Google PC to Hit Walmart?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the google-snowball-effect dept.

Fahrvergnuugen writes "According to latimes.com Google is set to launch the Google PC which will run Google's own operating system. From the article: 'Sources say Google has been in negotiations with Wal-Mart Stores Inc., among other retailers, to sell a Google PC. The machine would run an operating system created by Google, not Microsoft's Windows, which is one reason it would be so cheap -- perhaps as little as a couple of hundred dollars.'"

    Microsoft is so evil for branching into pretty much everything, yet Google appears to be following suit. Of course, this is nothing but a prediction (for those who skim the article)

    I can't tell if you're trolling me, but Walmart is *NOT* a good company, and I won't ever shop there. If you're paying attention, the latest example involved a very large settlement for illegal labor practices, but that's just par for the course when you consider how Walmart treats their employees.

    Preventing the depression? Stabilization. I might look at your source, if you have one, but I think it more likely that you should cut back on whatever it is you're smoking. The reason for "might" is because I already know you can find some "economist" who will say any damn fool thing. If you actually have a source, and if he has reasonable credentials, and if he isn't being paid by Walmart, then it would probably be interesting to see what he has to say.

    Fine. Please do me the favor of designating me as your "foe" so that I'll know to ignore you--though my settings will mostly do it preemptively. I don't suffer fools gladly, and you've convince me that you're a fool. Congratulations.

    I'm not interested in arguing with fools or their sock puppets. Do us both the favor of designating me as your foe and I'll simply forget you exist. Don't worry, there are plenty of other /. fools for me to encounter.
