20100111nexus

It looks like Google is about half way there. They have the hardware, the software, and certainly the hype. What could be missing?

Take a look inside to get an idea of what Google hasn’t provided their customers. It takes more than tech savvy to launch a successful product. What could it be? Customer what?

Browser Wars 2009 Produces Big Losers

How long before Google dominates the browser market? Is it poised to replace Microsoft as the Dominant force in computing?

Changes seen this year are substantial, but the rate of change doesn’t seem to be the story here. It’s the fact that two major players allowed for substantial gains by Chrome, Firefox, and even Opera. Safari’s failure to supply a browser that works as well on Windows as it does on Mac, along with Google’s release of Chrome for Mac OS X, put Chrome in the number 3 position over Safari but well behind FireFox.
Internet Explorer and Safari had combined losses of 7.48% while Chrome, Firefox and Opera had combined gains of 7.35%.

Google Chrome OS to be Released Next Week?

So, have you heard anything about Google’s Chrome Operating System being released next week?

It’s open source. It’s free. It’s going to have limited drivers available. It has fewer partners than expected. It’s supposed to be quick and lean, designed for today’s computing. First commercial availability will be on netbooks

I hope it’s as innovative and exciting as Google want’s it to be but, somewhere in the back of my mind I worry about The Cost of Free.


Grab some speculation here.
