The Chrome OS is an operating system (OS) created by Google which main characteristic is based on the network. This means that the only software you need is a web browser.

The manufacturer takes the premise that all activities are conducted daily on the Internet, our computer thus becomes a "dumb terminal" where only tipeamos web site addresses and execute our tasks.

At the moment there is a " pilot program "(for residents) to test the OS on which Google provides a Notebook Cr-48 (ugly name!) it takes to boot a brief 10 seconds. So what we see on screen is a minimalist web browser: Chrome.

How is Chrome OS?

As we begin our session with the computer using Gmail, we access our mail, contacts, calendar and chat. The browser sync and keep our state in case the notebook fails, exploited, stolen or you simply logging in to another machine with Chrome OS and keep all the state it was: open tabs in the same order, the documents "self -saved "with the last words typed and chat with someone asking" are you there? ".

To edit documents online have the Google Docs, where you can write text, complete spreadsheets, making "Powerpoint presentations." Also through the Chrome Market we have access to hundreds of free and paid applications that offer solutions to all the needs we have: productivity, lifestyle, communication and most importantly, games.

Some pros

Todd is updated TooDo alone, ie the operating system, which basically consists of being a webbrowser, is regularly updated to keep us safe from the internet and the latest online innovations to date.
The system is super lightweight and running quickly, we think that technically the entire processor and computer memory is dedicated exclusively to sail "comfortable" on the Internet. And that's a lot of processing power and speed in 2011.

Some points against

Have all our files, photos, videos and upload to the network identity is a bit scary if someone managed to figure out our personal access key.

So ...

All this could not have existed a few years ago, it took a lot of fast computers and memory, internet, a society that increasingly turns to the network to share knowledge, the development of HTML5, Web 2.0, the appearance of Cloud computing, mobile telephony, cheaper costs and all that to put our lives-compressed-on multiple servers in the world.

The Chrome OS is a good approach to a new operating system, to shake the Microsoft Windows saga that was to dominate the home market for over 20 years and worry-at least, the rebound in OS X from Apple. It has good advantages especially for its speed and simplicity of use and integration of the powerful and great multipurpose "Google world".

This handy service from google, what it does is inform us of new search results for a given criterion.




That is, every time someone "talk" about something that interests me google tells me Mr.?
Sure chango!

Every time Google indexed (added to their database) applies pages searches for " Google Alerts "and if found something related to the criteria that will let us back a mail (now RSS ), the frequency is three: "A per day "," Once a week "or" In the event, "and we have 3 types of alerts:" Web "," News "," Groups "or" Comprehensive "(which are the 3 options above).

So for that we use this?, To track a subject and so many people talking, to see how the competition is doing, or to see how we impact us on the internet! hehe .

As an example, I have my alerts to "eltecnoloco" and another with "trucacho" (among many others), then every time someone talks about any of these words, I received an email telling me where I speak. When the monkey fedepasifico published the trucacho Taringa , this was the warning I received mail:

Well, I hope that this simple yet powerful tool will be useful to track topics that most interest them.
