Do you, uh, read your own blog?

Because, these backgrounds, with the thin black text over them?

Not so good for the legibility.

I'm really curious how printing is going to work. Or are we not supposed to print documents anymore, since everything lives in THE CLOUD?

This all feels very Microsoftish, in that it seems that Google has two entirely separate OS divisions that just plain aren't talking to each other and don't have a consistent message. We have native apps on our cell phones, which, in theory, have always on internet connections, but are supposed to rely only on web apps on our computers, which may or may not have an internet connection. If there was a platform where I'd expect this to work, it would be a cell phone, and I still remember the collective groan when Steve said web apps were good enough.

“The OS will support only a limited number of Google-blessed devices and peripherals, which is Google's way of ensuring reliability and security. “

Wake me up when Google claims that they wrote and compiled Chrome OS using Chrome OS. Those of us who aren't dipshit bloggers still need our computers to do real work. Try running a fucking DNA amplification from a computer running a fucking web app some time.
