People are starting to list hardware that runs Chrome OS well: http://sites.google.com/a... I amazon'ed an ASUS EEE last night. :)
Any particular reason you did not go with the Acer Aspire? - Nithin Jawali
You mean it doesn't run well on all OSs? - τorƍue
Nithin, I saw someone running it on the Asus 1008HA recently, so I'm going for what I'm pretty sure will work. - Matt Cutts from iPhone
@triggerfinger glad you were able to get such a great speedup--I think users will appreciate it!
@graywolf I think JohnMu's suggestions were solid (use '#', ignore params). I don't think utm will cause dupe issues.
Wow: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009... YouTube adds speech recognition->text captions. Also, YT will take raw text and time-align w/video.
It is really something. Good job : http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009... - bellegarde-webb
@angsuman given the hassle of upgrading web server software, you have a point.
@BenParr the corollary to that equation would be "Google wants the web to succeed and will work to improve the web for all."
RT @googleearth: tour 5 California cities with our new 3D models with detailed facades http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2009... <-- insane!
@robhof I hope everything goes well and that we get to cross paths in the future. Sending good thoughts your way.
Listening to BBC--what happened in the Ireland-France football game?
A blatant hand ball was not called and France scored to win the game. It was one of the worst calls in football I have ever seen. - Vinny
you wouldn't call it as a "foot"ball game, kinda hybrid :) - Huseyin Savas
"[One Irish listener] vowed: “I’ll never drink French wine again.” That started an avalanche of similar promises, such as abandoning French bread and even French kissing." http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol... - Simon

.@taranfx I think you've summarized today's #chromeos launch in terms of features very well.
@BenParr hey, it was a good summary :)
@LordManley because it's faaast. Electrons beat moving parts unless you're doing something really messed up.
@enathu Flash was shown working great in today's demo. In general, don't assume client-side code will work. All #ChromeOS apps are web apps.
If you only had 30-45 seconds to read about #chromeos, @benparr's writeup covers what's different: http://mashable.com/2009...
Can ChromeOS help me start a fire when I'm camping out in the forest? - Otto
Can ChromeOS tell me where my keys are? - Otto
Can ChromeOS show me how to finance a small business loan? - Otto
@Scobleizer to clarify more: Flash, yes. Anything client-side (AIR), I doubt it. In #chromeos every app is a web app.
And presumably Silverlight 4? (ChromeOS) - Cliff Gerrish
I would be surprised. Does SL4 run on Linux? - Paul Buchheit
Moonlight does. - Cliff Gerrish from iPhone
@ffcode @mugginsm I think #chromeos uses similar sandboxing tech as Chrome to minimize attack surface area with Flash.
@dparnas I doubt it. Nothing client-side gets installed in #chromeos. Everything is a web app, even the "native" apps.
@Carnage4Life I don't think they said that on the webcast. Check it out--you might like #chromeos :)
@Scobleizer yes, they demo'ed Flash working now on #chromeos, e.g. watching YouTube and playing a Flash game of chess.
@parislemon people never believe the prophets until it's obvious. :)
@Scobleizer that's for verified boot, but hobbyists can try to shoehorn #chromeos onto their machines (it is open-source).
I can't wait until people like SRWare develop a more privacy-oriented version of ChromeOS. I'd buy it. - Maxamad
I'm still live-blogging the #ChromeOS open-source launch on my blog: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog...
I see about five new #chromeos videos here: http://www.youtube.com/user... . Page views are still tiny for now. :)
@chiendentbel I tend not to track my backlinks that closely, so I don't how many links it took to make PR5. Anyway, it's quality, not quant.
Good! Thank you. - bellegarde-webb
there are lot of tweets and posts going on right now about the Chrome OS. and Matt there are lot more i think Susan is also doing it - ffcode
I'm liveblogging the #chromeos event: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog... rather than sending out a ton of tweets that might annoy people.
Live-blogging the Google Chrome OS event - http://www.mattcutts.com/blog...
Google will talk about launch plans for Chrome OS at 10am Pacific. You can watch the webcast: http://www.google.com/intl...
Sweet, thanks Matt. - Maxamad
