Chrome OS

I know its been a long time since Chrome OS was announced and the source code was made available but I've just managed to piggy back some one else's had work and all round awesomeness and run it on one of our older machines. I have to promote Hexxeh's work here as having a go with Chrome OS using the method on the site is virtually foolproof.

Anyway, I digress. If you've used Chrome browser its virtually identical. But the applications on there were brilliant. I don't know if Hexxeh has added them or they come as standard but there didn't seem much missing from a normal linux distro.

I am however seeking the holy grail on my test linux box. It currently runs lubuntu but I feel this is a little slow. Likewise for Mint LXDE. So if I can persuade crunchbang to install I might just be happy!

Come on England!

Do I think we will win? Hmm. Spain are supposed to be good though I haven't seen them in action. I do however think Torres is the best striker in the world at the moment. Brazil? Best going forward but can't defend for toffee. They might as well not bother with a goalkeeper... Italy? They cheated against USA four years ago so shouldn't have won plus that chicken shit Materrazi needs knobing for not being man enough to beat Zidane fair and square. So maybe. What I do think for sure is that it's our best squad for a long time and the most professional manager we've had for years so now's as good as time as any!

iPhone 4

I'm not a fan of the current iPhone and I think some of the Andriod equipped phones look very sexy. But I have to admit I think the design change for the new iPhone is a brave and bold (almost better?) choice for Apple. If I were to pick between iphone 4 and all current phones on sale I have to admit I like the iPhone 4 a lot. But would I be prepared to pay £30 plus a month for 2 years to a bunch of cowboys like O2? Unlikely.
