Google are launching a rather dramatic campaign to highlight the benefits of their Chrome based notebook computers. With cloud storage you dont need documents to be saved locally on your computer, a fact they are keen to point out by setting fire to one.
The cloud aspect of a Chrome OS notebook is a key focal point for the search engine giant, as they say you never have to worry about data loss. Chrome design Glen Murphy has produced a video which shows him destroying a machine then jumping onto a new machine as if nothing ever happened.
Kitguru says: We are all for dramatic and fun ways to sell technology. Google seem to be certainly having a lot of fun with their new OS !
lol thats quite cool. totally pointless and rather annoying cause I could have used it. but nice idea to get attention.
An observer echoed my concerns, but in much greater detail…
“So what if there’s no internet connection?
Suddenly the device is useless. No files, no apps, no nothing.
I am not paying extra for a perceived service of inferior applications and processing power so I can have internet on the move that might not even work at full or even half speed.
Reading and writing files isn’t something I can trust to a cloud. For mission critical data or areas of low-connectivity (Wifi or 3/4G), it simply isn’t an option.
Unless the infrastructure will change: FAIL.”
great directions, but where i have to put my old files – to my a**? or upload 500 gb one to one file on a google doc
