It’s Official, Chrome OS Coming Second Half of 2010

by | Nov 19, 2009 | | 0 |

 

  We knew it was coming and hoped for an early beta.  Either way we will be getting Chrome OS next year.  The operating system is like many suspected and meant to integrate seamlessly with the cloud.  The OS will integrate the suite of Google apps along with a very lightweight, open source platform.  The x86 and ARM platforms are both supported thus leading us to believe it could be on some very hand mobile devices.  Late 2010 or about a year from now we will be sure to try it out and let you know if it is worth the upgrade or change.

Happy Windows 7 Day!

by | Oct 22, 2009 | | 0 |

 

  Windows 7 is officially among us.  The long awaited Vista replacement/upgrade is a significant step in the right direction for the Operating system.  Windows has met the maturity of OSX and the differentiation is more of a preference than that of security and stability.  Windows has driven me to long nights and near insanity in the past with its numerous bugs and whatnot.  This time there has been little hair pulling since the first beta was made available.  Now we can all rest for awhile and have a worthy succesor to XP.  If you’re in the market for multiple PC’s or copies for Boot Camp on your Mac then check out the $149.00 family pack and save yourself some money.

iPhone Gets Much More Web Use Than Other Smartphones

by | Mar 2, 2009 | | 0 |

 

  This may not be a surprise for most of us as the iPhone offers one of, if not the best web experience from a phone.  

 

"Net Applications’ February results show the iPhone operating system having managed over nine times the usage of its next smartphone competitor, Windows Mobile, which had just 6.91 percent of the traffic measured across tens of thousands of sites."

 

This does not say that other phones are not used for this purpose, but seeing how the iPhone is the newcomer to the smartphone category, the lead is significant.
