There's also Quake Live, which I have to check out btw.O3D will never reach the performance of a native C++ 3D app running on the client. Quake Live is very nice, but all they did is freshen up the graphics of a 10 year old game and create a plugin for a few browsers which allows a viewport to the Quake 3 engine. You are still running the same C++ application from your harddrive, it's just a different interface. As nice as this is, it does not make it a browser game such as flash games.Anoniem: 59888 https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248/google-chrome-os-is-the-web-an-os.html#r_21308#reacties https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248#r_21308 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 10:35:58 GMT https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248/google-chrome-os-is-the-web-an-os.html#r_21274 "What will happen if you for one reason or the other (think of airplane trips) are without any internet connection? " Pretty much nothing, look at the google labs features of gmail. A very nice feature for this kind of problem is offline, all your e-mail is available online and on your desktop (even when you're not connected to the net), new e-mails are updated automatically. And with MS Windows you will have the same problem: If you're on a plane, with no internet access, you won't be able to use any update or program download. I think Chrome OS should be included with a offline option, such as gmail offline.Sjoerdos https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248/google-chrome-os-is-the-web-an-os.html#r_21274#reacties https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248#r_21274 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 21:42:56 GMT https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248/google-chrome-os-is-the-web-an-os.html#r_21256 @random: but I'd rather have access to my files EVERYWHERE and run the risk of Internet downtime like once a year, than having to copy files to USB sticks every fucking time u save a file, also making sure older files dont overwrite newer files, copy / sync shit manually. I think that being able to have your files accessible EVERYWHERE (and in the future, your own personalised desktop as well) and running this risk of downtime eveyr now and then is not that a big trade off / show stopper.Anoniem: 69767 https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248/google-chrome-os-is-the-web-an-os.html#r_21256#reacties https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248#r_21256 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:10:35 GMT https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248/google-chrome-os-is-the-web-an-os.html#r_21248 What if one day google is no more? A file on your computer you'll always be able to open, one way or another. But I'm sure that's it will be a major headache to get all your files from google to another service or store them locally... And then ofc there are lots of privacy concerns, but I don't think I need to go down that road as this has been discussed many times before already.Anoniem: 281016 https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248/google-chrome-os-is-the-web-an-os.html#r_21248#reacties https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248#r_21248 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 14:38:16 GMT https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248/google-chrome-os-is-the-web-an-os.html#r_21232 I dont believe it. Think outside your box. Netbooks in a few years will always have internet connection just like mobile telephones have now. THe prizes for wireless internet wehole Holland usb stick will drop lower and lower; just like mobile telephone have for internet; and maybe even tethering m8.HPMadness https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248/google-chrome-os-is-the-web-an-os.html#r_21232#reacties https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248#r_21232 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:46:44 GMT https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248/google-chrome-os-is-the-web-an-os.html#r_21230 Oh noes Why the heck are all company's integrating their products into an internet solution? It looks like all clientside software will disappear in the coming years, except the OS and the browser ofcourse.

Will you still be able to access your data the way you would as when you are online? Will you be able to do even anything at that point?I'm pretty sure it will - think Google Gears and similar technologies, that allow you to run a web application locally. Gmail can be run without an internet connection. Sure, you wouldn't be able to get or send new data, but if you use your system regularly, it should have all the data available. Or at least most of it.Another issue is with applications which basically cannot run on the web. Think of modern games which basically require a high-end PC to run properly.There are several projects in the running, including one from Google itself (O3D), that attempt to run a full 3D engine (through a plugin) in the browser - see here for the project page. There's also Quake Live, which I have to check out btw. And finally, there's millions of Flash games out there, which are equally fun to large 3D games, .YopY https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248/google-chrome-os-is-the-web-an-os.html#r_21223#reacties https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248#r_21223 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 11:00:35 GMT https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248/google-chrome-os-is-the-web-an-os.html#r_21220 @Melons They focus on netbooks.

Just like your computer won't work when the electricity is down. It feels scary, but it rarely happens, and this -should- improve further in the future. About not being able to play games, they're working on this aswel. One of the projects that are being worked on is called Gaikai ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-w56hQxmnY ). Streaming video from a server that is running the game for you. This is supposed to fight piracy aswel, but I think we won't be seeing this for another couple years.Melons https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248/google-chrome-os-is-the-web-an-os.html#r_21216#reacties https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248#r_21216 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 10:11:45 GMT https://geniusdex.tweakblogs.net/blog/2248/google-chrome-os-is-the-web-an-os.html#r_21214 Well For me this is the time to reinstall Chrome Browser again!
