While his conflict is obviously not as big as Schmidt’s was, it wouldn’t be all that surprising to see Levinson leave one of those board seats now that Google and Apple have businesses that are increasingly overlapping.

TechCrunch Japan has deleted the picture on the translation page and spelled out its apology, since it is not appropriate. As a Japanese, I strongly request TechCrunch to delete or use other pictures. I am disappointed that you see the Atomic bomb is just a bomb.

[...] But back to Ballmer. What makes these comments really interesting is his history of making disparaging comments about something, only to have it go on to massive success. The most obvious example of this is the iPhone “There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance,” Ballmer once said (along with what he said in the video below). The iPhone has of course reshaped the mobile industry. Its combination of excellent hardware, software and the killer App Store, has forced competitors to follow its model. Yes, even Microsoft. It’s also making Apple billions of dollars in revenue, and has expanded the OS X user base by millions. [...]

What a bunch of arrogant know-it-alls in this comments section (not all, just most). This WILL happen. This WON’T happen. This will NEVER happen. Such certainty! You must all be rich given your predictive powers in tech…except, of course, that you can’t all be right (and I suspect that very few of you are actually on the money, your views tend to be too extreme and what actually happens in tech – and most things – tends to lie somewhere in between extreme predictions).

I had given up reading comments sections after Digg and Youtube but I thought that the comments on Techcrunch might be more illuminating. Well, that was half an hour I won’t get back.

Here’s an example of what I had hoped to see: I “suspect” that Chrome OS will take some time to get real traction but that it, or a derivative of it will cause, at least a shake up (or a re-evaluation) of what an OS means or needs to be. I agree that in the short-term MS is “more likely” to see competition on terms of netbooks (although they will have had a year for Windows 7 to gain traction and there is also another year for moblin and ubuntu netbook remix et al to get better too). “If”, however ChromeOS is a game changer then inevitable Apple will “probably” be affected as well in the same way that it has been the interface and integrated experience of the iPhone that has altered how people see and what they look for from a portable device.

Given, that all of the noticeable effects and impacts of ChromeOS are at least a year away and “probably” more like two or three years away then I think it is actually very hard to predict what will happen longer-term as, in the tech world of late, two to three years is like a lifetime. Given therefore, that we are all just speculating wildly (in some cases) could we all just back the righteous certainty (and name-calling) down a notch or seven?

I do believe that Chrome OS will not have a significant impact on the OS market due to the fact that Microsoft is pretty much ingrained as the “standard” Operating system for the average joe. When said person goes out to buy a computer they don’t really care about what is the “best” so to speak they just want something that works and works with everything. As the computer world knows Windows is pretty much compatible with everything a college student, a parent, or a grandma needs to do typical computing. And lets not forget the PC gaming world. Nothing runs games like Windows does.

Google had emphasized Chrome OS will be for those with “heavy Internet use”. That means many people. It also means those with access to broadband, plus don’t care too much about individual applications. If they want to type a two-paged document, their main concern is the content, not “Word, OO Writer or AbiWord” – any dumb program will do. Google Apps are good enough for them.
