inspiration and life path seeking? a little too rich a dish for my liking

Too much for a blog's goal?

It's honestly the major reason I continue to write. No man is an island. My views suck in isolation, they get pretty awesome after sharing. That process of shaking down vulnerable thoughts is priceless.

The title implies that Chrome OS is in fact more than a dumb terminal, but the article does nothing to support the notion, in fact it argues the other side.

I'm trying to find out the differences. I don't know the answer. The entire post is a question with supporting information. Are there any important details I'm missing at this point?

> My preference is a full functioning OS with an optimized browser. Then I get the best of both worlds.

nope. if you lose that computer you have trouble. if you lose a chromeOS computer, you just get another one and log in.

I'm more likely to lose Internet access than one of my computers. I typically lose Internet access a number of times a day. I lose computers once every 5-6 years, and backup the important stuff in multiple locations.

I hear ya though, it's nice to be able to see the same desktop everywhere I go. Maybe a little more offline support?

I like that little 3d tag cloud he has on the side, even if it flash-based. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cumulus/
