Diet Chrome OS is smaller, faster, has better hardware support
Now that the Chromium base code for Google Chrome OS is readily available, we're going to be seeing a lot more projects like Diet Chromium popping up.
Built on more recent code than the initial releases we saw popping up as virtual drive images, Diet Chromium is an improvement in many ways. Developer Hexxeh has also stripped out as much unneeded code as possible - resulting in a 300MB ...

Watch out Chrome OS, Jolicloud means business. The cloud-based netbook operating system is feeling the heat and stepping it up, announcing their pre-beta release late last week. So, why is Jolicloud worth a look? Compatibility with "almost every netbook" is a good first step. In addition, the developers are touting a really fresh and updated UI and an entirely cloud-based structure. The ...
We've all gotten a good look at the very, very early stages of Chrome OS. While there's been plenty of "meh" going around, truth is that it's really much, much too early to pass judgement. It's going to be about a year until we see something finished, after all, and Google has already said things will change quite a bit by that time.
One feature of Chrome OS that has been praised is its ...

There are plenty more, so if you'd like to add your favorites, share them in the comments!

digg_url = 'http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2007/10/08/google-phone-will-take-on-microsoft-not-apple/';Rumors about a Google phone have been flying for months. And since they started around the time that Apple was releasing its game-changing iPhone, it should come as no surprise that we all started to get the idea that Google might get into the hardware game and release a gPhone handset ...
Remember Amiga? Back in the day, the computer/software maker was a serious contender. But the company hasn't released a new product in years, and apparently Amiga OS4 has been tied up in legal disputes. Well, a new day is dawning, and Amiga CEO Bill McEwen says the company will be announcing details on Amiga OS5 later this year. He also says it will be "better than OS X," although he politely ...
Bowing into pressure from customers, Microsoft has decided to continue selling the Windows XP operating system in stores for another five months. Previous versions of operating systems released by Microsoft have generally been available for up to two years after the shipment of a new OS. Microsoft had planned on cutting XP in stores just one year after the release of Vista, however, due to its ...

Vista took a while to come to fruitation, and now that it's out, and somewhat patched, businesses are having a hard time deciding whether it's worth it to update. A new survey by PatchLink Corp. suggests that businesses see XP as being far more secure than Microsoft's new Vista operating system, and have decided not to migrate to the platform. 87% of respondents in the survey stated that they ...
Could developers be moving towards Linux and handhelds? A new study says they are! Evans Data has published a study that found that Windows developers are dropping slowly, with 65% of software being written for Windows this year compared with 75% last year. The shift began two years ago, and seems to be drastically increasing. Why this change? Web browsers are becoming capable of running advanced ...
Getting around Wikipedia could take shorter than you have been previously use to. For instance, do you know about the keyboard shortcuts? Keyboard shortcuts aren't a well known feature for users of the popular online encyclopedia, but they do exist. I recently came across a post by Steve Rubel reminding me of this fact. These keyboard shortcuts work with any browser, and on both PC and Mac ...
Skeptics took a guess that Microsoft wouldn't sell many Vista versions, but it looks like that guess has been squashed. Microsoft sold 20 million boxes of Vista in the first month it was out. Compare that to 17 million copies of XP over the first two months it was available. Its quite a stretch given the few issues that usually pop up with any new operating system, many people usually tend to wait ...
