Intel gives discounts to get sped-up, Core-based Chromebooks
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksOperating SystemsIntelGoogleChromium OS
Google Chromebooks will soon get a big speed upgrade in return for a slight discount, insiders claimed Wednesday. The Chrome OS hardware will reportedly go to Core i3 and beyond processors and, to make the price balance work, will get a 10 to 20 percent discount from Intel on the chips. Existing partners Acer and Samsung were reported by Digitimes as onboard and might be joined by ASUS and others as soon as early 2012.
The upgrade would come as a tacit admission that Chromebooks weren't necessarily working in their current price field. Although they cost $50 to $100 more than a netbook, they don't really have better performance, insiders said. The two systems out so far also supposedly have ...

Chromium OS running on a MacBook Air: somewhere, a mad scientist cackles in the night
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksOperating SystemsAppleGoogleMacBook Air 13-inch Mid 2009Chromium OS
Does it hurt your brain to look at the picture above? That'd be Chromium OS -- running on a MacBook Air! Pretty much the definition of "worlds colliding," this feat is brought to you by Hexxeh, whose most recent mind-warping project put Chrome on an iPad. The platform-mixing maestro says in this case everything works except Bluetooth, owing to a lack of support. But hearty souls who seek to follow in his footsteps, take heed: there's no dual-boot option, and you will lose OS X -- so perhaps this is a job for your now outdated model. Click the source link for 14 easy steps to turning your svelte laptop into Frankenstein's monster, but sadly, there's no mention of where to buy that hopelessly ...

Chrome OS gets hacked via ScratchPad extension
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleChromium OS
In a preview of a demonstration at the upcoming Black Hat security conference, a security researcher has demonstrated how browser extensions can be used to compromise Chrome OS. WhiteHat Security specialist Matt Johansen reported spreading a note containing malicious code via the ScratchPad extension.
The Chrome extension ScratchPad has a wide range of permissions that made it vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack, Matt Johansen, an application security specialist at WhiteHat Security, said July 14 in a preview of a presentation he will be making at Black Hat.
Johansen did his work on the Google CR-48 Beta laptop released last fall, but said malicious extensions would affect any device...

Chrome OS UK launch: everything you need to know
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleChromium OS
Samsung’s Chromebook is hitting UK shores this week, but how does it work? What else will be available that uses Chrome? And what about the data?
All is revealed after the break. Don’t buy a Chromebook until you’ve read it!
Chrome is Google’s operating system that’s always online. That’s right, you do everything through the Cloud (hello, Google Docs!), meaning super quick start up times, and no headaches if your laptop crashes, as everything is always backed up. You can also access your documents wherever you are, as long as you can get online, so no need to have that vital USB key with you.
