Idiots-Guide introduction to Google ChromeOS. The resurgence of the thin-client OS is an interesting idea, but this video with its “Woah, But Hey!” surfer dude voice-over is ‘like so totally’ not the way I would promote this. (Also, why obsess about saving 35 seconds off your boot-time if all you are going to do is type inane IMs with your Valley Girl friends…)

I know this has been published for ages. Still, you have to smile at some of the “Statistically Improbable Phrases” auto-summarised for the Amazon page for Hodgman’s second book: “Inner Sun, Minor Television Personality, Nutrient Slime, Tone Detector, Brain Sharks, Chicken Butt, Unusual Rain…”

The “Trends & News” sidebar in Brizzly is really useful as it has drop-down explanations, a feature missing from the Twitter home page. Also, a lot of what makes the top trends is inane yet unintentionally hilarious.

I stopped reading Dilbert about the time it became a TV show (anyone remember that?) But I did enjoy this Twitter-centric strip that was doing the rounds on the Interwebs over the weekend.
