Comments on: How Chrome OS Changes Everything http://technmarketing.com/cellphone/how-chrome-os-changes-everything/ A blog about the newest technology and marketing Tue, 15 May 2012 18:46:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Cristian L. http://technmarketing.com/cellphone/how-chrome-os-changes-everything/comment-page-1/#comment-39127 Cristian L. Thu, 16 Dec 2010 19:21:34 +0000 http://technmarketing.com/?p=5524#comment-39127 Great article. Thanks. At the moment there shouldn't be too many causes for concern, but imagine a situation in which Google goes bankrupt and they have the ability to sell this database of information about everyone on the black market. There isn't one company that lives forever. About the Chrome OS, other than the great UI, which can easily be reproduced on a Linux machine , and the fact that it is open source , I don't see it as a big hit. As some people mentioned above, it must be Google's strategy to enforce cloud computing. I don't see that working either. I can see why they would want to extend to this kind of system : there can't be any piracy so the revenue must be much higher. Is it possible for Google to store every single file from all it's users (more than 1 billion i guess) . I don't think they can afford that much space . That must be exobytes. Great article. Thanks.

You are definitely not alone with your concerns... :) You are pointing out some interesting (/creepy) points, however, as I see it, it's all good as long as you have an alternative... Not interested in exposing your private data? Don't use cloud-based service. On the other hand and based on Google's strategy (as I see it), soon enough we won't have the option to choose, unless we will voluntarily decide to be left behind. My conclusion is that we should all find the balance, keep our private data close to our chests and always keep an open eye on what we do and where we go... Thanks for the great post Hillel.

If you have not noticed, the direction our data and online activities are going, is toward the cloud. For all of you who  have no clue what that last sentence meant, the “cloud” is a term explaining the concept of storing data and other things in a virtual server as opposed to a native one. OK, that is even more confusing than the previous sentence. Maybe an example or two will simplify things. You can write, edit, and store a Word file locally using Microsoft Word or you can do the exact same thing in the cloud using Google Docs. You can send, reply, forward, or store emails directly on your computer using Microsoft Outlook or you can do it in the cloud using Gmail. Now it should be clearer to you. You can read more about the cloud in this article about Chrome OS. [...] [...] Now, let’s talk about another hot trend, Cloud Computing, with the leading player being none other than Google.
