This post will likely start the F-Word raving and for good reason.For the past so many days, I can't get Google's forthcoming operating system out of my brain waves.
It will have no local applications. NONE.
Why on earth would I subscribe to such a spartan monstrosity whose sole aim is to galvanize my letharghy, wash my brains out, and fill them with ads?
Speed, simplicity, and security.
Imagine a world where your computer would boot up in 7, count them, 7 seconds and you could be online, zooming away in just three more.
Imagine a world where your system resources aren't bogged down by SVCHost or who knows what other meaningless background processes.
Imagine a world where you don't have to worry about throwing the computer at the wall because Vista told you for the thirtieth time that you don't have permission to access files on your own computer.
Imagine a world where you don't have to update, monitor updates, check Windows update, or even run virus scans or spyware, not to mention random utilities like disk defragmenter.
Imagine a world where you don't have to worry about losing your data through a system crash or a good ole fashioned mugging.
Imagine a world where you can access your data, the same data, where ever you have an internet connection.
Finally, imagine a world where your OS is so self-reliant, that if it ever gets corrupted, etc., it will automatically re-download and fix itself.It might sound Orwellian, but imagine a world with Chrome (OS).
If you'll excuse the inherent and outrageous blashpemy, this scripture comes to mind: http://scriptures.lds.org/en/alma/36/22#22

You'll have to send your blog over to James. He would really like this post.
If its all that and a bag of chips, I'm on board.
