    Wow. Timed with the release of their new open-source programming language, this looks like a pretty massive, possibly game-changing move by Google. #chromeos

    @Gann: Holy #*&#! If their build and run time estimates are true, then it is indeed a game changer. The summary I read left me with the impression that its what I was hoping Java would be a decade ago (cognizant that Go isn't an interpretive language). I guess I'm not totally surprised: the Google folks are big on Javascript (and Python internally), so it makes sense to create something that borrows heavily from both. #chromeos

    @quantumbits: Yes, they would be fools not to learn from the languages they built themselves on. And the Googles do not seem like fools.

    It will be interesting to see if/how long it stays open-source. #chromeos

    Can't wait for this. I wonder if it will run on my MBP or at least boot into a virtual machine. #chromeos

    @tande04: That's pretty cool. I'm guessing there will be support for programs that already can run on any linux client? But for the most part, if i boot my computer with chrome OS it'll just be a really integrated web browser with google docs (which i think is kinda neat, especially since i don't play video games on my laptop and i mainly use it to surf the web. If i could get around the slow boot time from windows, and have a real speedy os to surf on... :) )? #chromeos

    If it's true... Google has been running this a little secretively. Not to Apple levels, sure, but they seem to be leaving a little of their radical openness behind. #chromeos

    Hasn't the EU sort of set the precendent on how friendly this type of stuff is? I don't see Google going down that road.

    Stop claiming anything with a dock is OSX inspired, DAMMIT!!! It's a fact that Apple ripped off the idea from the various OSS projects, with the latest version (the dock in Leopard, late 2007) being a total copy of Suns "Project Looking Glass" dock that was demoed in 2003 and developed since 2001. Apple doesn't innovate shit, it repackages (although really well) and puts claim on the idea, not giving any credit to the inventors!

    I still use a CRT monitor. A 15" Dell CRT monitor. But then again, I don't work at Google.

    @OMG! Ponies!: From looking at the pics (image 3 on the link) it looks like it is running on a notebook/netbook (That is if the square with the 2 black blocks in it is the battery icon) with a CRT monitor attached as a external display.

    I still have 1 or 2 CRT screens somewhere around the house.

    Looks like Rocketdock/stardock/some sort of dock. On a windows XP system with the start bar photoshopped out, along with the "_ [] X" area photoshopped out.

    Edit: After looking at it closer and more, it does look like there is a green area on the bottom left of the 2nd image. A area that looks like a faded out "START" area from Win XP.

    edit 2: Thank you very much for the star :). *bookmarks this topic*

    @KTK1990: If you look at the original link, the funkiness in the bottom left isn't a Start menu, but version information. Granted, I'm not saying if it is or is not real, just wanted to point out that correction.

    @KTK1990: Don't want to rain on your parade, and I do also think this is a shop-job, but I think the green start button 'residue' is just screen burn-in, since this is a CRT monitor.

    Edit: I'm an idiot. Saw enlarged pic.

    The only reason I can think of them using something janky enough to have a CRT is that they wanted to see how it would run on an older system.

    If I were going to build something like this, I'd probably go even lighter than Xubuntu as my base. Something like Crunchbang would do nicely, and it's still Ubuntu-based:

    Um, guys? This is Linux running a browser. If this is a web based OS then I can go full screen on my Windows 7 machine and claim that I also am running a Web-based OS.

    Kind of cool but get rid of the whole speed dial thing (too much opera for me) Install [addons.mozilla.org] in place of it. And if you want it far more Chrome-isc Click [addons.mozilla.org] should do. OH and is there a way to make firefox boot into full screen?

    @Jarek James: Thanks for the suggestions--I looked into full-screening it, but it's different for every window manager, and apparently a pain for XFCE's. I'd be glad to hear otherwise, though. Any Linux folk here?
