Look out Microsoft, Google is coming for you again

from JoeUser Forums

It seems that what many believed Google would eventually do is now set to be available before the end of the year. To follow in Google's attempt to offer a new way to browse the Internet, Google Chrome, Google is now ready to make available Google Chrome OS, an operating system meant to be simple, lightweight, fast and to better with web applications.

Personally I look forward to checking out this new OS. I'm curious to see just how plain, simple and clean it is. And of course, like Linux, Google claims it will make it as virus and spyware free as possible but us smart people know that even Apple and Linux are not immune to viruses or spyware and that all it takes is for a hacker to be interested enough, smart enough and dedicated enough to create them.

As the PC World article put it, not only has Google given MS something to keep an eye on when they took over online searching with Google.com, invaded Internet browsing with Google Chrome, taken a bit out of web apps with Google Maps, Google Calendar and others and make itself mobile with Google Android cell phone apps, now Google takes another shot at MS with Google Chrome OS. Now all we need is a Google based touch screen MP3 player (Google Pod?) and even Apple will start to watch Google more often.

Your logic is flawed. You dislike Google becuse of something that didn't even happen to you. Not logical.

So does that mean I can't dislike Bernie Madoff because he didn't steal any of my money?  It is perfectly logical to dislike someone or something because of an occurance that didn't happen to you personally.  First hand experience is not necessary to form a valid opinion.

First hand experience is not necessary to form a valid opinion.

So for an example I can say a Ford Tarus sucks when I haven't driven one or ridden in one?

First hand experience is necessary.

I'm just trying to point out that Google isn't as bad as Starkers says it is. What happened to his brother in law wasn't an everyday thing.

Getting him to admit Google isn't as bad as he thinks it is is the trick.

Actually, no.

First hand experience is only necessary in forming a personal opinion.  Whether or not a 'Ford Tarus' [sic] sucks is a matter of fact, and/or general opinion from/by others.

If Clarkson said 'a Ford Tarus' sucks then I'd likely agree, as he's driven more vehicles than I could poke a stick at.

No need to drive it myself at all....;p

Well then in my opinion Google is not as evil as Starkers says it is.

Thanks Jafo.

I think your perception of it is backwards... its real life that influence the "internet" not the other way around.

Actually, it's a bit of both!  Obviously real life influences the internet... otherwise it wouldn't be there. but the internet also affects real life... like idiots searching how to make bombs to cause destruction and mayhem  In other words, it's interactive and one can have profound effects on the other.

Why dont you exercise this line of thought about all other things thats on the internet? is kona0197 so special that you dont want to force your morals/ethics onto him/her?

Yeah, kona is special, but I also enjoy sparring with him from time to time, which is why I was debating Google's morals/scruples with him... you know, stating an opinion while having a bit of fun.

BTW: what you quoted was said mostly with tongue-in-cheek to lighten things up some. ;)

Your logic is flawed. You dislike Google becuse of something that didn't even happen to you. Not logical.

With respect to this, kona, I'm just going to say this and leave it at that: I was a witness to what happened... and I do have experiences of my own to formulate an opinion on Google. 

Now while it is true that I do not like Google, I do enjoy a good spar/debate, and thus, over-emphasised my thoughts at times to keep the ball rolling, so to speak.  However, it's time to move on when it's no longer fun and things start getting serious... and I detect it has gotten to that for you, so let's agree to disagree with regards to Google, orright.

Peace! :) :sun:

Perish the thought... my padded cell and strait jacket have been my safe havens. :rofl:

That'd be right... the mortician hasn't even finished and you're putting on a headstone already. ;)
