Samsung launches new Chromebook, tiny Chrome desktop. Woo yay

Just in case you had forgotten all about Google Chrome OS, yesterday, Samsung launched a new thin Google Chrome laptop and a teeny tiny Google Chrome desktop machine. Under the hood is a newly redesigned Google Chrome, but is it is worth it, considering you’re still basically running just the Chrome browser?

Google moves in on Apple’s turf with the Chrome Zone retail space

Walk into a Best Buy or some other large electronics retailer and you’ll probably see, right in the middle of the home computer section, the big Apple retail nook, with all of the iPads and MacBooks there in one attractive spot to play with.

Could Google Chrome OS be the next big threat to Apple?

Even if Apple is currently beating out Microsoft in overall profit and company worth, it still has barely made a dent in its roughly 10% share of the desktop OS market. That’s a number Apple’s fine with, as they stopped really competing with Microsoft in that arena when they became a general gadget company. But when Google releases the Chrome OS to the public later this year, it could very easily take a chunk out of what little piece of the non-mobile OS pie Apple has.
