Enginerdery : love of all things science, engineering, creative, design, and nerd um... ery.
Any thoughts on this logo concept? I don't have money for a designer so I'm winging it ATM.

I know, a little bland.

I need to give the base company site some love... since it's been just a placeholder for over a month.
- mikepk
Hmm Friday night at midnight, probably a bad time to ask for logo feedback. :)
- mikepk
any thoughts this AM?
- mikepk
Well I'm running with it for now as a new placeholder.

I like the first one better than the second one.
- Internet's Tad
Agree; first one looks better
- Maxamad
Second.
- Roberto Bonini
I like #1.
- Trish R
The second one is asymmetrical. No me gusta.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
Thanks guys. Running with the first one until I can hire a designer (who knows when that will be ;) )

Although I guess there's some hubris there in considering myself an artist worthy of such patronage :)
Looking forward to Cuban sandwiches and beer tonight at Chez Henri.
I wish I had more time to just hack technology. Is there some kind of technology art patronage I could apply for? Kings and Popes of tech?
.@psychemedia we can dream. :) Maybe when my new startup hits it big I'll set one up. :)

"Google doesn’t need to have a runaway success with ChromeOS (or Android for that matter) right out of the gate. They’re playing the long game, to quote a certain famous hockey player, skating to where the puck will be. They have the luxury of huge amounts of revenue and cash to be patient, to play the long game."

"I also think it's far too soon to know where exactly this tech is going to find it's niche. It does feel like innovators dilemma though, most people poo-pooing it as not good enough but it's going to find low end entry points (like you point to) and then incrementally improve to eclipse the incumbents."

"I think there's another huge potential market in the enterprise. It's been a holy grail of sorts, the stateless, tightly-controlled, thin client. Google could allow companies to host their own data cache 'mini clouds'. I could see lots of people signing up. Would drive adoption of Google Apps and be a major source of revenue for Google down the line."

They don't want native apps, that limits the benefits of moving users to the web (for Google) #chromeOS

Does it though? To elaborate, "native" is relative. A good Javascript framework + HTML5 + CSS3 + WebGL + Flash (the development environment for Chrome OS) enables quite a bit of things and anyone who says otherwise is being lazy or wearing blinders, IMHO. The point that he made in the Q+A about this (and it's a good one) is that the real reason apps were the big focus for iPhone is that...

I guess I meant iphone or android market-like native apps. I agree that using web tech that's custom to chrome will be OK for them and somewhat 'native like', but they'll still be web apps. What they don't want is people using installable packages on their installs. Invalidates the stratgic reason for developing chromeOS in the first place (getting people to use web apps). Of course that's just my opinion. :)
- mikepk
truly installable apps would lead to people developing 'standard' desktop OS type apps, like word processors and what-not. They'd much rather people use Google Docs, etc...
- mikepk
An android app and an offline-deployable web app are really the same thing at the core - just two different platforms. Add a an offline manifest to your game and you've got a web game that functions like a standard iphone game. For a twitter client, you can use DOM storage to store the last 50 tweets and bring them up sans network connection.
- Matt Mastracci
I think it's a matter of 'perception' of the app. They want people using web apps with an emphasis on *web*. That's where they're king. I'm not saying you can't create compelling apps that are desktop-like on the web. :)
- mikepk
That's an interesting point... the whole distinction between "web page" and "app" is so blurry right now. Native applications are dependent on web services and web pages are caching more and more data locally. From a development point of view, a web page that richly integrates into the OS is a bit more compelling for me (IMHO of course). I agree with you though - it's really just perception in the end. They want a lightweight, zero-install install OS that just works.
- Matt Mastracci
Oh, I mis-parsed your first post. You're saying that native apps limit the benefits of moving to the web and that is Google's reason for not wanting native apps. Whoops, I responded with the other parsing of that sentence in mind (the entire first clause is something that limit benefits). Yes, I agree with you.
- Chieze Okoye
native apps are for phones and web apps are for notebooks.
- Todd Hoff
I see it as more about the web deployment and security model than the particular technology used to run code. Javascript, Flash/ActionScript, and Native Client are all pretty fundamentally than *installing* applications that require user action to update. That's the difference, IMHO (to be clear: I have no direct involvement in ChromeOS, so I'm just speaking for myself here).

OK major code push is done. A few things broke, but got them back up and working. Still getting lots of new users to http://snapmyinfo.com
