A Computer Scientist

• Hey, I can’t use my laptop just because no wireless network – my own machine!
• Hey, to connect the network, I have to get certificate first, how can I do that?
• Hey, don’t regard me as stupid

• Did you catch that they are not using a wireless device to flap the next slide?
• Without TPM/TCM, how can they check signatures of ‘firmware’, lowest component of Chrome OS?
• Yep, as you saw, they are relying on Flash Player (external module) unreliable unless Google monopolize everything!
• They made javascript allow to access hardware, how can they manage capabilities, which not mostly ignored in Linux?

• Fast? I feel slow – Need native execution framework like native client
• If any extension is allowed, whole system will be vulnerable ever
• All my information/data is concentrated only on my ‘password’
• If you password is disclosed, any attacker can access your data in ‘any’ google machine under Chrome OS
• We cannot develop Chrome OS application on Chrome OS, see this article http://www.paulgraham.com/apple.html

• I have to compile/install and read the codes next week

Concurrency features & Fast compilation of Go Programming Language are pretty exciting, but I am little confused of language semantics and syntax. I have to keep my eyes on.

Why system language? – there is run time support.

Why we feel compilation is fast? – stacking objs files could make snow ball effects on little modification

New language? we can support easy-to-use concurrency features as library

Many languages, hard to cover them all. no time to spend on them.
