Chrome OS: todas las web, todo el tiempo

Como te habrás dado cuenta, los chicos de Google han lanzado (bien, No publicado, simplemente han mostrado públicamente por primera vez; Chromebooks están saliendo en junio 15) Chromebooks, que son los netbooks que ejecutan el Chrome OS.

Chrome OS (sitio oficial)

Más acerca de los equipos reales tarde; la parte interesante de la computadora es su sistema operativo. Chrome OS es un sistema operativo completamente basado en la web; no es más que Chrome, El navegador web de Google. Eso es correcto, la única aplicación en el equipo es Chrome.

Can’t get enough Angry Birds? Play it online

Playing Angry Birds 1-1

If your phone’s battery keeps dying on you because you spend all your time playing the wildly popular mobile game Angry Birds (or if you’re too cheap to buy Angry Birds), you should be pretty excited about this latest development.

You can now play Angry Birds online here. Here’s what you need:

  1. A decent browser (lo veremos más adelante)
  2. Adobe Flash (arrepentido, iDevice users)

As the URL (chrome.angrybirds.com) might hint, Angry Birds works best in Chrome. I’ve tried it on several browsers and here’s what I’ve found:

Microsoft buys Skype

Skype logoMicrosoft has bought the popular IM/voice chat application Skype (bien, not just the product, the whole company) para $8.5 billion, making it Microsoft’s largest purchase ever. I find that a little funny since Skype actually made a loss of $7 million last year.

Sino, when you think about it, it makes some sense. Skype has 663 million user accounts (por supuesto,, not all of them are active) and about 8 million paying usersobviously not very many, but it’s still some.

Bing: the little engine thatcouldn’t?

If you’ve bought an electronic device in the last year, you’ll notice that Microsoft is hawking its search engine Bing more than I hawk my products. (On a totally unrelated note, download Cabra, my free and open-source flashcard program.)

Eso es todo bien y bueno, since you’re allowed to advertise, but Microsoft really goes to the extreme:

  1. Microsoft signed a deal with Blackberry so that Bing would be the only search engine available on Blackberrys.
  2. My sister bought a new computer and was offered a free song download if she searched with Bing.

Olvídese de las unidades flash con Dropbox

I’m sure this happens to a lot of people: you have an important file on your flash drive and you need to hand it in, print it out, or take it somewhere else. Only problem? You lose your flash drive. It’s happened to me far too many times.

So that’s why I decided to eschew flash drives and emailing stuff to myself and use the power of the internet.

I found Dropbox, which lets me access my files from anywhere as long as I have an internet connection. I don’t even need a flash drive any more; I can just store everything I need on my Dropbox account.
