The journey thus far

Three years is a long ass time.

Moore's law dictates that technology doubles within a year (or something like that).

So what has happened to me, tech wise?

I'll break this down to a number of topics.

1) Mobile
Ah, the (seemingly) most advancing area of tech. My last post was me trying out how to post straight to blogger from a phone (which reminds me, I wonder if there's an iOS app for that - yeah, more on that later).

So I've ventured through a number of devices over the years.

In chronological order:
- Nexus S
- Galaxy Nexus
- Nexus 4
- Nexus 5
- iPhone 6

Wait, what? Why iOS at the end? I thought you HATE APPLE!

Well, I figured I should give it a try. Plus, Google's Nexus 6 was a big ass phone - didn't want a big phone. That, and I'm a little "LG'd" out.

So? What'd thunk? I miss Android. I like somethings about iOS, hate others. Jury's still out as to what I would upgrade to at some point. I'll type more out at some point.

2) PC
Still the same rig. LOL! Well, for the most part... I've upped the RAM to 12GB, changed graphics cards twice currently rocking a NVIDIA GTX 970. HDDs, a few. Recently became cool and got a SSD (Samsung 850 EVO in 500GB). Previous setup is now a 'programs' install location (2 x 500GB WD Velociraptors), and a 1GB WD Black as my 'documents' location. Yeah, I has space.

3) Cars
I'm very much into race tracks. Have a pretty decently modified car/track weapon. I'm sure I'll post about it at some point.

4) Work
Work is good. Pays the bills! And funds the toys/hobbies.

Maybe I'll post more after I pop out in between Fallout 4 and Just Cause 3!

A Google OS? ZOMG?!

Wait wait. Cool your jets.

It's not an Operating System in a traditional sense. Let's take this in slowly. It is Google's Chrome OS. Chrome OS. Chrome is Google's web browser (that I'm still waiting for the Linux version of). An OS is well, an Operating System. Take those two together and what do you get? Operating System for Google's Chrome internet browser. Bingo.

Google Chrome is an OS that is being built (or shall I say stripped) from Linux (on top of the kernel). It will be stripped to the bare bones to only allow Chrome to run. Nothing else. Google's reasoning for this seems to be fairly interesting. They want a secure simple stripped OS (so it'll boot up super fast) so people can access the internet (via Chrome of course) really fast.

That's it. :)

It certainly makes sense for Google right (with all of their web apps). ;) Though I must say an "OS" in the traditional sense is supposed to do a lot more for people. I browse a lot but I run a lot of other apps (Foobar2000, IMs, IRC,etc etc) but then again, with the internet, you can access all of those online.

Should be really interesting.
