Google chief executive Eric Schmidt saying it had to be rebuilt from the ground up because of the fundamental differences between the Mac OS and Windows. 'We intend to do it,' Schmidt said." Update: 10/30 23:51 GMT by M : Seems like Reuters and others may have heard wrong about a potential Mac version.

    Google doesn't care about Linux or Firefox...

    Where is the official Firefox Google Plugin?

    Where is the desktop search for Linux? Nowhere!

    You Google fan boys may wave flag at your will but admit it: Google is a company, it wants money and there is no relevant money on Linux Desktop.

    It doesn't prove anything. If your homepage was about gay life, you would see that over 90% of your visitors owned Macs.
