Tech: Vaporware list: “Duke Nukem Forever” still getting mentioned

  • So, it’s been like a decade since our boy Duke Nukem first showed up on Wired’s long-running vaporware list, and even though it looks like it’s actually gonna get released this year (seriously!), he still made honorable mention on the list. On this year’s list? At least two tablets and a Chrome OS laptop which we’re still waiting for Google to send us. source

Tech: CHROME OS NOTEBOOK DOESN’T HAVE CAPS LOCK (SAD FACE)

  • Look, Chrome OS is cool. The idea behind it is pretty rad, and it might actually make Microsoft irrelevant (finally). But this whole lack of CAPS LOCK THING WE CAN’T GET BEHIND. TO PROTEST THIS, WE’RE WRITING THE REST OF THIS POST IN CAPS LOCK, BECAUSE WE WANT TO SHOW HOW ALIVE THE IDEA OF HAVING A CAPS LOCK MAKES US. WE FEEL ALIVE. source

Tech: Chrome OS’ new fonts: Knock-offs of knock-offs

Fun fact: When Microsoft made Windows, they used crude knock-offs of well-known fonts. History apparently will repeat itself with Chrome OS. source

Tech: Is Google’s Chrome OS really just Android OS with less paint?

  • It is easy to understand why Google wants to keep Chrome OS and Android separated in our minds: Chrome OS seems revolutionary, if a bit far-fetched. Android, by comparison, is the evolution of what are already doing.
  • PC World tech columnist David Coursey • Explaining the issue that rears its ugly head with Chrome OS – people don’t understand the difference between Google’s two operating systems. Coursey’s argument? Google is essentially selling the same thing twice, but Chrome OS does significantly less than Android OS does. Source

Tech: Curious about Google Chrome OS? Now you can try it out, easy

Screen-shot-2009-11-20-at-11.03.39-AM
  • OK, we know it’s here. And like us, you’re probably curious. Fortunately, gdgt realized the same thing, so they hacked the Gibson and came up with a way for people to try it out on their desktops using virtual machines. Sounds like fun. source

Biz, Tech: Who didn’t see this comin’? Google’s CEO resigns from Apple’s board

  • That Google Voice thing must not have helped. Google CEO Eric Schmidt is saying “peace out” to Apple’s board, where he was increasingly seen as a weird fit. Between Google Android, Chrome OS and now the Google Voice debacle, the company has been encroaching on some of Apple’s territory. While Schmidt excused himself from discussions pertaining to products that carried “conflict of interest” baggage, there’s only so many of those discussions one can excuse yourself from before it seems weird. Wonder what Fake Steve has to say about this. source

Tech: Fake Steve Jobs trashes all over the emergence of a Google OS

  • Somehow if you put out a new operating system you’ll get more people using the Internet and then you’ll be able to sell more of those $#%@*^ little ads?
  • Fake Steve Jobs (a.k.a. Daniel Lyons) • Discussing why Google’s new operating system is going to fail. Our favorite part? When he trashes on the tiny size of the netbook market. “Frankly, if the entire netbook market caught fire,” he says, “I wouldn’t piss on it to put it out. But that’s just me.” Oh Fake Steve. *fawn* • source
