Ohh, yeah, ChromiumOS is open source by the way. So that doesn't sound like it will use a prorietary format. Just a plain normal encryption method, I would guess.
As long as I (and anyone else) can run their own cloud (read: home server or hosted by a provider) where the updates are downloaded from and the data is automatically copied to.
This is just HTTP upload/download or something similair anyway.
I already have my own "Firefox Sync"-server (read: a simple password protected HTTPS-webserver with some PHP-code and a sqlite database).
The whole idea of ChromeOS is that it is automatically updates OS, with your settings and everything saved 'in the cloud' and the only personal things that are saved locally are cache files (as I understand it, what is locally saved is encrypted and what is replicated to the cloud is just the encrypted data. So there is nothing for anyone else to see. So you need to use your username and passprase to decrypt it). The 'web apps' from the 'app store' are connected to your account.
If the hardware breaks you just login to an new device and everything should be 'there', ready to use.
I think that is something else then what Ubuntu is.
The problem is that their is a lot of routing information shared between routers. If we also need to keep the end-nodes up to date that would not scale. And what would be the use of that ? Because that end-node only has one connection/provider, so the upstream router could tag the traffic if you wanted to do something like that.
The problem obviously is that if you add something, how do you know you can trust that information more then all the information we currently have.
I actually have 4 things to say about ads: 1. ads - I'm kind of ok with that in general, people building websites got to eat 2. tracking, datamining, history sniffing - I'm NOT ok with that 3. busy attention grabbing ads which almost make it impossible to actually read the content - I'm NOT ok with that 4. ads which are related to the content - I'm very much ok with that. This probably makes the most sense, I'll be most likely to click on them
The proper term is minimize and their are plenty of tools out there which do beatification. For example the Y-Slow extension for the Firebug extension of Firefox (yes I know to many extensions:-( )

You are partly right, partly wrong.
Javascript is one of the most used languages in the world, and Javascript is a functional programming language.
It just hides it, most people don't see it at first.
Give developers their own VM ?
Ebay also owns some of the most used Ebay-like sites in certain countries in Europe.
Sometimes MIPS, sometimes PowerPC, but very likely ARM.
Funny you should mention Intel, Intel actually bought an ARM-division which produced the X-scale processor:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XScale
The used it in all kinds of things, I think the I/O processors are used in in RAID-controllers.

I don't mind the idea behind ChromeOS.

Because you have your own domain. :-)

The silly thing is here, it's a technology preview/beta test/whatever and thus it might not be the same as normal hardware.
'Want to put questions in the minds of people who might switch from windows? put out there a "rumor" that it has Government backdoors in it.'
Actually, if it is in OpenBSD, then you can be damn sure it is Windows too.
They vigorously check each others code before it is committed. They even keep a record of who checked it.
But for now we just have one person saying all these things. We don't really know what is going on.
LoL
I think it is just a method to keep people away.
I don't think you have any idea how the OpenBSD project works, do you ?
You are a cynical bastard.
I like that. :-)

I personally think Chrome is pretty buggy. It hangs and crashes a lot, not just tabs and breaks TCP-connections before stuff has been downloaded.
Where Firefox would have loaded the page just fine, Chrome would not load all the elements in the page.
Most of the time a refresh would solve that, it is not a server or network problem.
What is the use of loading a page faster if it doesn't load the whole page ?
Also it doesn't have the tools/extensions I need.

This is really good, now we can verify announcements.
More importantly, in the article it says the RIR's also finish their part so now we can start building filters which actually work ?

The open source browser mostly created by Google is called Chromium. The browser Google delivers to the consumer is Chrome.
FF4 will be released in Q1, it solves all these issues.
"There are certainly smaller numbers who are leaving FF in favor of Chrome because of problems with Firefox."
Their are also certainly other parts of the world where Firefox is increasing in marketshare, what is your point ?
It's smaller number.
FF4 also solved this.
