The public debut of Google Chrome OS today has the press abuzz over the potential of the new web-based operating system. And now that it's open sourced, you have the chance to try it out for yourself. Unfortunately, most people aren't ready to undertake the daunting task of actually taking Google's recently open-sourced code and turning that into a bootable computer. So we've put together a step-by-step...

That Apple's tablet shall eventually come is all but certain. But now that uncertainty over the release date has emerged, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster hedges that it's irrelevant. That said, Munster seems to be the master of inaccurately predicting the imminent release of the Apple Tablet--perhaps this is a sign that it actually came out yesterday and we all missed it....

"He may have promised to change Washington , but President Barack Obama is continuing one of its most renowned patronage traditions: bestowing prized ambassadorships on big donors. Of the nearly 80 ambassadorship nominations or confirmations since Obama’s Inauguration, 56 percent were given to political appointees and 44 percent have gone to career diplomats, according to records kept by...

In July we announced that we were working on Google Chrome OS, an open source operating system for people who spend most of their time on the web. Today we are open-sourcing the project as Chromium OS. We are doing this early, a year before Google Chrome OS will be ready for users, because we are eager to engage with partners, the open source community and developers. As with the Google Chrome browser,...

I get that it is cool technology, but I don't get the Imation Pro WX . It's the world's first Wireless USB disk drive, sure, but there are already drives that are Wi-Fi enabled. So, how is this different? Imation argues that, by providing a one-to-one connection over the air, the Pro WX Wireless USB hard drive "limits the possibility of signal interception." That's a pretty vague claim to...

This story just screams amateur hour, although I can't figure out exactly who's the amateur. Maybe everyone. A CEO says too much in an interview and gets fired. Lawyers go after the blogger to get content removed. And a partner is pissed off. Not bad for a day's work. It involves TweetPhoto , a service we've been writing about since last April . The company has had their rite-of-passage fight with...

Everyone's favorite autocrat, Hugo F. Chavez, is mobilizing his military to the Colombian border to heroically repel the expected US invasion. Ok, now repeat after me: WTF? Seriously, Hugo, Wassup? Well, now that he has more or less achieved total power, Venezuela is falling apart . Output there is still sharply falling and inflation is around 30%. Plus the country is facing water shortages and electricity...

During the first few years of ScienceBlogs there was a lot of talk about religion. Yes, there's talk about religion now, but it's toned down in the wake of the ebbing of the publicity around The God Delusion . Naturally in the wake of the New Atheism a raft of conventional apologetics have been published, The Dawkins' Delusion being a typical example. More recently have been more nuanced books which...

Love it! A small town sports bar called Boomer’s Sports Cellar and Club in Idaho is in deep trouble for playing music without paying for it. Country phenom Taylor Swift’s copyrights have been violated, but no worries. The powers that be are all over the matter and will see that justice is served in the [...]
