All About the Chromebook

With Google's mobile OS Android surging and on more and more
phones and tablets, some wondered if Google's operating system
experiment, Google Chrome, might be coming to an end. Well
rumors of its demise proved to be wildly inaccurate. At this
week's Google I/O 2011 developers' event, Google unveiled an
updated OS and some brand named hardware to run it. I take a
look at how Google Co-Founder Sergey Brin explained the benefits
of his OS over, say, Windows. Meanwhile, West Coast News Editor
Mark Hachman takes a look at the business implications of Chrome
OS's new enterprise and education offerings.

People are still talking about Microsoft's blockbuster

remember most of these quite clearly. Does that make me old? Jog
your own memory with this entertaining walk down acquisition
memory lane.

Angry Birds Finally Comes to the Web

Good news, worker productivity around the world is about the
plummet as the world's most popular mobile game, Angry Birds,
comes to the Web. During yesterday's Google I/O keynote,
Rovio and Google unveiled the new Web-ready game. PCMag has a
report and some video I grabbed of the announcement from the
Keynote. Geek.com, meanwhile, has already cracked the code and
shows you how a few lines a JavaScript give you access to all
the Angry Birds for the Web levels. Have fun and get back to
work!

yourself? ExtremeTech can show you the way.
