Google Chrome OS Underwhelms for a Reason

Sony PS4: Unequalled graphics for PlayStation 4

We have heard the debate about the PS3’s Blu-ray, and how it may not be the way forward for new Xbox 360 versions or the Xbox 720, but when should we expect the next generation of games systems?

Just a few weeks back we posted some news about the Xbox 720 and PS4 being years away from a release date, but what are the current expectations for the new systems when compared to today’s systems.

Today we have heard a little rumor from ps3clan.nl, which talks about the Sony PlayStation 4 using “unequalled graphics”. You can view the post here (translated into English) that writes about the PS4 using “a high end variant of the 6 Series line”.

While the details are sparse, and features are currently unknown, it’s an interesting read. The article continues to talk about an official announcement coming in 2010 from IMGTEC. Let us know what you think in the comments.

Google Chrome OS: How to Download and Run Now

Google Chrome OS: A Detailed Preview

News regarding Google’s Chrome OS had pretty much died down up until yesterday, however following a press event held by Google more details began to emerge, yesterday we heard that the OS will boot up in just 7 seconds now we have more details to reveal to you.

A recent article posted on ubergizmo titled “Google Chrome OS, What’s New?” takes a very in-depth look at the upcoming OS and tells us some details that we have not yet heard.

Some of the details were posted in yesterdays article, these details included the fact that Google Chrome OS would only work on hardware which Google specified, therefore it seems that you will only be able to get hold of Chrome if you buy a machine with it pre-installed on.

According to ubergizmo it also seems as if Chrome will only be compatible with Intel and ARM processors, which is a shame for those of us AMD fans out there.

The boot-up of the OS is said to be very fast (again mentioned yesterday), one reason behind this is that Chrome OS will only run on SSD’s, solid-state-disks offer extremely quick read speeds which will help boot times, especially if combined with a well written OS.

As you may have already heard the SSD will only have to have a small capacity, this is due to the fact that data will be stored online, it is thought that Chrome will require a Internet connection almost always, however if a connection is lost you should have the ability to work offline (exactly how this works is currently a mystery).

One criticism people have is the security of your data which is stored online, personally I feel that this is up to you to keep secure, you can do this by carrying out two-simple steps, firstly choose an extremely un-obvious and strong password and secondly never let anyone know this password.

Personally I am quite intrigued to see how the OS will do, and whether it will really pressure Microsoft, we can expect to see Chrome OS devices launch in late 2010.

Does any of the news covered in this article disappoint you? I’m slightly frustrated that I will not be able to download and install the OS on my AMD-based computer to try it out.
