicks, and the torrents floating out there claiming OEM activation have comments stating that the keys have been blocked by Microsoft.

Or maybe I just don't know where to look. :)

Want?

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a wireless trackpad to use with my older (2.5 or so years old) C2D MacBook that's perpetually docked to my home theater. Something sleek, thin, not too small, made of high quality materials. Ideally, it would natively support all of (Snow) Leopard's multitouch inputs, and even more ideally, it would have a charging dock / base. The only problem is that I'm not sure that such a thing even exists. Think you can throw me a bone?"
