ChromiumOS Zero Boots Faster, Offers Automatic Updates [Updates]
In: Coding
13 Jan 2010
Chromium OS, the open source build of Google’s upcoming web-focused netbook system, was made into a thumb-drive-friendly build early on by a helpful hacker named Hexxeh. His latest build, ChromiumOS Zero, adds Chrome extension support, speed boosts, and other goodies.
Here’s the official list of updates at Hexxeh’s blog, with notable improvements in the delay suffered by Broadcom-based Wi-Fi and the Chromium browser at the heart of the OS. The build still fits on a 1 GB USB drive, surprisingly, can be updated in-system from this release forward, and is offered as a BitTorrent download from Hexxeh’s site.
Wanna give ChromiumOS Zero a go on your own laptop from the safety of a USB stick? Check out Gina’s human’s guide to running Google Chrome OS, which details running a Hexxeh-based build from a thumb drive.
ChromiumOS Zero is a free download, and boots (usually) on non-Mac systems.

It means whatever IP address you're entering is unreachable which means it doesn't exist on your network.
IE will take you to the search page of your default search engine when IE can't find something. It's not Google's fault, it's because whatever you're trying to find isn't there, so either your router isn't hooked up properly or it has a different IP address

I've gone back and forth between pc and mac since 1981. I''ve supported both for many years. I used to prefer macs but in the last few years macs have become more cumbersome, so now I only use pc (vista). Besides, mac powerbooks are around 4 to 5 times more expensive than a pc notebook with the same features.
