Worst blog post ever? Or worst blog ever?

Ha!!! That is hilarious. Obviously a fake! But, obviously there is buzz spreading about Chrome OS, which is waht Google was after. --tayme

I have a hard time believing this is real to begin with. Amusing, though, that someone might suggest they're putting their job and reputation on the line for such uninteresting photos.

Wow, judging from those pictures, the productivity capabilties of the Chrome OS dev team look incredible.

Dop!!! This is a really clean OS here ... Near to nothing on the UI... Rediculous...

Hard to know who's the biggest loser...the one who created the page, or the one(s) who linked to it.

"Worst blog post ever?" "Thoughts?" Bravo losta for criticizing Paul yet again. That's twice this week you've called our host something inflamatory: calling him "mediocre" a couple days ago, and today, calling him a "loser". You are an a$$.

"It's amazing to see people either discredit it or glorify it when it doesn't even exist in a usable form yet." I don't think you can glorify it when it doesn't exist, but based on their business model (advertising), you can certainly discredit the attempt by questioning their motives. Why did newspapers fail, again?

Chrome OS: The web browser OS, whoohoo. I'm so curious as to what they hope to do. My suspicion is that it's not going to be interesting or useful, but I'll test it on release.

"They provide collected data they've acquired on people to some rather shady government agencies in several countries resulting in end user harm" Let's not forget that although they claim that they don't sell information to "third-parties", though they do claim to provide information to "partners and affiliates". Who are they? Why, the people that pay for ads and do business with Google - that's who!. And if you look at their ad filtering (read: lack of) that can include links to the same kinds of groups that distribute spyware, adware, trojans, and other malicious websites that would do things like install WinFixer clones (ie. WinAntivirus XP and the like) on your computer to sucker you out of your money, could you really trust them to hold your personal info away from a someone that could steal your identity or credit card? You know, somebody that pays for advertising through Websense? The biggest laugh about them: Google Checkout! LOL! That's just hilarious - a Google-branded money laundering operation.

"yep like pretending that Microsoft works for the benevolence of mankind" Both companies make money - and lots of it. Google makes it on selling your personal information. Microsoft makes it on selling software. Which one is more trustworthy? There is only one correct answer.

Again...a post by Paul turns into a d!ck length contest...geez...this is getting old. But, at least its a bit entertaining to watch all of you stumble over each other while trying to prop up your company of choice! Thanks go to Paul Thurrott and Penton Media for provide this vehicle of entertaining "people watching". Its like going to the state fair in some midwestern states and counting the mullets and pregnant women in halter tops smoking Camel straights! --tayme

"Their privacy policies are worse than the other major players in the industry" You and "waethorn" keep prattling on about Google and privacy, but in "waethorn's" homeland, there is no expectation of privacy on the Internet anyway. That comes from Canada's Public Safety Minister Peter Van Loan. From the slashdot summary: "He was adamant that in regard to IP addresses, names, cell phone numbers, and email addresses: '...that is not the kind of information about which Canadians have a legitimate expectation of privacy.' " So rest easy, "waethorn". Google isn't taking anything from you that your own Country wouldn't already nab. http://www.tvo.org/cfmx/tvoorg/theagenda/index.cfm?page_id=3&action=blog...

"From the slashdot summary...." Too bad it's wrong. Keep on fishing for keywords all you want. You're still an a$$.

Waethorn Just an FYI: It would be the Secret Service and not the FBI that would come knocking on Lotsa's door. (No smugness here, I have no idea which Canadian agency handles things like that in Canada but suspect it would have a catchy name like "Intelligence Canada" or "Secrecy Canada" if it exists at all. I remember running into PM Trudeau back when he was in office walking along a fairly dark street around 1AM in Toronto with no security visible so they're either very discrete or very limited.)

@mike: It's called CSIS.

It is expected to come out in the second half of 2010. Like Mary Jo Foley says, Windows 7 Mobile will be out by then. Zune phone might be out by then too.

Obviously this is a lame attempt to generate interest in a supposed Google OS. Until there is an official statement from Google you have to take this and any other such postings with a grain of salt..

So, what do you call a blog post about the worst blog post (and with two links to the worst blog)?

Who's the biggest loser? The one who created the post, the ones who linked to it, or the one who is registered on the post creator's site and felt the need to make not only non-constructive, but inflammatory statements about the poster? Honestly lotsa, why are you here?

"Who's the biggest loser? The one who created the post, the ones who linked to it, or the one who is registered on the post creator's site and felt the need to make not only non-constructive, but inflammatory statements about the poster?" The one who responded with the text quoted above, perhaps.
