This was really an excellent find. *Thank you for the article.
   *This line ties it all together for me: But the truth is that
   Google doesn*t have to choose. ChromeOS doesn't have to lose.
   *Android doesn't have to lose. *From a user's standpoint, they
   really don't*care*what's running underneath as long as they can
   get 'it' (the device) to do what they want it to do. And that's
   the truth. *I'm glad they're sticking with Chrome OS in the long
   term. *I was negative about it at first - having spotty Internet
   where I am, the concept of "everything online' has a definite
   down side. *Can't*alwayscount on the 'net to be there. At the
   same time, you sort of*can*count on it. *It gets more and more
   reliable in more and more places. *Backup systems are getting
   better and more reliable. *Apparently, the way Google Docs (or
   whatever its called now - I think it's just "Google Drive") -
   handles editing live documents between being hooked up online
   and losing online*in the middle of typing uses a "save every
   keystroke" that's just as powerful as the kind of intense code
   required to keep multiplayer games running with a sense of "no
   lag". *[it's well engineered lag - when the lag is engineered
   correctly]. Anyway, thank you my friend. Good article.
