Why Google Needs To Pull the Plug On Chrome OS
judeancodersfront writes "It's time for Google to realize that it is way too early to be pushing an OS that only provides a browser. If Chrome OS fails on netbooks it will just make OEMs even more hesitant to use a Linux-based OS instead of Windows. Google should instead build upon its already successful Android platform and provide a system that offers local applications."
Give it up already Google, no one wants your piece of shit web-tablet. They want magic.

Obviously he hasn't considered the Mercedes AMG gullwing.
Oh, yeah, it's not easy to pad these out to 120 characters.
...is like selling a car based on the doors...
And let the terrible analogies flow.
Come on, at least he made it a car analogy
Why? Emacs did it for text editing...

Kull: She told me she was 19!
I think I will take my advice on Linux and Netbooks from an "independent .Net developer".
NOT.
Why was this "news" even posted? Slashdot editor fail.

Well, I for one like this new egalitarian Slashdot that will publish any random moonbat's frothy diatribe purely in order to troll us into dissecting it.
We bite every time, but isn't that how we like it? Be honest now, would you really want to read a cogently argued article that garnered nothing but "Yup" and "Seems right" responses?
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
Why does this person care what OS OEMs ship with? This is slashdot we build our own computers or at least run whatever software we want on them.
Now I'm understanding of not RTFA, but not reading your fucking parent post is a bit much I think.

Yup.
Am I a bad person for knowing, before clicking that link, that goatkcd is where they replace the last panel of xkcd with the goatse.cx guy? And that I think that's funnier than xkcd itself?
However, I think http://xkcdexplained.com/ is funnier than both of them.
Thanks, but I knew that already, silly. You might want to change the combination on your luggage while you're at it. ;P

Gee so Chrome OS is for kids?
GP said ChromeOS is the toaster of computers. You're saying that there's no use for a toaster if you have a toaster oven. Do you normally use one to make toast? Especially if you already have a toaster?
I'm just glad the discussion isn't toaster vs regular oven anymore. Well, in this thread, at least.
(Would bakeries be mainframes? Hm... We need more bread-based analogies)
It is actually kinda funny, though I'm disappointed at the lack of image hover punchline.
which is totally what she said
