Just yesterday Google [GOOG] officially unveiled their new operating system called Google Chome OS. Although not available for download just yet, and maybe not for another year, it is actually possible to have play with the OS now by running it on a virtual machine.

Yesterday, Google [GOOG] introduced a new operating system called Google Chrome OS. We have heard a few things about it over the last few months, but now it has been officially displayed. The idea behind Chrome OS is that most users switch on their computer and want to go online to get email, check Facebook, browse websites, search for jobs, go shopping and perhaps play games while chatting to friends and listening to music etc… with other programs not getting as much use, if any at all. Perhaps the web browser is the most important and most used program on a computer in Google’s words.
When a computer boots up if often takes a while from hitting the power button to loading up a web browser. For this reason Google decided to get rid of all the things that slow it down and make the browser the operating system. After hitting the power button you can be online within seconds.

The Levitron Revolution World Stage is perhaps one of the best gadgets you could buy for someone this Christmas. The system uses magnets to make objects levitate in air.
A common object to levitate is a globe, and the world stages comes supplied with a globe. But with other levitation gadgets, all you get is the globe. This particular model lets you open up the globe to take out the special magnet. The magnetic platform that floats above the main platform can take an additional 3 oz in weight allowing you to place any household object that fits in the weight criteria. The main platform is surrounded in lights and also makes the floating platform rotate allowing you to showcase whatever you want in a bit of style. [click to continue…]

Apple [AAPL] are apparently already working on the next update to OS X which for now we’ll assume it’s called 10.7. The rumour started because of someone tracking down a database of changes to open source launchd framework which mentions a different error referencing a Mac OS X build number.
The 47 part indicates the build number with the letter before it indicating what type of update it is with A appearing to be more of a major update rather than a 10.6.2 style update for example. [click to continue…]
The USB Grenade Flash Drive is a fun gadget that is designed to look like a grenade although no explosions are going to happen with this one. It functions like any other USB flash drive in that you pull the top off it, stick it in your PC or Mac and transfer a bunch of files to it.
That annoying guy three cubes down want the same files you’ve already emailed him 30 times? Pull the plug on your grenade and fling it into his cube. It won’t blow up, but at least a grenade to the head might make him reconsider the next time he wants to bug you about something…
If you are one of the 186,000 residents of Swindon in the UK, you’ll soon have free public wireless internet access. The service is to launch in April 2010 and will be supplied by 1,400 secure access points that have a lot higher performance than regular wireless routers found in the home.
There will be no connection fees and no charges to use the service. It isn’t as good as it sounds though as regular free service will be limited although everyone in the city who wants to can actually subscribe to a 20MB service to increase the performance. The subscription cost is expected to be a lot lower than regular broadband providers though. [click to continue…]

Reports of a new approved patent that Apple [AAPL] filed have been found recently. The patent discusses ads which require users to interact with a device by perhaps acknowledging they have read the ad, or performing some action. NYT seems to think it will take us back 10 years by forcing ads upon a user, but on the other hand, Fake Steve Jobs indicates we could look at it a different way in that users pay a small nominal fee for watching TV for example… ad free.
Rather than quoting various articles from FSJ and NYT, it would be worth you take a read and make up your own opinions on this. [click to continue…]
