Are these the Google chrome OS Screenshots? Nooo-waaay!

Yes my friends, these may be, in fact, the actual Google OS. If you look you can see that the OS is very simplistic, but yet looks as if it can support things like widgets / gadgets. The cool part is though it looks as if the Chrome browser is the main portal to your apps, like Gmail, Calendar and Docs.

This, I think, would be great for students because, face it, we live on the internet and having an OS that is based soley on that is perfect. This would also be a neat way to introduce people that are new to computers, like grandparents or kids...

Mac mini buyer got Mac OS X Snow Leopard disc in the box?

If his story is to be believed (and it seems pretty believable), an anonymous tipster to Engadget got a nice surprise with his recent Mac mini purchase: a Snow Leopard install disc.

The disk clearly states that it is Version 10.6 and for the Mac mini, if the screenshots don't lie. This is a shock to all apple fanboys everywhere.

All this only takes the confusion to a whole new because the ship date is August 28 and dubbed as september elsewhere. The september date may be confused with Apples rumord september 9th Event.

Never-the-less the pictures speak for themselves...

According to one new source, the Zune HD was a no-show today at both of his Houston-area Best Buys, which made some Zune fans a little down :(

But thanks to CrazyphoneGuy of Twitter and his stupefying Twitpic reel, the well taken picture above is the Zune HD's new box. Considering the Zune HD is packaged in cardboard and the iPod touch is packaged in plastic that's a plus for the Zune's packaging. Even though it looks quite a bit like existing Zune boxes, there is no lack of eye catching colors and a sleek dark finish, attracting your eye. Anyone else track down the Zune HD at a Best Buy today, or was NVIDIA just fooling with us?

The top 10 Youtube Fail videos in history

Ahh, the life and times of Youtube. These people are a special group of people. They stand for what they believe in, and are not embarrassed to face the title of "Top 10 fails on Youtube". This list includes, a lovely Proposal gone wrong, a slide that is NSFW, a train that is more stuffed than a turkey on thanksgiving, a grape stomp gon horribly wrong and a man who uses his head for more than thinking. So enjoy, and pay your respect to these special men and women.
