2 cents of Google Chrome OS

Left a few invitation, anyone want one? Well, I bet so. However, Google Wave invitation is not a guarantee “get-it” though, it still process in time and people I guess. Whatever it is, I have one, and I think it’s cool… For nothing yet.

Taking the step into Social Media? Right, it’s still the same old Google. That is why I called marketing (relationship) is so damn important. Believe it or not, doesn’t matter what products or services Google offered, there will be already-consumer to take those services and products. The connection is already there. I’m not too keen with much Google products though :P

But if you’re asking about the Chrome OS, I think it will still takes some times to process. Ubuntu has been taking a huge step on marketing their OS. Netbook is a challenge. Consumers are getting smarter and richer with laptops. Like Apple co-founder Steve Jobs once said “Laptop will soon take over desktop share“. True enough, laptop can easily replace a desktop in term of the spec and speed it has to offer. I still go with laptop and more laptop instead of desktop, because the flexibility and the competitive price laptop getting nowadays.

Google Chrome OS is based on Google Chrome and I see the interface, is not really interest me. If I want to go open-source, Ubuntu is still my choice, be it a laptop or netbook. Gonna make a duo-boot soon :) Time to get tv stands for all my laptops :)

Doing design in Ubuntu

Just when I thought I couldn’t do good design without Adobe Photoshop, this morning, I proved myself wrong :)
We design in Ubuntu on GIMP
I told myself to learn it few months back, but I didn’t get the chance. Mainly because I got other stuffs to do and I have a Macbook with Photoshop installed with me. So the first reaction when encountering design was “What the heck, just go to Macbook“. Then today, I don’t have Macbook or any Windows system, has been purely depending on my Ubuntu system.

I must say, the process is quite time taking. Design a simple site can take up 2 hours, not to mention some element is almost impossible to create, but I still able to create a satisfaction design though. Have to polish up and push myself to work with GIMP for a little while :) Gonna save my resources next time.
