sheesh the story ended too soon, I was waiting for how Chrome OS would make an entry

I thought these devices would have encrypted the files in filesystem that is why the PIN... Seems odd

Spot on. I am aligned to this view point, OS pool seems to be full and they all do the same things, no innovation coming out from there means its a solved problem. Thus there will be less people attracted towards it trying to create a problem and then try to solve it. I also think the current study curriculum has hit a wall, until they have open ends there would be no new stuff in OSs.

Getting iPhone is geeky? I think not, it means you are a gadget freak. Now if you compile the iPhone kernel on the iPhone and use it boasting that its much faster than your regular kernels, that definitely qualifies you as a geek.

It is a real surprise they are going to merge chrome and android. /Sarcasm

So ... the psychotherapists get a new tag now ?

Its still beta ;-)

Fine if you want to say your logical side is not left, but its mostly because your right side says so ... ;)

Ahh UT GOTY vintage gold....

They can do all that, but the real question is will it work out?

Why spend the effort in writing articles like these, it looks as if I am reading a personal blog ...

So the requirement can be boiled down to something like this, The rasterization happens at the server end (having 3d hardware) and the image generated should be transferred to the clients. This can be speeded up by using compression / encoding etc. but in the end getting a FPS = 30 which makes the game playable is not an easy task doing it real time. Maybe this has to be looked at from a different perspective or its not practical in real case ...

You can try it with Crossover, it works, but its buggy.
