I got this voicemail tonight and wanted to share:

Hey, this is Jason. I just had an epiphany. With the browser becoming more and more powerful, and basically replacing the OS, like Chrome is – and with Chrome already having the capability to duplicate extensions and the rest of your personal data across installations – that is the dream of the mobile computer. So anywhere you login you’ve got your own desktop – even if it’s a public terminal. ‘Cause if you fire up Chrome, login, and all of your extensions (i.e. your programs) load up into your browser (i.e. your OS), that’s it, that’s all there is to it. Alright. Bye.

So what do you think? Do you think the OS in the cloud can live in your browser?

Like ChromeOS, Google Editions eBooks Run Inside a Browser

Like Fleetwood Mac sang, “You can go your own way,” and often times Google does just that. This week was no exception. With their announcement that Google will begin selling eBooks soon, eReader owners wanted to know, “What format will Google Editions use?” The answer is none. All Google eBooks will be viewable in a web browser so unless your eReader has a web browser, you’ll have to read Google Editions on a computer that does.
