Welcome to Hacker News where we downvote useful information.

Thanks for this, very awesome!

Happy to see the iPhone app will be out soon too. Now if only I'd actually get my google voice invite I signed up for over a year ago...

Actually it does show the desktop, thats how sad it is.

The guy made some rainbow colored Chrome OS logo which isn't even correct, google never uses rainbow colors beyond the "Google". It looks like XFree + some crappy mac-like window manager.

I thought it was common knowledge that microsoft is announcing the RTM sign-off on Monday 7-13-2009. This has been known for a while.

WZor.net has more information but they should be choosing which candidate build is the RTM shortly, and then an officially announcement will come Monday.

From google's blog post I'm under the impression that while based on a linux kernel it will have very little actual code from linux. It sounds like they are writing their own version of X with a minimalistic window manager.

I very much like the look of the chrome browser so I'm looking forward to checking this out. Specially since I'm one of those that doesn't do much on his home machine besides web based stuff.

Do you mean the idea of creating their own OS? Or the timing of the announcement itself?

Obviously they've been working on this for at least some time now if they are releasing the code in a few months.

Taken a little bit too literally. I meant that he should share his dilemma with her. How she is a very important part of his life but so is the startup. However even if taken literally I doubt she would react the way you are saying. From what he's said she sounds like a tech literate person and may have even posted a question of her own somewhere on the tubes.

Will I be able to run Internet Explorer on Chrome OS?

Edit: People can't take a joke. lol

The first thing you should do is essentially read her what you've typed here. It sounds like your relationship would benefit a great deal from some openness. She isn't going to react to this badly.

And in my experience with women, a little bit of time goes a long way if you do it right. Surprise her with flowers. Take her on a picnic. These things don't take much time but give her something to brag about to her lady friends.

You'd be surprised how just a few hours a week can convert a downward spiral relationship into a flourishing one.

This sounds like Windows Home, Windows Professional, Windows Enterprise and Windows Ultimate... Lent sounds more like a 1 shoe fits all.

It would be unreasonable to say everyone falls neatly into that category. I like the idea. It might make some iPhone owners more likely to lend out their stuff. People that wouldn't normally.

Checked out Newmogul. Love it. I really love the arc layout. Very little wasted space.
