[Tribu-android-gestion] Algo de info nueva sobre Google Chrome OS

[Pedro de las Heras Quirós]

Hola,

De lo mucho que se ha publicado estos días este artículo me ha
parecido de los pocos que aporta algo, aunque poco, a lo que decía el
anuncio oficial de la semana pasada:
http://www.technologyreview.com/web/22987/page1/

Por si andáis mal de tiempo extracto algún párrafo que me ha parecido curioso:

"Texas Instruments, for example, is working with Google to integrate
the Chrome OS software with its OMAP 3 multimedia applications
processors, creating a system that could be easily installed in
netbooks and other devices."

"The Chrome browser also lacks the drivers needed to power any
external devices, such as printers or iPods. Texas Instruments' Iyer
envisions a new way that Chrome OS could address this problem.
"Wouldn't you rather have a printer connected in the cloud?" he says.
As more devices, including cameras, printers, GPSes, and so on, become
able to connect to the Internet in their own right, the concept of a
Web interface between a user's computer and the device comes closer to
reality. "This is the holy grail of the Internet," Iyer says."

"Pichai and Upson have also said that Chrome OS will support all
Web-based applications automatically, and that new applications
written for Chrome OS will run "on any standards-based browser on
Windows, Mac, and Linux." While Web application development has
exploded in recent years, this might also introduce limitations,
preventing the user from accessing interesting applications developed
in programming languages not intended for the Web.

However, Google may have a solution for that too. The company is
working on an experimental project called Google Native Client that
would allow code written in non-Web languages such as C and C++ to run
securely in the browser.

Chris Rohlf, a senior security consultant for Matasano Security, which
has been involved in testing the implementation of Native Client,
says, "It could be Google's secret weapon when it comes to Chrome OS,
because it would allow developers to extend that platform with things
like video and graphics without having to wait for Google to implement
any of that." "
