Google σε παρακαλώ πολύ: Don't be evil!

On the last day of November, 2009, after the initial rush of excitement around Google's Chrome OS launch had quieted a bit, Ryan Paul and I sat down with Matthew Papakipos, the engineering director for the Chrome OS project, and Eitan Bencuya, from Google PR. I had done my best to sort out the why's and wherefore's of Google's first consumer OS effort in my initial launch coverage but I still had many questions about the past, present, and future of the project.

What followed that afternoon was an interview that was so candid, in-depth, and informative about not just Chrome OS, but about the present and future of the Web as a distributed application platform, that we chose to sit on the results until the holiday and CES madness had passed. So, in this brief pause between CES and the coming iSlate hysteria, we present our Chrome OS interview.

Over the course of the interview, Papakipos and Bencuya go into considerable detail about topics that range from big-picture perspectives on how Google develops software and where it sees the Web going with HTML5, to the nuts and bolts of what Chrome OS is slated to offer in specific areas. In short, we cover the following ground:

-How and when the Chrome OS project was conceived
-The relationship between Chrome OS and Android
-How Google is trying to tackle the same "file handler" problem as Windows OLE and the registry, but in the cloud.
-Who Google sees as the target audience for Chrome OS, how did they decide which projects and features to pursue
-The convergence of the phone and the computer
-Nuts and bolts details, like native client execution, security, and UI issues
-The significance of Chrome's built-in media player

In the text below, the speakers should be obvious, but just in case you need it: JS is me (Jon Stokes), RP is Ryan Paul, MP is Matthew Papakipos, and EB is Eitan Bencuya.

Πολύ ενδιαφέρον όλη η συνέντευξη αλλά στα δικά μου μάτια είναι πλέον ξεκάθαρο. Η Google έχασε το δρόμο της. Για μια εταιρία που έχει προϊόντα όπως Google Earth, Google Maps, κα. δεν ξέρει τι κάνει, γιατί το κάνει και πότε θα το κάνει. Παράδειγμα και το Google Wave. Απίστευτη διαδικτυακή τεχνολογία που δεν μαθαίνουν στον κόσμο τι κάνει, γιατί το κάνει, κλπ. Απλά την κάνανε και την αφήσανε εκεί. Don't be evil. Το θυμάστε το ρητό σας βρε Googleάνθρωποι;
