I just had a thought... I wonder if the OP is so indoctrinated that he/she can't understand how Android, an open source operating system, could be the dominant market leader, as if it's so successful that it must be proprietary or closed.
Google bought the product WindowBuilder, which is a pretty nice visual UI builder. Good Guy Google then open sourced it and donated it to the Eclipse Foundation:
The only cool thing about the web is the delivery model.
CSS, HTML and Javascript should be optional components you *can* use to build web apps, not "the one way" because they're horrifically shitty for anything but simple use cases.
If the web was more bare bones, it would be a much richer, faster, better, diverse place... as long as the security model works. Something like Google's Nacl would be much better than web sites as we know them.

Yeah except you're the only person living in batshit insane land.
No one sane wants more web technologies in the desktop environment.
I don't get why Google isn't leveraging Android here.
Everyone knows it, everyone has an Android device, so they could easily make inroads into laptops and desktops with a new Android form factor.
There's gotta be that one guy looking at the space cadet google architects in the office going "WTF GUYS, Why aren't we doing this?"

Good people are extremely rare.

Protip: When you leave your Mom's basement and go out into the world, you "lose privacy" and so does everyone else.
If you don't want Google Glass down in your dungeon lair, don't let people bring it in.
Protip 2: Smartphones are everywhere and have both video and audio recording devices built in, which can be secretly activated by the user! ZOMG!
I'd be interesting to see how Google deals with this.
It's going to compete directly with their ChromeOS offerings but at the same time... it's based on their other, more successful product: Android.
In your face, Jesus!
BOOYAH!

No, Microsoft has an exclusive patent on Brain Waives, they're using it in Windows Phone 8.
So you're saying copy Android in order to beat Android?
I guess it worked for Android. ;)
I hear Bieber is doing a tour in the middle east soon, this should give him some street cred.
