It is become pretty clear by now that Google will not be able to launch stable version of Chrome OS this year. The company is only expected to release the stable edition of Chrome OS early next year. Rumors are flying around at Google that Google Chrome OS will be delayed till 2011 or Crome and Android OS are going to merge to form a common platform. The Chrome OS is aimed for the computers that will be used as web browser and don’t store any of their data locally but keep it in the cloud.

According to the latest New York Times report, Google recently deployed new systems that come with Chrome OS to internal Google employees including Sergey Brin. The interesting part of the Times story:

“Mr. Upson says that 60 percent of businesses could immediately replace their Windows machines with computers running Chrome OS. He also says he hopes it will put corporate systems administrators out of work because software updates will be made automatically over the Web,” said Linus Upson, Chrome chief and Google vice president of engineering.


Mr Upson further added that Chrome OS is going to handle the software updates automatically without any intervention of the System Administrator. Those people can be freed to do more important job.

However, Mr Jason Hiner of ZDnet thinks that it is next to impossible that 60% businesses are going to switch to Chrome OS because the OS is aimed for Netbook only. According to TechRepublic poll, majority of the enterprises still provide their employees desktops and not laptops. Additionally, a small percentage of the laptop owners only carries Netbook. The other issue is that Netbook dominance will be challenged by Tablet PC and Smartphones. But, Mr Upson commented, “We are starting with laptops and we will expand in both directions.”

Kerajaan Jeumpa, Kerajaan Islam Pertama Nusantara

Teori tentang kerajaan Islam pertama di Nusantara sampai saat ini masih banyak diperdebatkan oleh para peneliti, baik cendekiawan Muslim maupun non Muslim. Umumnya perbedaan pendapat tentang teori ini didasarkan pada teori awal mula masuknya Islam ke Nusantara. Mengenai teori Islamisasi di Nusantara, para ahli sejarah terbagi menjadi 3 kelompok besar, yaitu pendukung (i) Teori Gujarat (ii) Teori Parsia dan (iii) Teori Mekah (Arab). Bukan maksud tulisan ini untuk membahas teori-teori tersebut secara mendetil, namun dari penelitian yang penulis lakukan, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa Teori Mekkah (Arab) lebih mendekati kebenaran dengan fakta-fakta yang dikemukakan. Teori Mekkah (Arab) hakikatnya adalah koreksi terhadap teori Gujarat dan bantahan terhadap teori Persia. Di antara para ahli yang menganut teori ini adalah T.W. Arnold, Crawfurd, Keijzer, Niemann, De Holander, SMN. Al-Attas, A. Hasymi, dan Hamka. i Arnold menyatakan para pedagang Arab menyebarkan Islam ketika mereka mendo...

MyWare: Personalized Service or Invasion of Privacy?

There's a fine line between what is considered a knowledge database and an invasion of privacy, and that line is likely to be determined by marketing. This week we wrote an article about Please Rob Me - a service that identifies Foursquare and Gowalla check-ins on Twitter and lets others know that a person is not home. While location-based services are often touted for their social and recommendation-based benefits, the realization that they can be used negatively have many questioning the responsibility of those groups that collect the data. In mid January Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg stated that the age of privacy had come to an end and we responded that evolving preferences were not a valid justification of the elimination of privacy preferences . Nevertheless, between cookie tracking and browser identifiers like those shown in the EFF's Panopticlick and the fact that it only takes your zip code, gender and birthdate to identify you, it's hard to ensure to...
