Possible Google OS?

Labels: , ,


So, basically, the story is that Google might have an upcoming OS in the making. The long-awaited and possible rumour has been spreading for a while now. But, Net Applications might have some evidence, to prove that Google may actually be working on new OS. This is because, "Net Applications uses software sensors at 40,000 Web sites around the world to measure traffic and come up with its stats. These stats include operating system, browser, IP address, domain host, language, screen resolution, and a referring search engine, according to Vince Vizzaccaro, executive vice president of marketing and strategic alliances for Net Applications." All that being said, it can pretty much track everything that you use to do your work on your computer. Apparently, when they looked at their stats from Google employees, only 2 thirds of them showed what operating system they were running. This meant that the other 1 third of them, didn't have their OS showing. While, their OS was hidden, every other piece of information was able to be gathered from the computer, including browser, etc. This means that they [Google] had it purposely blocked. This may mean that those 1/3 of people with the hidden OS may be using a possible Google OS. They could be testing it out, programming it, to see if it works properly and all that mumbo-jumbo. Clay Ryder, though, thinks that they are instead, working on an application infrastructure because Google is not in the OS business. But, i mean, anything's possible, and me [the Google fanboy] hopes that they are working and testing a new OS. If they come out with information on the new OS, i'm definitely jumping on that band wagon. I'll definitely switch to a Google OS, as soon as it comes out. Though, it may be in the beta forever (see Gmail). Nonetheless, it'll be a couple years before an OS from Google will be released. If they ever do release an OS, that is.

Playstation Home Rumour? Killzone 2 Release Date, Google's Plans for World Domination?

Labels: , , , ,

So, today, i didn't get a chance to sleep in because i had to go to church in the morning. I went to church at 10:30 this morning and on my way home, my girlfriend called me. She was frustrated because she couldn't find out how to put the music on her iPod onto her computer, but by the time i got home she figured it out. So, hmm, i took a quick nap, and my girlfriend called me and woke me up. She told me she was leaving to go to her brother's basketball game, so i was like, "Cool." After she left, i caught the end of the raptors game, and was sure they were gonna win. They were up by 2 with 48 seconds left, and the Portland Trail Blazers hit a 3, leaving 12 seconds left on the clock, or so. With Portland now up by 1, they give the ball to Chris Bosh. He drives to the basket but misses a tough floater / lay-up at the buzzer, so they lose by 1. They're on quite a bit of a slump lately, but i'm sure they'll pull out. Go Raptors Go! So, since my girlfriend left, and the Raptors lost, i took another nap. I woke up, and had nothing to do, so i looked for more RSS feeds to add onto my Google Reader, and after that i clicked on my 'Trends' tab. It told me that since Nov. 26, i've skimmed through 4,449 articles, wow. That's quite a bit, but for the last 2 days, i haven't been able to find anything interesting that i've wanted to talk about, which is lame-o. Luckily, i did find 2 [now 3] articles, definitely worth mentioning.

First, the Playstation Home. Apparently, there is a rumour going around that Playstation is [finally] releasing the Playstation Home open beta in less than 10 days. The rumoured release is scheduled for December 16. Man, i really hope i get a PS3 for Christmas, because i am dying to play LittleBigPlanet, and because i want to get the game which i'm talking about in this next paragraph.
Killzone 2. Scheduled for release on February 27, 2009. They are releasing it in North America and in Europe at the same time. Let's talk about the graphics of this game. This game is going to put the Playstation 3 to a test. This is because it will be the most intense game that has come out for the PS3. It has one of, if not, the best graphics ever rendered in a game, and it is not even using the Playstation 3 to it's full potential. I'm just hoping that the gameplay is at least near the quality of the graphics.
I refreshed my Google Reader and just found this amazing and interesting news. Google's plan for world domination. This is a very nice read / watch, since it is a slideshow. This is from the point-of-view of a French consulting firm faberNovel, and talks about a variety of stuff such as: acquiring Youtube, it's threat against Facebook, and about competing with Windows.
