Scripps Employees Called 'Hackers' For Exposing Massive Security Flaw
Suspected PayPal Hackers Seek Deal To Stay Out Of Prison
Are these the first images of Google Chrome OS?
Looking for something a bit more tangible? We just might have it for you.
An anonymous tipster sent the following images to us this morning, claiming they are actual images of Chrome OS. We can't say much for certain at this point, so pass judgment yourselves in the comments.
Do these images really show the early stages of Google's enigmatic OS, or are they just the work of a clever and industrious techy?
Check the gallery after the break, then share your thoughts!

Hmm... I'm not sure how I feel about this. It looks very, very early.

Mr. Blurry Cam strikes again!! Muhuhahaha

At this point it looks more like "Fisher Price OS" than XP did with its huge red x's and ridiculous blue windows. That's impressive.
We'll see. Competition is good.

My verdict:
just the work of a clever and industrious techy.. nice job!

Exactly. Why would there be a Linux penguin and the Wine logo on the desktop? My bet is that its just a modded Linux distro.

No..

Seriously, a yin-yang in the UI? What the hell does that mean? And those scroll bars are completely bewildering and useless. Total fake.

to all those people who say this it look cheep and crud, bear in mind its still in alpha.
I photo 19 it show the colaborations and it incluses the Free Software Foundation, Adobe, and WINE (a program that allows you to use windows programs on a linux machie

I gotta agree, looks like a heavily skinned Linux, rather than a professionally polished new OS.
If it is real, the fact it's running Wine is hilarious...

Looks booty

Looks nice...but the font is ugly....uhhh!
Prof. Michael StollJul 30th 2009 12:26PM
could be true, 'cause it looks as bad designed as other google products.

I find it hard to believe that Google, a beacon of clean, minimalist design, would have such an absolutely hideous UI - particularly that font - horrible! I call BS on this one.
JiJul 30th 2009 12:33PM
Lol, come on, that is not even close to real, not even close to fake, haha, and if I'm wrong, good fight Google.

Why would Google Chrome have a Google search bar?
Doesn't make sense to me, I smell a raaat
e-sinJul 30th 2009 2:01PM
I have a hard time believing that Google's UI team went anywhere near this. This can't be real.
Jash SayaniJul 30th 2009 1:45PM
There is a skin on Chrome browser which makes it unusable. Why would Google do this?? The only shot makes it very clear that this is some techy with a lot of free time at disposal....

Google doesn't make things that look like butthole.
That's looks like butthole.
JaggerJul 30th 2009 3:10PM
Everyone here is saying how it just looks like a modded Linux distro. I don't even think I could say that.
I bet it's a few static fullscreen images made in Photoshop.
I call BS too!
