How gullible are we!?
Have you noticed this over the last week or so? It's all over the interwebs!
Beta of Chrome OS released!Someone with too much time on hands made up a Linux distribution from SUSE Studio, added Google Chrome to it, called it Chrome OS and put it (cleverly, I might add!) on Google Sites.The outcome is a piece of Junk. Sorry that's rude, but I know because I tried it - knowing too well that it's a phony. But a geek that I am, I had to try it. There's no way even a super-premitive-alpha of any Google product, that they are claiming to be 'revolutionary', would be so unpolished.Even then, links to this site are all over the place - news feeds, twitter, facebook - you name it. Even biggies like DailyTech and Engadget (or was it Gizmodo? Can't remember) managed to make a story out of it (but quickly retracted? I saw something in my news reader, but the link was broken).I wonder why everyone was fooled into thinking that Google released that beta, when there was no official word from Google. Especially, when Google had recently said that they would release the said OS only late in 2010.Today there were sightings of, what look like Mint OS, claimed to be Chrome OS. Just because it has a bit Google Chrome logo as the background image!This is insane... WTF!
