Ted Dziuba: Chrome-fed Googasm bares tech pundit futility
Bonus points for awarding TechCrunch the fitting title of “the Special Olympics of tech media”.
Arrington fancies himself a kingpin of Web 2.0, but when he starts saying shit like this, it’s hard for him to keep the respect of people who, you know, understand how computers work:
Chrome is nothing less than a full on desktop operating system that will compete head on with Windows.
Expect to see millions of web devices, even desktop web devices, in the coming years that completely strip out the Windows layer and use the browser as the only operating system the user needs.
In no way can this statement be construed to make sense, and I’m not just being a pedantic asshole here. […] A significant number of the users you IT admins support are reading shit like this, and will be putting in support tickets to have Google Chrome OS installed on their computers as soon as possible, because they’ve had enough of Windows and are ready for a change.
