Chrome OS: all web, all the time

As you might have noticed, the guys at Google have released (bem, not released, eles apenas mostrado publicamente pela primeira vez; Chromebooks estão saindo em junho 15) Chromebooks, which are netbooks that run the Chrome OS.

Chrome OS (Site Oficial)

Mais informações sobre os computadores reais mais tarde; the interesting part about the computer is its operating system. Chrome OS is a completely web-based operating system; it’s nothing but Chrome, Google’s web browser. Está certo, the only application on the computer is Chrome.

Não é possível obter o suficiente Angry Birds? Jogá-lo on-line

Playing Angry Birds 1-1
A red bird crashing into a structure, killing a pig in the process

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 (mais sobre isso mais tarde)
  2. Adobe Flash (desculpe, 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 (bem, 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.

Mas, when you think about it, it makes some sense. Skype has 663 million user accounts (claro, not all of them are active) and about 8 million paying users – obviously not very many, but it’s still some.

Bing: o pequeno motor que… não podia?

Se você comprou um dispositivo eletrônico no último ano, você vai notar que a Microsoft está vendendo o seu motor de busca Bing mais do que eu anunciar meus produtos. (Em uma nota totalmente alheios, baixar Cabra, meu programa flashcard livre e de código aberto.)

Isso é tudo muito bem, desde que você está autorizado a anunciar, 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.

Esqueça as unidades flash com 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.
