La Galaxie Google ne cessera de m'étonner. C'est vrai que Google Talk vient à peine de voir le jour. Mais ne serait-ce pas l'arbre qui cache la forêt ? Un OS développé par Google, ça vous fait sourire ? Moi aussi ! Surtout si la nouvelle date d'il y a plus d'un an... Mais je dois reconnaître que l'idée me plaît. Extrait de l'URL source :
Great post about what Google is up to by Rich Skrenta. He argues that Google is building a huge computer with a custom operating system that everyone on earth can have an account on. His last few paragraphs are so much more perceptive than anything that's been written about Google by anyone; Skrenta nails the company exactly:En attendant (en savoir plus), vous pouvez toujours créer des logos Googlien à cette adresse o:-) ou faire un GoogleFight par là, ou encore laisser vos impressions vis-à-vis d'une note que j'ai posté (non sans un peu d'humour) sur le groupe Google Personalized Homepage.
Google is a company that has built a single very large, custom computer. It's running their own cluster operating system. They make their big computer even bigger and faster each month, while lowering the cost of CPU cycles. It's looking more like a general purpose platform than a cluster optimized for a single application.
While competitors are targeting the individual applications Google has deployed, Google is building a massive, general purpose computing platform for web-scale programming.
This computer is running the world's top search engine, a social networking service, a shopping price comparison engine, a new email service, and a local search/yellow pages engine. What will they do next with the world's biggest computer and most advanced operating system?
Et si la question vous turlupine de savoir pourquoi tous ces produits estampillés Google voient le jour, eh bien le début de réponse est ici.
