Phil Newton, of Samsung, recently stated that a 10-inch Chrome OS netbook is on its way, later this year. You're probably thinking, these specs are awful for a computer. For a Windows netbook, yes they are, but for Chrome OS the specs will work fine. Chrome OS is for speed. It is an OS that runs in a browser that allows you to connect with the cloud. Since it is a browser the specs listed above, will be really fast, for a cheap price.

Wow, Google has had a really busy week. They have released Buzz, have had a Nexus One and Droid update, are now an ISP, deleted Blogger accounts, and acquired Aardvark. Aaardvark is an awesome social media service that allows you to ask a question and an expert will answer. In December I heard, on Net@Night, that Google was in talks with Aardvark to buy them for $50 million. Yesterday, TechCrunch reported that Google and Aardvark finally made the deal.

With today's launch of Google Buzz, Microsoft and Yahoo are now releasing press releases saying how wrong Google is for launching the new service.

Buzz is going to be a better product no matter what.
