Comments for Internet Marketing Database http://www.internet-marketing-db.com Definitions, Examples, and Case Studies of Online Marketing Strategies by Rob Walker Fri, 10 Jul 2009 03:58:04 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 Comment on Google’s Chrome OS changes everything by Top Toad http://www.internet-marketing-db.com/2009/07/googles-chrome-os-changes-everything/comment-page-1/#comment-807 Top Toad Fri, 10 Jul 2009 03:58:04 +0000 http://www.internet-marketing-db.com/?p=453#comment-807 I've got a somewhat less optimistic position here: http://www.techonadime.net/2009/07/is-google-getting-ready-to-do-evil.html I like your take, though. I'm actually not sure that I want all desktop apps to go away. I'm more in favor of a distributed system where hardware can exist anywhere the user wants it to but the access to that hardware is a common interface. For example, if I want to have my own server at home, I can. Access to it would look exactly like access to a Google Docs file system - indistinguishable. I like the richness of the fat desktop environment and the portability of the cloud, and think the two should be combined in some fashion. I liken the "cloud hype" to the days when everybody predicted the end of mainframes and the rise of client-server computing. What did we end up with? A hybrid solution. There are just some things that dedicated hardware does better than hardware accessed through a layer of abstraction (such as a browser, virtual OS, etc)...just like there are some things mainframes do better than x86 servers.

Mobile adoption in the US by teens is growing tremendously and I'm excited to see how Mobile Apps are used by this audience.
