“A Computer That Works With Google, Not Microsoft”

That was the title published in The New York Times online.

Shocked with this title I asked myself:

- “Did Google released a computer before my GPhone? WT*”.

This isn’t true, but it might be what the Google Team is thinking, or planned, for the future.

Following the NYTimes, Walmart started selling a $200 USD computer with the gOS pre-installed. The “Everex”(gPC) features a VIA C-7 1.5Ghz, 512MB RAM, and an 80GB hard drive.

 

But what is the gOS? - you might ask.

gOSSomehow based on Ubuntu 7.10 this is a Linux operative System dressed up with Google. It is straight for the “usual computer user, that doesn’t understand much of Linux and Internet, but still want to give it a try”, or how the original site states - “beautiful desktop for normal people”.

I’m not as geek as I thought.

In fact I don’t consider myself as a geek. I just know stuff… and use Linux…

As I did you can yourself take this little quiz - here - to measure your geekness.

And my result:
26% Geek
Impressive!
