Chrome OS and Android "Will Likely Converge" In the Future
xchg writes "When Google first announced that the company would be pursuing development of two distinct operating systems, many questioned Google's motivation. 'Google executives, including CEO Eric Schmidt, have downplayed the conflict ever since, asking for time to let the projects evolve. And a few days after Chrome OS was revealed, Android chief Andy Rubin said device makers "need different technology for different products," explaining that Android has a lot of unique code that makes it suitable for use in a phone and Chrome has unique benefits of its own. But Brin, speaking informally to reporters after the company's Chrome OS presentation on Thursday, said "Android and Chrome will likely converge over time," citing among other things the common Linux and Webkit code base present in both projects.'"
Have you ever put your dick in a hotdog bun? I have, and it FEELS GOOD, MAN.
Well, aren't you a pedantic little faggot.
In reality, it's a Web browser masquerading as a real operating system. It doesn't even do that overly well.
Given that they've been working on this for over six months, and that Chrome itself is mainly just a small UI layer over WebKit, what they've produced is absolutely pathetic. It's the kind of crap I'd expect to see at a high school science fair.
If Chrome OS is the "future", then Microsoft, Apple, Linux and every existing true operating system out there has absolutely nothing to fear.
My hope is that Chrome OS attracts all of the idiots from the Ubuntu community. They'll all flock away to waste their time with that crap, while the rest of us can get back to making an open, usable operating system instead of answering their moronic questions.
