    ChromeOS Zero - is the first OS API with no functions.*

    *Not a low-calorie OS.

      No functions, but they use value-returning-subroutine syrup in its place.

    You mean like, say, Linux?

    Yes, except there's a chance this might actually be the Year of Chrome OS on the Desktop.

    Not a big chance, but better than zero.

    Yeah, that shitty old Gmail has sure made my life hell. Same with that crappy Google Voice number that I use. And don't get me started on pile of steaming feces Google maps is. I just wish there was a good web search that I could use to find replacements.

    Reminds me of that Finnish college kid who was too cheap to buy a copy of minix and tried to make his own operating system back in 1991. Whatever happened to him?

    "H3XX3H" gives me horrible '90s h4x0rp13c3 th34tr3 flashbacks. He's satisfied the "duosyllabic word with mathematical overtone and a letter which could be repeated ad inf." requirement, but needs to stick to the English alphabet in this post-Web/1.0 world.

    Well okay, but aside from free voicemail and call forwarding, a free tiling map engine with some of the best map data there is, and the best web search engine, what has Google ever done for us?

    Nowadays it's not called "chrome" anymore. We prefer "bling".
