iheartubuntuwe are watching the Google announcement at http://www.youtube.com/googlechrome   ?18:35
pleia2have work, I'll wait for the articles :)18:42
akkWhat are they announcing?18:43
iheartubuntuabout google chrome18:44
iheartubuntuand supposed to release Google OS today as well18:44
iheartubuntufunny they are using Win7 for the broadcast examples of chrome instead of using their new OS :)18:45
jdeslipchrome web store looks great.  Finally a kindle app that will work on Linux19:10
iheartubuntucoming later today: http://chrome.google.com/webstore19:13
iheartubuntuthey are just starting to talk about Chrome OS now19:13
iheartubuntuinstant boot, instant setup19:18
iheartubuntusetting up your Google OS took less than 60 seconds. (although he didnt read the google EULA which was proably 3 hours worth!)19:18
iheartubuntui didnt even see 5 second boot. it was instant19:19
pleia2I was pretty surprised to see how fast the zareason laptop I'm reviewing booted maverick (my desktop is also ubuntu, but I have loads of junk installed that needs to load up)19:21
iheartubuntu"you can uninstall an app on one machine, and instantly it will update your other computers..... and you see when you uninstall it can take like 15-20 seconds"19:21
iheartubuntuso its not instant.. its 15-20 seconds. duh.19:21
iheartubuntupleia2 - uninstalling clamAV from my computer really speeded up boot time19:22
pleia2I don't care much about boot time on my desktop, I'd just never seen the fast bootup of a pristine install before :)19:22
pleia2was impressive19:23
iheartubuntu* product placement for google wifi on certain airlines * :)19:23
iheartubuntuthey just showed offline apps. but sounds like all apps will have to be bought or downloaded from google web store. that would be a shame with so many great linux apps out there19:26
iheartubuntuverizon mentioned now19:28
iheartubuntu100mb free data every month19:28
iheartubuntuplans start at $9.9919:28
iheartubuntuno contracts19:28
iheartubuntuthis is stupid. i feel like im watching a google wrapped version of an apple showcase19:29
pleia2well, apple showcases are successful19:29
jdeslipI am pretty impressed actually19:29
iheartubuntudropbox is free at 2GB19:29
jdeslipno contradict at all - can buy data in chunks and day passes19:29
jdeslipI think this is the perfect device for my dad e.g.19:30
iheartubuntu100mb a month is NOTHING19:30
jdeslipsuper simple and secure and always available for connectivity19:30
iheartubuntua few games and youre paying a monthly fee19:30
iheartubuntuyah, its smart, but....19:30
jdeslipuse wifi19:30
jdeslipthe 100 MB free is just for 3G19:31
jdeslipthen you can par for day passes etc..19:31
iheartubuntuverizons wireless broadband prices are ridiculous as is19:31
jdesliptrue, but not having contracts makes me much more comfortable with19:32
jdeslipit19:32
* iheartubuntu securely stays with ubuntu after seeing this google feed19:32
jdeslipWish my ubuntu netbook had the same deal with verizon.  I wouldn't turn down 100 MB free 3G access.19:32
jdeslipWhy is it an either or?19:33
iheartubuntu100mb will go quick in a day or two if you are traveling19:33
iheartubuntuheck... in one day19:33
jdeslipI still wouldn't turn it down ;)19:33
jdeslipAnyway, I think Ubuntu (and linux in general) is going to get a lot better because of Chrome-OS. Since the webapps are available in chrome on Ubuntu (and other browsers for that matter)19:34
jdeslipI would say I use my phone to tether to my laptop about 100 MB a month now.  I.e. only for emergencies or checking mail at the airport etc...19:35
pleia2when I was in Dublin I had a limit of 50M/day so I actually had to track my usage using the 3g watchdog app19:35
pleia2turns out I *maybe* use 20M/day, I hit 40M the day I went to the zoo and uploaded photos to flickr for twitter19:36
* iheartubuntu checks his old wired western electric 500 phone and wonders what a cellphone is19:37
* pleia2 hasn't had a land line since 200519:38

iheartubuntuyou can apply for the google os pilot program and if selected receive a computer to test out... http://www.google.com/chromeos/19:57
iheartubuntuapparently no ISO yet19:57
iheartubuntulooks like the google OS presentation is almost done. this has been nice filler while waiting for Julian Assange to release his secret password :)20:04
pleia2lol20:04
