The New Google Pack - Next Up an OS?
The New Google Pack:
http://pack.google.com/?utm_source=H...p-pack-en-v1-1 Personally, I'm skeptical installing anything from Google now that they are publicly-traded and "the bottom line is everything". But an interesting concept. Includes: Google Earth - 3D Earth browser Picasa - Photo organizer Google Pack Screensaver - Photo screensaver Google Desktop - Desktop companion Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer - Search toolbar Mozilla Firefox with Google Toolbar - Web browser Ad-Aware SE Personal - Antispyware utility Norton Antivirus 2005 Special Edition - Antivirus utility Optional Software Google Talk - Voice and IM application Google Video Player - Video player GalleryPlayer HD Images - Images RealPlayer - Media player Trillian - Instant messenger |

Its unfortunate that they bundled in Norton, which is a huge, bloated, obtrusive pile of shit.

I'd be willing to bet the screensavers are designed to use spare CPU cycles to help aid in the performance of the google search engine, haha.

They aren't going to build an OS. They have other plans and it doesn't have to do with software.

I would say wait a little bit until the system engineer types have a chance to see what info google is sucking off your system, or how much of your activity they are tracking as a result.
Both Google and Microsoft have been shopping for HUGE data warehouse installations, so don't be surprised if everything is done "online". Patience is a virtue. Alex |
